    Repito, he indagado mucho para encontrar, al fín, la lista de los verdaderamente mejores músicos de los ultimos tiempos. Son para degustar delicadamente por esas personas que de verdad sepan apreciarlos. Abtenerse los necios.

    Jul 20 2009, 15h37 por munn

    So i'm supposed to be studying topology right now, that's not happening cos it's a pile of shit so i decided to compile my top 50 hiphop albums.
    Then I realised i'd forgotten to put in two Gang Starr albums and had to go back and fix it, hence the stupid formatting. Anyway, they're in a rough order but it's not gospel as I can't really rank one particular album over another, but i can usually say what my top 10 are, so they're roughly in order but depending on how i'm feeling i might like the 6th listed album more than the 3rd listed album depending on my mood or whatever, ken what i mean.

    The Game - The Documentary
    Jay Z - The Blueprint
    Genius/GZA - GrandMasters
    dead prez - Let's Get Free
    Hieroglyphics - 3rd Eye Vision


    There are a few omissions that people will certainly disagree with; no Outkast, Kweli or Eminem. I just don't like them enough to consider putting them into a top 50. And there's no real 2pac albums, just a mix tape, but that's in there because i prefer it to any of his studio albums really.
    Big L and Redman aren't in there either, but that's not through liking them or not, rather because i haven't listened to them enough yet to decide how much I like them (criminal, I know).

    Anyway that's it, feel free to blast me for forgetting something or to agree with me for being spot on. Or even better, recommend some stuff that isn't there.
    I'll add images later, this has taken ages and i need a break

    1st February 2009

    CONSCIOUS RAP

    Key names: Common, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli


    It’s no more ferrets-in-a-sack-like than jazz, yet rap — and conscious rap in particular — is synonymous with disagreement and name-calling. Albums that include conscious-rap moments (most recently, Kanye West’s) attract particular opprobrium — not least for getting the acts concerned (see Hip-pop) played on national radio: from the political-rap crowd for pandering to pop and from conscious-rap fans for opportunism. Both camps believe they are keepers of the true flame. Releases as seminal as Public Enemy’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (1988) and Black Star’s self-titled 1998 album have long been bracketed separately, the first as hardcore and incendiary, the latter as considered and inclusive. This simplistic division continues: acts such as dead prez pursue an avowedly militant line (for instance, disowning Obama before he even took office); while the likes of Common and Lupe Fiasco produce more thoughtful but no less thought-provoking records. Staying out of the dispute and just sticking with the albums is the best option: as Grandmaster Flash demonstrated 27 years ago, the message (pun very much intended) is everything.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Recent: Common, Like Water for Chocolate (2000); Lupe Fiasco, Food & Liquor (2006); Q-Tip, The Renaissance (2008)

    Classic: Boogie Down Productions, By All Means Necessary (1988); A Tribe Called Quest, The Low End Theory (1991); Nas, Illmatic (1994)

    Key track: Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, The Message (1982)


    FREAK FOLK

    Key names: Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, Espers, Bat for Lashes


    The prefix could just as easily be “psych”, “acid” or plain “strange”, but “freak” it is for the broadly folk acts who revive and, at their best, reinvent the late-1960s sounds of The Pentangle, Trees, The Incredible String Band et al. Nobody is sure why — perhaps it has something to do with the old David Crosby line about letting your freak flag fly. These neo-hippies certainly sing and play with a straight face, and conviction casts spells. Espers indulge in such stately tempos, the Tudors could cop off to them. The guru lite Devendra Banhart is king of the scene, though his own music never quite justifies the crown. The impishly mannered Joanna Newsom — harpist, Rapunzel lookalike, mould-breaking marvel — is the real deal. Vetiver, led by the Banhart sideman Andy Cabic, are only freaks by association; theirs is a dreamier, Appalachian country vibe. With bands such as CocoRosie, White Magic and those on the Language of Stone label, the genre is seen (in an upgrade of the Greil Marcus phrase) as a manifestation of new weird america. This side of the pond, though, Bat for Lashes’ debut album, Fur And Gold, has its freakish charms, as does Goldfrapp’s latest album, Seventh Tree, while Voice of the Seven Woods show you can be a freaky folker in Manchester — but Bez-watchers knew that already.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Joanna Newsom, The Milk-Eyed Mender (2004); Espers, Espers II (2006); Bat for Lashes: Fur And Gold (2007)

