Joe Budden - Mood Muzik 3 [street album]
my first Joe Budden listen EVER, always thought he was some bullshit party ass rapper, but this MM3 is Exactly the type of hiphop i like; deep beats, nice R&B hooks and lyrics that actually have content.

hav u heard MM2 yet?

Evidence - "The Weatherman LP"
This was a stupidly overlooked album - last I heard, it had sold something like 6,000 copies. The production, mostly from Ev and The Alchemist, is consistently brilliant. And the concept is dope - it's downbeat, dark and the perfect antithesis for years of 'sunny-sounding' West Coast releases.

I still don't know why everybody sleeps on it, he is as West Coast as it gets.
Other than that, out of albums that I bought:
Kanye- Graduation

Frontline- Lock & Left
Another overlooked album, no promotion, I didn't even hear about it coming out, but it really was worth a listen.

Kenna- Make Sure They See My Face
Not hip-hop, although it has a little hip-hop production vibe to it, but I can't take that out of my deck in my car.

Stephen Marley- Mind Control
Great album

Lupe's is going to be in here once I actually buy it, and it was hard to leave Common, Talib Kweli, Collie Buddz,  Mistah F.A.B. and Devin the Dude off the list.. Really wasn't a bad year, there is always quality music being released somewhere.
I got a bird's eye view

1-"Cobain's Diary" of King Gordy...
  
   It's really unbelieveble to find an album which its all songs are hit! I'm not joking. I love everysong. Production is perfect. Some beats sound like classic
   Eminem songs. I think it's because of they are produced by Jeff Bass. Detroit bangin'. Check him out!

2-"Rap Ultraviolins And Beatmaking" of Al Tarba

   It's underground hip hop album produced by Al Tarba. He has special guests in album. Ill Bill, Critical Madness, Apes In English and many others. I'm very
   surprised when i listened to the album. So I said who the fuck is Al Tarba? Who is Apes In English? :) It's a big succes for an amateur in France. Check
   him out!

3-"Horrorflick" of Bekay

    It's another underground album that i advice you. It has great music based on quality samples. Also Bekay is a great rapper to me. It's real hip hop
    brothers. He deserve better in this rap game. If you didn't listen this album before, you missed so much for HipHop in 2007. Check him out!

4-"Guilty by Affiliation" of WC

   One of rarely dope albums of West Coast for 2007. WC worked with unfamous producers in this album. He explained that as " i wanted to work with
   people, who are imfamous and trying to show their name to be known". It worked for WC, and he gave us a 5/5 album

5-"Fat Joints volume 1" of Sen-Dog

   It is the best mixtape of 2007 for me. Some songs sounds latin, some sound west, some sounds underground. Mellowman Ace, B-Real, RPM, Aztlan are
   some of the artists appear on the album. The song named "What What" performed by Reyes Bros' is a great song, maybe best of the 2007 to me!

1.) Wu-Tang Clan-"8 Diagrams"
2.) UGK-"Underground Kingz"
3.) Kanye West-"Graduation"
4.) Bone Thugs-n-Harmony-"Strength & Loyalty"
5.) Cilvaringz-"I"
I also bought great albums from Devin The Dude, WC, Common, Chamillionaire, Scarface, Tha Dogg Pound, Soopafly, and Ghostface, too, this year. Great year for hip-hop, IMO.

Thanks to everyone one posting. I'm hearing about albums I never even knew existed. The more I think about it, the more I believe 2007 was a much better year for hip-hop than many give it credit for.

Galactic - From The Corner To The Block < dope jazz/funk mixed with underground hip hop

Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens < amazing

Black Milk - Popular Demand < one of my favorite upcoming producers/rappers. Sounds like J Dilla with more bounce to it.

Blue Scholars - Bayani < Great new group.

Dj Muggs & Sick Jacken - Mask And The Assasin < anything Dj Muggs is involved with is way above average.

i still need to cop Wu Tang, Cunninlynguists, and Scarface

DJ Jazzy Jeff - The Return of the Magnificent

not as good as his first album but every beat bangs and some have some nice hooks
give this track a listen but its probly the best album i herd this year from the east (no pete rock)


WC - Guilty by Affiliation

this album was solid really good for gangster rap sounded like 88' lyrics with modern beats. i liked it

Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Chit

theres a few tracks you need to skip to enjoy it but its still got some bangers
