For the fuck of it: Best rap album of 2006

[Will_B]

Lookin back to when major releases were droppin off, I'd say '06 is the time there was still a wealth of QUALITY mainstream rap albums droppin. Since then I got more underground shit that anything to be truthful.

To kick it off I gotta say for me, I got love for The Big Bang. Big impact on first bumpin that shit and still knocks today. Personal classic to me.

t.i. - king...king also outsold every album out that year too.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Of course you name an Aftermath project  

Can't really remember 2006 but my vote would be Game Theory. Looking back it actually wasn't that strong of a year.

Actually I picked up a promo copy of this from a dodgy record shop in London when it was just out...nothin to do with Aftermath whatsoever, just Busta bein fresh as shit at that time. Its an undeniably good album anyway, u don't think?

Not a been a fan of Roots later stuff, but I'll peep this on your say so

The big bang was the big disappointment, but busta's last good album was E.L.E. then he fell off after that album.  And I liked busta from the days of L.O.N.S.  Only good songs from that album was touch it & you can't hold the torch.  I try not 2 remember 2006 cause that was the absolute worst year of my life  And also that's when rap & all music 2gether turned to crap rap & crap music.  Barely any good stuff out, the good music that I was able 2 find that year was from dubcnn & wcrydaz & most of the music then was better than what was on the radio.  There were good albums in that year.

Slim Thug-already platinum chopped & screwed
E-40 my ghetto report card
Dogg Pound-cali iz active
Suga Free-just add water
Tech N9ne-everready
in that order.  I did hear a few good songs in king, not in a long time.

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

Busta had some bangers on his album too