    Key track: Joanna Newsom, TocarBridges and Balloons (2004)


    FRIDMANN'S FREAKS

    Key names: The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse, MGMT


    Way over to the west of New York state, not far from Fredonia, you’ll find Tarbox Road Studios. It’s an out-of-the-way place, and in winter you could find yourself snowed in, but it’s worth the discomfort because you get to work with the producer Dave Fridmann. Over the past decade or so, he has been the secret weapon behind America’s weirdest and most wonderful bands: The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Sparklehorse, MGMT. Sure, they’re all talented people, and could doubtless make good albums without Fridmann, but why would they want to when — as Mercury Rev’s Jonathan Donahue puts it — “what you end up with is almost always more than you could ever dream”. Fridmann has worked in many genres, from the post-rock of Mogwai to Weezer’s power-pop, but he is most clearly associated with the Americana-meets-psychedelia-meets-prog of the Lips and the Rev, crafting a sound that — while it clearly spends a lot of its time being warped and reworked on a laptop — remains refreshingly human. Fridmann’s latest high-profile project, MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular, typifies his work in its ability to combine clever invention with big, brash, joyous noises such as the unforgettable synth riff on TocarTime to Pretend.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    The Flaming Lips, At War With The Mystics (2006); Mercury Rev, Snowflake Midnight (2008); Sparklehorse, It’s A Wonderful Life (2001)

    Key track: MGMT, TocarTime to Pretend (album version, 2007)


    HEAVY METAL

    Key names: AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Lamb of God, Mastodon


    Not many acts can sell 10m albums in a month, but towards the end of last year, the 35-year-old Anglo-Australian rock band AC/DC sold 5m copies of their new record and chucked in 5m units of back catalogue for good measure. Their success was emblematic of an era dominated by the old guard: the long-awaited returns of Metallica and Guns n’ Roses were the big stories in heavy metal, as well as Led Zeppelin’s one-off reunion at the end of 2007. The American thrash band Testament even won Metal Hammer magazine’s 2008 album-of-the-year award, after a quarter of a century in the business. Don’t think, though, that this is a heritage genre: the combination of old masters and a legion of younger bands means headbangers have never had it so good. And metal certainly is heavy these days: Metallica’s recent offering, for instance, had all the scorching intensity of their 1980s work. Perhaps even more notable is the rise of math metal, which combines ferocious noise levels with tricky time signatures and advanced technique, as if to expunge the memory of nu-metal’s dumb formulas.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Recent: Mastodon, Blood Mountain (2006); Metallica, Death Magnetic (2008); Meshuggah, obZen (2008)

    Classic: Black Sabbath, Paranoid (1971); AC/DC, Back in Black (1980); Motörhead, No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith (1981)

    Key track: Tool, TocarVicarious (2006)


    HIP-POP

    Key names: OutKast, Kanye West, Cee-Lo Green


    In America, the term has come to mean artists such as Nelly, who are allowed on the radio because they make formulaic, unthreatening rap lite. Over here, it is used to describe hip-hop musicians whose love for, and sheer breadth of knowledge about, other genres has come to influence the music they themselves make. It’s not as simple as a hip-hop act cynically adopting some pop moves to score a hit, more a reflection of the frequency with which, when you encounter them, many acts steer talk away from their own genre and start dropping some unexpected and leftfield names into the conversation. OutKast are prime examples: with roots in southern rap, Andre 3000 and Big Boi proved too restless and inquisitive to be boxed in (characteristics that would bear glorious commercial and musical fruit with the hit single TocarHey Ya!). Kanye West has followed a similar line of inquiry, mashing up Daft Punk in 2007, with TocarStronger; and, last December, releasing an album of sepulchral electro, on which he sang, and from which rapping was entirely absent. Both acts, of course, are played on the radio — but with their integrity intact.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Goodie Mob, Soul Food (1995); OutKast, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (2003); Kanye West, Graduation (2007)

    Key track: OutKast, TocarHey Ya! (2003)


    NEO-PSYCHEDELIA

    Key names: The Aliens, Mars Volta, Super Furry Animals, The Tyde, Animal Collective


