I'm finally starting to like this dude (ayo).
Dope Album. Kanye Killed it this year. I have read that street dudes dont like this album, and that its not real hip hop and whatever. Its a great record. Really. If you dont like it now, you probably will in 5 years time.
As far as rapping, he doesn't ride the rhythm the best like Jay-z for example.
As far as his beats, it's often-times a sorta "scrappy" production style.
but nonetheless, his tracks are really starting to grow on me.
Okay that took longer than I thought... You guys are slippin.
Naturally you had heard every single track on every album to come to that conclusion?

Webbie's album is pretty good, but I cannot conscionably list it as being among the "best of" anything.
It did, however, include one of my favorite lines of the year in the track "Like That" where Webbie describes what attributes of various female celebrities his ideal woman would possess. In introducing the subject of Halle Berry he drawls hesitantly "Y'ever seen that movie Monster's Bawl?" like he's not sure whether admitting to being down with something so artsy-fartsy is a good look or not.

Like a big booty assss Black Di-vaah... That line would, of course, exclude Haile Barry.
Not many. But haven't gone out of my way to listen to much.
Edan - Beauty & the Beat. Best 'album' in a long time.
Gorrilaz - Demon Days might as well count as a hip hop LP. Has De La and dude from Pharcyde on it, probably got less MTV play than pop music by Ying Yang Twins, 50 Cent etc etc etc etc etc etc etc, so why not.
Some nice mixtapes I heard downloaded. Mixtapes way fwd - ignore copyright, ignore MTV playlist suitability. Maintain artistic integr'ty. Probably lots of good hip hop come out on CDR this year.. any suggestions for dl?

Wow... really stuck on the whole 'integrity' thing yet somehow Gorillaz is pure rap in your book while Ying Yang and 50 are pop?? Thats fucked, dude.
MTV shows plenty love to Gorillaz, best believe... and thats the one record that somebody was buying almost everytime I was at the record store this year (and don't think for a second the 40-somethings who love that record would touch an actual rap album)... I doubt Ying Yang is even coming close to their sales

I had a promo of that Count Bass D for maybe a week, but after two listens realized it was really just a poor man's MF Doom record and dumped it (yes I realize he's been around for a while... but comparing the old stuff to new it does sound like he's riding Doom's D these days...)
Speaking of, MM FOOD was great but I think that's a 2004 release...
