I never heard it because I know Lupe is wack..

The Cool was overrated IMO, Ok his first album was worse than The Cool, but The Cool was still tacky... Had maybe 2 or 3 decent songs on it.

Atmosphere- When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint that Shit Gold
The Grouch- Show You the World
Living Legends- The Gathering
Akrobatik- Absolute Value

Em..Are you for real??

Lil Wayne isn't my "cup of tea" so to speak but who cares if he likes it?

no prob... and thanx for remindin me that Prodigy dropped the best comeback LP this year...



yeah... I ain't heard those two bolded :slapsself:... how were they??? I know MJG came hard, but how was Ball and EDI's joint?

Both are good

8 Ball's is a little bit better though

Add Little Brother- And Justus For All to mine.

A lot of people are feeling Sheeks new album.

I've been too lazy to check it out, I guess I should get into it soon.

Blue Sky Black Death- Late Night Cinema
The Roots- Rising Down

Been kind of a drab year for me so far.

Joe Budden- Mood Muzik 3( a mixtape I know but that shit should have been a fuckin album)
J.R. Writer- Politics and bullshit
Bun b- II trill
Ransom- Street cinema
Clipse- Saga continues
Ricky Ro$$- Trilla
Sheek Louch- Silverback gorilla
Wayne- Tha Carter III

I didn't think he had it in him.

This is probably the best D-Block album in a minute. Sheek (other than jae hood) used to be the weakest link in the Lox, but he's giving Styles P and Jada a run for their money with this album. Good production.

Em..Are you for real??

Yeah I'm for real.

2008 has been a slow year for hip-hop, so far. The summer's coming up though, and then the fall and that's the best time of year for albums so my list is definitely going to change. I really like The Carter 3, but I hope it's not the album of the year because I'll be disappointed.

I'm looking forward to Common, Heltah Skeltah, G-Unit, T.I., Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and a whole bunch of others...this can be a really good season for music.

Kidz In The Hall - The In Crowd
Bun-B - II Trill
The Roots - Rising Down
N.E.R.D. - Seeing Sounds
Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
Lil' Wayne - Tha Carter III
elZhi - Euro Pass
Coldplay - Viva la Vida
Wale - The Mixtape About Nothing


No order, that's pretty much all I've listened to the whole year. D/l'd the last three. I actually bought C3 cause I had a leftover $10 Circuit City gift card from GTAIV so I was like ahh what the fuck.

He never really released a weak album to begin with. He may not be lyrical but his first 2 albums are quality.

theres threads to both of them

H.N.I.C. 2 is my fav of 2008

^ yeah that was my pick for album, but nas nigger tape was the best of the year so far even though it was a mixtape.

After giving eMC's The Show another few listens since i first got it, i have to change my mind on it.. a very good album, very consistent - would have to be my favourite of the year so far just above Ode To The Ghetto.