    Psychedelic rock emerged, under the joint influence of hallucinogenic drugs and eastern musical scales, in the mid-1960s. American psychedelic bands, largely located in San Francisco, were emblems of the emerging counterculture, while British psychedelia tended to be low-key, inward-looking and prone to whimsy, as in the songs Syd Barrett wrote for the early Pink Floyd, or the work of The Small Faces. Psychedelia was one of the musical forms killed off by punk in the mid-1970s, but it re-emerged in the 1990s thanks to the bands of the elephant 6 collective (The Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel), stoner rockers such as Kyuss and such inveterate experimentalists as The Beta Band and Super Furry Animals. Modern exponents include The Tyde, who offer a 1960s double whammy of psychedelia and surf music; The Aliens, an offshoot of the Beta Band with two excellent albums under their belt; Mars Volta, from Texas, who tread the fine line between psych and prog; and Animal Collective, from Baltimore, whose latest album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, is an early contender for album of the year.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Recent: The Tyde, Three’s Co (2006); The Aliens, Astronomy For Dogs (2007); Super Furry Animals, Hey Venus! (2007)

    Classic: Pink Floyd, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967); The Beatles, Strawberry Fields Forever (1967); The Small Faces, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake (1968)

    Key track: Animal Collective, My Girls (2009)


    HOUSE

    Key names: David Guetta, Eric Prydz, Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, Stimming, D Ramirez


    It’s hard now to imagine a man earning more than £150,000 in one night for putting some records on, but the Manchester DJ Sasha was paid at least that much on Millennium Eve.

    That night was the pinnacle of house music’s global reign — it had become a bloated and cynical money-making industry. When electronic music fell out of favour at the beginning of the new century, house, the biggest of all the dance styles, was hit hardest. After 15 years as the planet’s most fashionable music, it all but disappeared except in its spiritual home, Ibiza. Yet house is too versatile, too danceable, to die, and by late 2006 it was back at No 1 in the form of Fedde le Grand’s single TocarPut Your Hands Up 4 Detroit. With a new, sharper sound, influenced by French electro producers such as Daft Punk, house has been retaking its old territory and can now boast superstars again — the Frenchman David Guetta has more than 50m YouTube views to his name. For the cognoscenti, the German deep-house sound has made the genre respectable once more.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS David Guetta, Pop Life (2007); Chloé, Live at Robert Johnson (2009), Various artists, Global Guide 09 (2009) (Amazon UK)

    Key track: Eric Prydz, Pjanoo (2008)


    SECOND CHILDHOOD

    Key names: Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Al Green, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond


    For the first 20 years of its existence, rock music was deemed to be a young man’s (and woman’s) game. When musicians hit 30, it was widely assumed, they would get a proper job, buy some slippers and start listening to Des O’Connor records. But they didn’t — and, for the next 20 years, we rather wished they had done, as artists who had shone brightly in their twenties churned out a poor imitation of their best work in their thirties and forties.

    Then something magical happened. Entering their fifties and sixties, and gazing rather closely at mortality, singers started to recapture their early form. The phenomenon began with the producer Rick Rubin’s at the time extraordinary, with hindsight inspired, decision to sit Johnny Cash down, tell him to forget about musical fads and fashions, then make him sing from the heart. Next, Bob Dylan rediscovered his muse, and re-established his reputation, on Time Out of Mind. The second-childhood effect is not limited by gender or genre: Emmylou Harris is on rare form these days, the soul legend Al Green is at his magical best and even the MOR mainstay Neil Diamond has benefited from Rubinisation. And the concert sensation of last year? None other than Leonard Cohen, peaking nicely at 74.

    ESSENTIAL RECORDINGS

    Emmylou Harris, All I Intended To Be (2008); Al Green, Lay It Down (2008); Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002)

    Key track: Bob Dylan, Not Dark Yet (1997)

    every Friday 2pm till 3pm e.s.t ( GMT-5 )

    What do they put in the water in Cerritos?
    Whatever it is, this former farming community and
    current model of American suburbia is THE unlikely
    breeding ground for bona fide turntablists.
    The current generation of hip hop wizards
    surfaced in the early 90s. These visionaries
    unplugged their nintendo Entertainment Systems and
    traded them in for technics 1200s.
    They pleaded with their parents to drive them
    to pro sound in Garden Grove to buy the latest mixers,
    and snuck into the 18 and over parties thrown by Legend Entertainment,
    dreaming of the day they too would
    drop dope beats and move the crowd.
    By the time the mid to early 90s materialized,
    the Cerritos D.J. scene was dominated by three groups:
    Audio FX, Grand Groove, Icon Events.
    The competition between the three groups was intense,
    and claimed more than a few lives.
    The future of hip hop looked grim, until
    DJ Butta of Grand Groove decided to put an end
    to the silliness, and unite the three powerhouses.
    The troika put away their differences and united,
    behind the Funky President, becoming The Cerritos All Stars.
    Today, the All Stars, three in one, and one in three,
    use their powers for good, and not evil. They aim to
    influence the next generation of turntablists, and
    complete the cipher, ever mindful of the turntablists
    that came before them. Cerritos All Stars Radio,
    the brain child of DJ Kwest of Icon Events,
    is the All Stars' voice, their chosen medium to spread peace,
    love and hip hop. Long live Cerritos. Long live the All Stars.

