I swear I love the fact that they actually gave the number 3 spot to Game's Jesus Piece album, cos that's where it belongs. I love that album so much, but people discredit Game, and don't give him the respect he deserves. Forget all the controversy, and all the guest appearances on the album, it is a great one. In fact, their top 3 is actually my top 3 for 2012. I love The Source right now.
