[Jome]

Mine wasnt in order.. i was just saying the ones that i rememberd off the top of my head.

I guess I gotta put up my list again then.. 

1. Royce Da 5'9''- Death is certain
2. Masta Ace- A long hot summer
3. Mobb Deep - Amerikaz nightmare
4. Cormega - Legal Hustle
5. Kanye West - College Dropout

- NIK only jocks those albums cause he's gotta stick by the jews

Not true at all...If that were the case, I'd be stickin' up for Beastie Boys and a bunch of other muthafuckaz too...I started listening to Non-Phixion and Necro before I even knew they were Jewish...And as you can see, a lot of people agree with me that it's one of the best of the year...So it's not like I'm just pulling some whack ass albums from this year out my ass, and claiming them to be the best...LOL

[Kill]

oooo shit i forgot about ghostface,  that album was great.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Masta Ace - Long Hot Summer
Kanye West - College Dropout
Murs and 9th Wonder - 3:16
Foreign Exchange - Connected

Five is kinda open, I think any of the albums from Kweli, Mos, De La Soul and Nas may make the five.

a bunch of other muthafuckas? i dont think there that many jewish rappers...

[KURUPTION-81]

It was directed at anyone who has any of those albums on thier lists because there are many albums that are better, the six I mentioned plus, The Roots, Pete Rock, Ghostface, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Brother Ali, Mobb Deep, Cee-Lo, The UN, Chief Kamachi and probably a couple others.  Either you haven't listened to those albums or you have a shitty opinion.

No, I've never heard of Skinnyman.

Oh yeah i forgot about, bunk, banks and ghostfaces album.

People need to get up on Skinnyman, he is a great talent.

[OpTiCaL]

The Skinnyman album is heat!!

1 Person said Ill Bill, aside from you NIK. 1 Person said Sabac, aside from you NIK. It doesn't look like the entire board is agreeing with you. But, as sure as Jome loves 50, we know NIK loves Necro. No suprise. I knew if he posted in here, those names would come up for sure. To each is own...

Kanye West - College Dropout <-------Safe to say, no album has touched it yet.

Murs - 3:16

Masta Ace - A Hot Long Summer

Outerspace - Blood And Ashes

Those four stand out the most. Right now it's hard to round out the 5, it's been a real good year. A lot of good albums. I also dug the Young Buck, Pitbull, Mobb Deep, Planet Asia, San Quinn, Messy Marv, Visionaries, 2Mex, Crime Mob, and a ton of other albums this year.

NAME OUT of your mouth, bitch.
Go stalk E-40 or something, I'm not famous.

[SGV]

LOL @ E-40. How often do I bring his name up? Big fan, but not a dickrider. Unlike you with Dre and 50. P.S., don't ruin this thread with your jargon.

[NeoSoul]

1. N.E.R.D. - Fly Or Die (Wasnt as good as In Search Of .. but was dope_
2. 213 - The Hard Way (Simply for the fac that i been anticipating this since i heard of snoop)
3. Kanye West - College Dropout (Great production but too many skits.. something fresh in hip hop)
4. Rahsaan Patterson - After Hours (Great neosoul music)

can think of anything else .. nerd was ahead by a mile imo

[i love men who take pictures with their booty's out]

1. devin- to tha xtreme ( dont make albums like this nomore, jus a breath of fresh air)
2.prince -musicology ( tha fonz still has it )
3.cee-lo - the soul machine ( would be number 2..but prince has senority..sugar lo shits on kanye's album..kuz kanye sounded like he was tryin 2 hard be a lyricist..yet cee- lo jus flowed like water with it)
4.ghostface- pretty tony ( didnt get let down on this..was what i expected)
5. method man- the prequel- ( was a better than what i expected..it was pure comedy)

Dude...there are a lot more that have slipped my mind...But I only really give a shit about the Uncle Howie Records crew...I like their music, and it's not like the albums I listed aren't contenders...Seriously, ask most heads, and they'll tell you how ill the Non-Phixion shit is...3 people listed Ill Bill, and 2 listed Sabac, so I can't be far off...PeACe

You and Neap listed Ill Bill. You and Kill listed Sabac. Which means, it's 2 and 2. LOL. I don't think it's the general concensus that Ill Bill and Sabac dropped the best albums this year. You weren't exactly far off, but you weren't very close either. It's coo to dig those cats, fuck it, that's your taste. But, honestly, I really don't know many cats who dig them. And, I keep my ear to the Underground...

Masta Ace, Murs, Ghostface and Kanye so far seem to be the most popular picks in this thread. Rightfully so. Real dope albums.