    I'm a mexican / german / bohemian / virgo / Ex graffiti writer / breaker / new waver
    (Actually I'm still a new waver...LOL!) DJ / Events Promoter & Musician.
    I don't drink ...do drugs or smoke.. (No real reason... I just feel like I don't need it.)
    In Chicago most people know me as a dj & party promoter,
    I have been spinning records for over 20 some years &
    throwing parties for nearly as long. I have never been very happy
    doing things the easy way or even playing what everyone else is playing.
    GOD!!! I HATE THE radio!!! Well.. most of the time ...
    If you think you know what I'm going to play... your wrong.
    I like to keep people guessing... Keep them on their toes...
    I like taking chances ... mixing stuff that you wouldn't
    normally hear played together. I know it may sound selfish but,
    I only play what moves me. I think
    I just give my audience more credit than most djs
    do. Yeah, some folks want to hear the sing along stuff ...
    but some don't. I try to take care of those peeps without losing everyone else.
    I'm perfectly fine clearing a dance floor ...
    this is how new classics are made. I don't worry because
    I know exactly how to get them all rite back out there
    (I have 50 Cent records too) I just don't play them
    the same way everyone else does. LOL!

    music off and on, he moved to Tokyo Japan in 1990
    where he became immersed in the hip hop culture
    that dominated his school and the city around him.
    Getting into the music from an outside culture (being overseas),
    he began listening to artists from all over the US
    and world, rather than defining his taste by
    any coast or genre. In the late 90s while
    living in Seattle with a roommate who DJ Tagg
    found his own love for the turntables.
    He quickly began learning to spin records as

    He began spinning with his roommate at house parties
    and the rest is history. After joining the air force
    himself in 1999, he moved to Albuquerque,New Mexico in 2000 where he took off.
    He began spinning at New Mexicos legendary Vinyl
    and Verses
    in 2003 and was the resident dj by
    the end of that year. He also worked with local
    promoters such as Slo Motion entertainment as
    the opening dj for numerous concerts, events, and
    tours that came through New Mexico. He's resided
    in Macon,Georgia for the last couple years since
    completing an air force scholarship program at

    DJ Johnny Blaze
    every Monday 4pm till 6pm e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
    Los Angeles, Ca – With the continuous fall of commercial radio,
    many people have ventured into the world of satellite
    and online radio. In early 2007 So Prup Enterprises
    founder TuSlic started M.E.T.H Radio. After only three episodes,
    M.E.T.H Radio had already become popular throughout
    the hip-hop scene reaching up to 5000 listeners.
    Known for playing all styles of hip hop and
    breaking in unknown artist, M.E.T.H radio was
    labeled “ the last of a dieing
    breed in hip-hop radio.” M.E.T.H radio interviewed
    the likes of Spider Loc, The Young Hogs, Spit, 4EN6,
    Young Klev (formally of Black Wall Street) &
    others. Met by lots of controversy M.E.T.H Radio
    was banned from some popular west coast websites
    and host TuSlic was barred to real or “overly-opinionated.
    After almost a year hiatus M.E.T.H Radio came back
    with a new name and format. Now called so prup radio,
    TuSlic brought in LaMotte to co-host & DJ Johnny Blaze
    to spin in the mix at the end of each show.
    so prup radio continues to break in new artist
    but maintains a versatile play list that attracts all crowds.
    TuSlic & LaMotte discuss many issues ranging from
    politics to life issues during the topic
    of the week segment of the show.
    so prup radio has already bypassed the success
    of M.E.T.H Radio and is climbing to new heights each and every week.
    With there straightforward approach, TuSlic &
    LaMotte have gained a love-hate relationship among
    there listeners. so prup radio has garnered interest
    from many online publications and radio companies
    to syndicate the show to a bigger audience.
    so prup radio has also merged with the popular
    website hiphoprealm.net and created soprupradio.com.
    Soprupradio.com, which is spearheaded by the show,
    has already emerged into one of the premiere
    hip-hop/urban lifestyle websites online.
    hiphoprealm, which has been operating for nearly
    a decade has closed its doors to concentrate completely

