Best hip hop album of the year? - Blu-ray Forum

Crim122 · 12-03-2008, 08:44 PM

With a lot bad there was some good this year for hip hop!

Nas new album was fantastic, as was Q-Tip's and The Roots. I have yet to hear Black Milks new album same with Nicolay, but I think my favorite of the year has to go to Nas, great come back from Hip Hop Is Dead (which sucked minus the title track)

The one that didn't get released and probably never will be.

Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told

How prophetic of him to name the album that. Out of the albums released I'd say Nas.

I had hopes that Detox and Relapse would be out before years end but it's very unlikely. I've been waiting on Detox for 7 years now. It's kind of like Duke Nukem Forever, you hear about it and it's been announced over and over but it never shows.

Saigon is back in the lab making a new album but Just Blaze will never release Greatest Story. It's supposed to be one hell of an album too.

Is Bishop Lamont due this year or next?

id have to say %95 of the hip hop albums that came out this year were garbage, and werent evne hip hop, more like Pop

Hands down best rap album of the year belongs to Ice cube - Raw footage

Raw Footage is good. Nas has a slight edge though.

Cube had some great tracks like Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It and Hood Mentality. I think those are my favorite tracks.

The only track I don't like on the Nas is Louis Farrakahn. I hate that song.

The Confessional is a mixtape and wasn't an official release.

Crim122 · 12-03-2008, 08:55 PM

I bet if 9th Wonder had ever released Wonder Years that would have been my favorite of the year.

Kaiju · 12-03-2008, 09:53 PM

I'd probably say Untitled by Nas. Luda's new cd has some good songs on it too.

Papi4baby · 12-03-2008, 09:57 PM

I use to follow releases all the time. But since i join the Navy that changed. I guess i'll be picking up the NAS album.

rubberghost · 12-03-2008, 11:37 PM

the roots.

jkwest · 12-03-2008, 11:46 PM

Q-Tip!!

Crim122 · 12-04-2008, 12:21 PM

Downloaded the Black Milk album last night, and it is REALLY fresh.

scott87 · 12-04-2008, 12:36 PM

Kanye...hands down its something new and fresh

nas and ludas album get a mention

not so sure on t.i.s album

also you either love him or hate him-lil waynes album was wicked

Crim122 · 12-04-2008, 12:41 PM

Not heard Kanyes new album yet, heard it was pretty bad...because he uses a voice changer or what not.

scott87 · 12-04-2008, 12:43 PM

i like it if im honest...the only track i dont like is robocop

give it a try its good, bit more r'n'b if im honest

Crim122 · 12-04-2008, 12:44 PM

then again Atmosphere new album is supposed to be really good, I need to check that out too!

scott87 · 12-04-2008, 12:50 PM

i dont know if its just me but there is hardly any new albums out that i actually want to get

Do you listen to anything thats not mainstream?

mikejet · 12-04-2008, 01:05 PM

Since you bring up Atmosphere, When Life Gives You Lemons sucked.

I was listening to 808's and Heartbreaks. Why is every rapper alive facinated with Autotune? PLEASE STOP. If you can't sing you can't sing so don't try by sounding like a robot.

Like I said, the best album this year should have been Greatest Story Never Told. The song Pain in my Life is brilliant. **** Just Blaze for messing that up.

Nas and Ice Cube are up there.

Honorable mention goes to The Cool Kids with Bake Sale.
Another mention to 3OH!3 cause of the song Holler Til You Pass Out.

Crim122 · 12-04-2008, 01:06 PM
