Hey everyone, for a blog I run on the side called EMAC (Electronic Music Appreciation Center), which focuses on music that carries any sort of electronic or hip hop influence, I've compiled lists of my top 25 favorite electronic and/or hip hop albums and tracks of 2011. Links to the original posts with the albums and their respective write-ups are available below, as well as the list of top tracks with a link a post that includes YouTube links for each song. I also included a few albums that barely missed the main list, but that I felt deserved very honorable mentions. Thanks for reading!