  • Best Hip-Hop Albums Year By Year Since 1984 ('84-'07)

    Out 20 2008, 13h59 por Blue_Key

    Now, I was thinking. Why not compile the best of the best year to year? Now I feel that, alot of people, pick their personal faves from a specific year. I don't believe in favoritism. Like, My favorite album from '95 is 2Pac Me Against The World, but yeah, I'd put Raekwon's epic album above it. Melo should have won Rookie Of The Year, but lost to a mediocre more popular Lebron! *Even though NOW Lebron is the better player* So yeah, keep that in mind in your day to day journeys. DON'T GET BRAINWASHED!


    Run-D.M.C.-Run-DMC
    Pretty much. Nothing else compares this year. lol, there was only like, 10 rap albums this year anyways. First true Hip-Hop classic.

    LL Cool J-Radio
    Again. No competition really. But,
    2. Run-D.M.C.-King of Rock can get a shout out

    Run-D.M.C.-Raising Hell
    2. Beastie Boys-Licensed to Ill
    3. Just-Ice-Back to the Old School
    First diverse year in rap music album wise. Prior, it was pretty much just Def Jam and Kurtis Blow running it. Mainstream America started taking notice with this little thing called "Hip-Hop" this year, with Beastie and Run both going Platinum.

    Eric B. & Rakim-Paid In Full
    2. Boogie Down Productions-Criminal Minded
    3. LL Cool J-Bigger and Deffer
    CLOSE! Year. BDP and Rakim are arguably tied. BUT! Paid In Full is just too monumental. Said to be the best Rap album ever made. Ra, the first truly complex MC.

    Public Enemy-It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
    2. Boogie Down Productions-By All Means Necessary
    3. Slick Rick-The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick
    Hip-Hop's BEST YEAR! Album wise AND! Culturally. Too many great LP's to list. The simple 1, 2, 3 picks don't justify how good this year was. Was born this year too :) .

    Boogie Down Productions-Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop
    2. De La Soul-3 Feet High and Rising
    3. The D.O.C.-No One Does It Better
    SHOUT OUT GETO BOYS! Grip It! On That Other Level
    Cool year. Hip-Hop was like a moving train putting out classic product after classic product like it was easy as breathing. Now some heads may say "De La should be the best!" But nah, that album ain't even their best. De La Soul Is Dead>3 Feet High And Rising. The REAL Blueprint (Sorry Jay, ha) was full of classic commentary and battle ready rhymes that are still being sampled and abused to this day. (Jay, Ja "I got a hunnid guns a hunnid clips", etc.) Go BUY. Or, what I know a lot of you do, "download". Ha. You cheap bastards...

    Ice Cube-AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
    2. A Tribe Called Quest-People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
    3. Brand Nubian-One for All
    SHOUT OUT RAKIM! Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em !
    AHH! maybe the best year of Hip-Hop album debuts ever. YES, even better then '94's Nas/Biggie fiasco. Tribe! could have easily have been the best album this year. Same with Brand Nubian. BUT. Cube was just TOO innovative with his debut opus. Scribing classic hood tales that were entertaining and at the same time informative, I can see why this was The Source magazine's first classic rated album. (Back then they used 5 turntables, not mics. ha.)


    De La Soul-De La Soul Is Dead
    2. A Tribe Called Quest-The Low End Theory
    3. Main Source-Breaking Atoms
    SHOUT OUT CUBE! Lethal Injection.
    AHHH! again like 1990. Too many good choices. MY personal fave is Main Source-Breaking Atoms. BUT, like I said, I observe what albums were overall the strongest from that specified year. I was debating Tribe's Low End Theory. I like it better then De La Soul Is Dead, but De La just made a too creative album here that felt like an experience rather then just an LP. Props to De La for creating skits as well. Yep. Go hear this now if you haven't already.


    Dr. Dre-The Chronic
    2. Brand Nubian-In God We Trust
    3. Ice Cube-The Predator
    Ehh. This year, something was a flux. Not too many classic LP's. Ice Cube-The Predator might be the second best. I dunno. But The Chronic hands down is champion of 1992. But I can see why The Source didn't reward any album 5 Mics from 92' until, 2002, (Re-rating Both The Chronic and 2001 from 4.5's to 5). Surprised there still isn't an instrumental version of The Chronic yet.


