Meh, that's a hard one, there hasn't been a hip-hop release that I really loved this year. My favorites have to be

Talib Kweli - Eardrum
Jay-Z - American Gangster
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool
Cunninlynguists - Dirty Acres
UGK - Underground Kingz

And for the Dutch people in this thread (if there are any): Sticks & Delic - Fakkelteit

I still have to check out the Pharaohe Monch release.

The only Rap I've checked out this year is [I]8 Diagrams[/I]. I might check out Pharoahe Monch if I can be bothered.

Do it, Jono.

I liked:

Brother Ali - The Undisputed Truth
Panacea - The Scenic Route
Blue Scholars - Bayani
Jay Dee - Jay Loves Japan
Moka Only - Vermilion
Ghostface Killah - The Big Doe Rehab
Cunninlynguists - Dirty Acres
Little Brother - GetBack
Sean Price - Jesus Price Supastar
Devin the Dude - Waiting to Inhale
Eightball and MJG - Ridin' High (UGK fans should check this out)
Oh No - Dr. No's Oxperiment
Percee P - Perseverance

I still need to hear the new Lifesavas.

I used to be into Jeru a lot but he gets very boring bth

Just remembered, I did listen to the new Dizzee Rascal. It's pretty good.

Just managed to get the full tracklist of Canibus - Rip The Jacker. I've been trying to get hold of it for ages, can't seem to buy a copy anywhere so I downloaded it. Played it twice now and it's sweet as.

It's good every once in awhile.

I really gotta hear some Oh No stuff, will someone please upload something awesome?

What's your email?

Just downloaded Pitbull - [I]El Mariel[/I]. Gonna listen to it in a bit, I've heard good things about him so I hope it doesn't disappoint.

[QUOTE=Time;15725306]Oh yeah I remembered something else I wanted to ask. I really like Common, he has good flow and lyrics and his stuff is just really uplifting. Could someone recommend me some other artists that have that uplifting, old school type feel?[/QUOTE]

Mos Def, Az, InI, Felt

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan;15730558]What's your email?[/QUOTE]Could you send it my way aswell? [email]Kyle_libertine@hotmail.com[/email]

Much obliged.

Lately I've been loving a few certain artists....I've bought some albums from these guys:

Erykah Badu
Fugees
Wyclef
Lauryn Hill
Beastie Boys

I especially enjoy Badu and Lauryn Hill's album.

[I]The Score[/I] is one of the best ever

Those are all decent :). You'd probably like Dave's Chappelle's Block Party movie, features performances from Erykah Badu, Fugees, Common, Black Star, The Roots, Dead Prez and alot more.

Anyone seen it? I liked it although I would prefer that they showed abit more of the performances.

It's on of my favorites. Dave's hilarious as always and the performances are great.

Yeah it's funny at times :). Only thing that really annoys me is Talib's voice, which is awful.

I just got Cannibal Ox's The Blue Vein, it seems pretty good. Any fans?

'Fantastic Damage' is better.

don't die without checkin' that out, peace

I the only Hip Hop I bought this year from this year was Pharoahe Monch's Desire.
A great album.
I want Talib Kweli's Eardrum album but I don't know if it's any good.
Anyone know?

[QUOTE=cbmartinez;15760273]I just got Cannibal Ox's The Blue Vein, it seems pretty good. Any fans?[/QUOTE]

Wait...the Cold Vein? Or maybe an instrumental version or something?

Anyway, yeah. It's one of my fav. albums, and def my favorite thing that El-P has done. Check out Company Flow and EL-P's Fantastic Damage.

It's great, get it.

Saw Blackalicious and Busdriver at Falls Festival over the last few days.
Busdriver was really amazing, brilliant performer. Blackalicious were ok, but Gift of the Gab live is a bit boring, not much animation. Still fun for a dance though, didn't play enough from [I]Blazing Arrow[/I] either.

Is Busdriver as fast live as he is on his albums?
