maybe "quannum - live on british radio"
or "wildchild - secondary protocol"
followed by "defari - odds & evens"
if u consider jaylib west coast (Madlib is west coast and jay dee is midwest) that shit would prolly be top 3

Imo there weren't too much good albums. There might be a lot of dope songs, but way too many filelrs on every damn album.

My favorite album of 2003:

[Foesum]

f'real it was a sick year.

I couldn't find Paris at all though, heads have been waiting for that for awhile.

[Twentytwofifty]

Weak, weak year for the west.  I mean it looks like Westside Connection is the popular opinion here for westcoast album of the year and it is good but not great.  Certainly the "westcoast album of the year" should be better than that.

[SikksTrey]

E-A Ski - Past & Present

JT The Bigga Figga - Project Poetry

Forgot bout these, two VERY slept on albums. I really hope Ski's new album drops soon..

[SGV]

Aceyalone - Love & Hate or Brotha Lynch Hung - Lynch By Inch.

Lifesavas - Spirit In Stone, E-40 - Breakin Newz, Project Blowed - Good Brothers, all get honorable mentions.