    Snoop Dogg-Doggystyle
    Wu-Tang Clan-Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
    2. De La Soul-Buhloone Mindstate
    3. A Tribe Called Quest-Midnight Marauders
    TIE! YES! Closest year Tie way I'd say. I prefer Wu this year, but then again, Doggystyle's production could be said to be the best ever in Rap music. Any music maybe. Dre went all out here. *Daz too, Dre stealing Dillinger's beats, but that's another story, ha* I think everyone's heard these two LP's, so no need to go into detail. *I hope everyone has. If you haven't, go and kiss an oncoming train and tell me if it felt good.

    Nas-Illmatic
    Best debut ever? Best album ever? Any music genre? Well whatever the case, if these discussions come up topic wise, it must be true to some extent. You know? But yeah, 1994 was a great year, the second best Hip-Hop year in fact. ALOT! of classic crack LP wise this year will provide you with for your listening pleasures. But Illmatic is the clear cut winner. Fact, let me play it right now. ha.
    Nas-Illmatic
    2. Common-Resurrection
    3. The Notorious B.I.G.-Ready to Die
    SHOUT OUT! Scarface The Diary

    GREAT YEAR! Cuban Linx=Top 10 for me! Should be in anyone's top 10 list! They didn't invent mafioso rap here, but damn sure made it a staple in Hip-Hop in 1995. Without this LP, we may have never gotten a Camel Lipped MC's classic debut the very next year, hell, maybe no "The Firm" Nas mafia talk, and NO CLIPSE/RE-UP GANG! NO D-BLOCK! Hell, even Wayne's braided ass cites influence. Great beats paired with impeccable lyrics still not fucked with to this day make this an original refreshing album that will last forever.
    Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
    2. 2Pac-Me Against the World
    3. Mobb Deep-The Infamous
    SHOUT OUT! GZA - Liquid Swords !

    Jay-Z-Reasonable Doubt
    Fugees-The Score
    2. 2Pac-All Eyez on Me
    3. Ghostface-Ironman
    SHOUT OUT! Redman Muddy Waters !
    LAST GREAT YEAR. :( . I would have originally just put Reasonable Doubt by itself. But, I was listening to The Score's timeless, moody, but yet, joyful instrumentals, and man, it was just an overload. The lyrics are social and thoughtful as well. With L-Boogie being a lyrical threat at the same time, threatening to play her "enemies like a game of chess" on "How Many Mics".

    The Notorious B.I.G.-Life After Death
    2. Jay-Z-In My Lifetime, Vol. 1
    3. Ma$e-Harlem World
    SHOUT OUT DIDDY NO WAY OUT, WU TANG CLAN FOREVER!
    Sad year. Pac was dead. Then Biggie followed. Glam-Rap a.k.a. "Jiggy" music started flooding radio. 80's hits remixed with a rap twist. HOW GENIUS PUFF! But it worked, and wasn't THAT bad. Seeing as many albums had this sound, and are damn near classics, (Ma$e-Harlem World, Puff Daddy/Bad Boy Family-No Way Out, Foxy Brown, Jay-Z, Lil' Kim, EVEN Will Smith, etc.). But yeah, again, no contest. Nothing can touch this LP this year. Not to say there wasn't anything else good. BUT. It is in my opinion the worst rap year prior the 2000's.

    OutKast-Aquemini
    2. DMX-It's Dark And Hell Is Hot
    3. Busta Rhymes-Extinction Level Event - The Final World Front
    SHOUT OUT ! Jay-Z Vol. 2 Hard Knock LIFE!
    KAST WINS! KAST WINS! If Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, one of the best debuts there ever will be, and ATLiens, one of my favorite's ever and one of the best Sophomoric music albums ever, didn't give them their "Classic" stamp. Then Aquemini damn sure did. Organized Noize ya'll some fools for this album! Lyrically top 10 in rap ever it could be stated. Best southern album for damn sure. Shout out to DMX's takeover, Jay-Z's finally blowing up, and Lauryn Hill's dominance from this year. MASTER P! Ha.

