That's my chart for this year so far(uncomplete).Before you start telling me what you think(if you want), I wanna add some things:
You won't see Mddl Fngz, Curren$y or UGK cause I don't listen to southern rap even tho I have tried.They might be quality like last year's A.B.N. album which was great but I didn't listen to it more than once.DJ Quik & Kurupt is another missing thing because of the same reason.No P.O.S. too, cause I'm definitely not a fan of anything out of Rhymesayers, otherwise I'm pretty sure that it's top quality when every Rhymesayers fan likes it so much. =) To explain that better cause some guys seem not to understand it, I just don't say that they suck cause I don't understand and don't feel their music, I don't like them and that's not my type of Hip Hop.That's a reason for not listening to them, not a reason for saying that they suck. And then you won't see Kid Cudi cause I feel like fuck him and fuck his baby mother too.*You won't see Q-Tip cause his new-old album is not a rap album. Eligh & Jo Wilkinson - On Sacred Ground was an interesting one, nice for listening good mix of Hip Hop and folk/soul music but again, it's not in the list cause I can hardly call it a pure rap album.

I won’t say complete opinion about the year as a whole before it ends up, but til now it’s the year of the hugest disappointments. To start with B-Real, this solo album I’m waiting for since 2005. Bullshit. Shyheim, one of my favorite Wu family members, came three times dope, one good, and now what? Dissing Wu and Raekwon and coming with may be the shittiest album I’ve ever heard(really).Nine – I really don’t want to talk about it. Sadat X solo stuff is getting worse and worse every year. CunninLynguists and La Coka Nostra were disappointing as hell too.
And the worst of it all – The Take Over and Blackout 2.No words about them. Meth have never sounded worse, really. And the production on The Take Over, wtf!?
Anyway, so far it’s nice to see that some mc’s still got it, and some new school acts are getting better(Tanya Morgan, DJ Mitsu, I think Torae is growing too even tho he just doesn’t pass good with the Marco Polo beats).

Well?

    There's still a few albums that should come out. Since you're not a Rhymesayers fan, I guess you're not that eager to hear Brother Ali's new joing. And the Clipse are still to drop, that could turn out to be quite dope.

    I think it's too soon to say anything general about the year, it could turn out to be quite decent, really. Probably not as good as the last few, but hey, you can't have it all.

    As far as your list goes, I still haven't put together a list of albums that came out, so I'd have something of an overview. People are gonna be all over your ass for putting Slaughterhouse that low, haha. I'm not a huge fan either, but it could still be a little higher. And I wouldn't even put Nine on the list, that shit was just horrific. I'm still trying to forget it ever dropped. Sadat should probably be higher though... And props for checking out Jim Snooka, I'm a little afraid people are gonna sleep on this dude, and they really shouldn't.

    The Slaughterhouse place doesn't really matter cause I have deleted everything after 25 except for several songs.I'm not that optimistic on the Clipse joint tho.Yeah, Brother Ali isn't interesting for me.Jim Snooka is really dope, it could go even higher if it grows on me.I'm a little afraid that people will sleep on DJ Mitsu.

    There have been quite a few disappointments this year, but, 2009 has been a sick year for music. It's a shame you don't like southern rap, cause the UGK and Curren$y albums are dope. And Cudi's is off the hook! Check out my list if you wanna check out my tops so far this year.

    Here's a few you might wanna check out: B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray, The Breakfast Club, Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero, The Warm Up*, YES!*, Mental Liberation, Bullets Ain't Got No Name Vol. 3, All In A Day's Work, A City With No Seasons, Say G&E!, BLACKsummers'night, and Back to the Feature*.

    "And then you won't see Kid Cudi cause I feel like fuck him and fuck his baby mother too." That made me laugh pretty hard.

    2009 was mediocre at best, not a great eyaf for Hiphop, not a great year at all. Best things we're Marco Polo, Fabio Musta, Doom (born like this) and offcourse Godfather Don. I personally really dig Sadat X, but that's another issue

    theyfan - heavily disagree with your list(even tho there are lots of albums I haven't heard) but I feel happy and even jealous that you think Brooklynati is perfect and put it at #9 cause in my opinion even my #1 is far from perfect.I'll listen to the Diamond District album and will tell you what I think about it.