    Dr. Dre-2001
    Mos Def-Black On Both Sides
    Eminem-The Slim Shady LP
    2. Ja Rule-Venni Vetti Vecci (YES. it's that good)
    3. Pharoahe Monch-Internal Affairs
    Hip-Hop was pretty cool this year. High tech beats were starting to show up via Timbaland, Rockwilder, Hi-Tek and of course Dr. Dre. Dre's 2001 is the clear cut winner, but I thought I'd throw in the mix, what I think could as well be album of '99, Mos-Black On Both Sides. Lyrically insane and instrumentally chill, AND amped as fuck. But Dre's production is what gave him album of the year. Some say the best produced album ever. And the singles were all just big as hell as well. Threw Em in the mix for all the white boys who are screaming pulling their hair "WHERE'S SLIM SHADY! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Ha. But, it's not F*in with the aforementioned. 3rd best though. (Even though some not in the know call it the second or EVEN the best? eww. I love SSLP though so I'm not hatin'. YEP! Just played it yesterday even.)

    Ghostface-Supreme Clientele
    2. Eminem-The Marshall Mathers LP
    3. Deltron 3030-Deltron 3030 (YES! EXPAND YOUR LISTENING!)
    Blah. Sloppy year album wise. Felt like 1997 remixed. Mainstream singles overshadowed any artistry. This was my heyday though. Radio was nice. SHAKE YA ASS! E.I. E.I. UH OHHH! WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU! BIG PIMPIN' SPENDIN G'Sss....could go on and on ha. Prior to misconception, GHOSTFACE KILLAH! Truly has the best album of the double-O. Em yeah, gets Second Place here. KIDS GET IN THE KNOW!

    Jay-Z-The Blueprint
    2. Nas-Stillmatic
    3. Ludacris-Word of Mouf
    AHHH! My favorite, and choice is Stillmatic. But, I get on knee, and admit when something is better then another. So, with The Blueprint, Jay just raped the music game here. Man this album is good. Probably the best album of the new millenium. ANY music genre. I still catch goosebumps off "You Don't Know". I love the cover too. Great color scheme. Hell, the bonus cuts were better then some rapper's ALBUMS that year. LOT OF classic mixtape tracks were birthed off these hard hitting, yet, soulful beats. Shout out to Just Blaze and Kanye who got their fame card with this album. Also to the slept on Bink!.

    Scarface-The Fix
    2. Talib Kweli-Quality
    3. Nas-God's Son
    Cool year. High School shit. Nelly and Em, Jay, were all doing their industry takeover shit as usual. Ja Rule would soon face his career ender with a unknown "50 Cent" catching noise, and Clipse-"Grinding" was the best song out, had everyone banging on their lunch tables with their fist. The Fix is the best album fuck what ya heard from '02. Just for "Guess Who's Back" featuring Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel alone. Let's not even talk about "My Block". Damn, that was a great video.

    BUT! I'll be honest. Nas-God's Son and Talib Kweli-Quality are higher ranked this year for me. Eminem Show ain't even a bad pick. BUT! This is where I wish people would admit that an album is better then their personal favorite. Like, if your an idiot and love the hell out of Tha Carter III for whatever reason, ok. But don't scream in my face how it's the best of '08 when it's not even top 25. So yeah, great year, not super classic, but it felt good.


    OutKast-Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
    2. Freeway-Philadelphia Freeway (YES! YES! DO YOUR RESEARCH!)
    3. Jay-Z-The Black Album
    lol, what up Fif, you got rich, and didn't die tryin' ...yet...
    HITS GALORE! DAMN DAMN DAMN! ha, Youngbloodz-Damn! I used to think it was a 3 way tie '03, with Kast, Jay, and Fif. But nah, Kast's album has a better lasting effect to this day. A double disc of mayhem, off color love songs, and craziness galore to make you think, dance, and whatever-else. HEY YA! had 5 year old kids jumping up and down like the ground was made of trampoline. "A Day In The Life Of Andre Benjamin" is one of the best songs I'll ever hear. AND DON'T SLEEP ON BIG BOI'S DISC! "Tomb Of The Boom" could be top 5 collaborations tracks post-2000. RESET! BREAK!

    Madvillain-Madvillainy
    The Foreign Exchange-Connected
    2. Kanye West-College Dropout
    3. Masta Killah-No Said Date
    MAN! THIS YEAR STUNK ALBUM WISE! The Mixtapes were way better then all the sub par albums this year, (G-Unit RADIO!). And I don't wanna hear no "What about Kanye?" shit. Cause I even like The Alchemist-1st Infantry more then that album. I know it's a good album, but it's boring as shit to me. Wouldn't be listenable if it weren't for the guest appearances. THE INSTRUMENTALS! now are a classic talk. "Spaceships" whoo! But It's not the best album of that year. That's just the generic choice for the mainstream consensus. This year is where, independent albums start to become album of the year choice within Hip-Hop. Whodathunkit...*Mobb Deep-Amerikaz Nightmare and Masta Killah-No Said Date are my faves from this year. Hate on that Mobb album if you want! It's the most listenable for me in '04. Shout out to 8Ball & MJG who made the best street songs that year.[

    Young Jeezy-Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101
    DJ Muggs vs. GZA-Grandmasters
    2. Kanye West-Late Registration
    3. Common-Be (Ehhh, Beanie's efforts better....)
    Fuck this year. It was so pooey that artists like Little Brother, Lil' Kim, and Common's Be were in talks of classic LP's. *In which there was no 5 out of 5 album this year, Minstrel Show's Instrumentals>The Album* Kanye has the most listenable album this year, even if I initially hated on it. As much as a fag you may think he is, I won't deny he's the best producer in MUSIC this side of Timbaland. Beanie Sigel's The B. Is Coming is slept on as well. But yeah, mediocre year. This is where the "Hip-Hop Is Dead" talks started popping up when I noticed this vision back in 03'. But yeah, Jeezy's album has some of the most atmospheric beats I've ever heard. and Grandmasters will be the best collab album ever maybe. (COME ON AZ/NAS !)

    Ghostface-Fishscale
    J Dilla-Donuts
    2. T.I.-King
    3. Clipse-Hell Hath No Fury (yeah, id put it above Nas hip hop is dead).
    Pretty decent album year if you think about it. No clear cut best, these two, Ghost and Dilla go hand in hand. So, all you mainstream kids go get you a copy of "Donuts". On a sidenote, that Roots Game Theory was ass. Back then I'd shout it out as "Top 3 or 5 of the year!" without hearing it. Then I did and it was snoreabull. Rising Down>That. T.I. King is a favorite. Good album. Not better then Fishscale though. GREAT! Mixtape year too. Lloyd Banks was killing it, and as much as Wayne is an annoying high pitched rat-mouse with lion dreads, he did kill it with Dedication 2. So yeah, id say Mixtapes>that year album wise. SHOUT OUT TO JEEZY! "The Inspiration" gets hate nowadays, I don't know why. It's a great 4 outta 5. No one hated on it back then but do now some reason. But yeah, respect them MIXTAPES! They KEEP THIS RAP SHIT AFLOAT! Clipse had a banger that year too. Nas dropped a good dud. Meaning it was ok, but not what it should have been SHAME ON YOU JAY! Should have stayed retired!

    Blu & Exile-Below The Heavens
    I dont even know..this year really sucked....lol..um,
    2. fuck it.
    yall tell me. i dont really know. fuck that year. Lupe The Cool aint better then his debut, so get off that shits nuts.
    Since Hip-Hop's sucked since like, 03', this album was refreshing to hear. I wasn't a believer really that this album was THAT good, but it is man. I don't know if it's from the year being limited until 4th Quarter release wise, or what, but this is the obvious choice to pick. I didn't buy an album this year though. :( . It stunk.

    Well, that's it. As far as '08, I wouldn't say there is a clear cut winner. YET. COME ON DRE! shit, I'm even looking out for some King Mathers/Relapse and MAYBE Before I Self Destruct. My choice is Kidz In The Hall-The In Crowd. Even if you don't agree, it DOES have the best songs and beats I've heard in '08. Only better produced LP is DJ Muggs/Planet Asia-Pain Language. OUT!

  • You want to start discovering hip-hop, but don't have an clue where to start?

    Ago 29 2008, 13h38 por Sybje

    Well here's some help!
    So i made this top 100 (for the year 2008) based on the opinions of 29 fok! users, who all sent in their personal top 20. So why not sharing it, it was a fuckload of work anyway. To give you an idea how votingprocess look like, the number 1.'s on the top 20's were worth 20 points and their number 20's 1 point. you do the math.

    *further notes; nieuw and nuevo mean -> new but i'm to lazy to change them into english words, and it makes the list looks like utter crap*

    § Position in the top 100 2008
    § Positie in the top 100 2005
    § number of points
