DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

First Half Of 2004 Awards

<< < (3/3)

N-Sane Brain:
It's hard to name the worst albums, songs, productions, etc. because from some albums I knew that they will be whack and so didn't listen to it. I could probably name the most disappointing album I heard this year, but not the worst. So here's my list without these ratings:

Album Of The Year (Mainstream Hip-hop Artist)
Kanye West - College Dropout

Album Of The Year (Underground Hip-hop Artist)
Okayplayer Presents True Notes Vol. 1

Song Of The Year
Saigon feat. Ali Vegas & Mekka Millz - We Want In (hard to name because I listened to so many songs this year)

Best Production Of The Year
KRS-One - Illegal Business (hard to name because I listened to so many songs this year)

The way I separate "mainstream hip-hop artists" from "underground hip-hop artists" is that the mainstream ones are artists that every hip-hop head should know of.  Royce was on Eminem's four times platinum debut, has had at least five videos on television, was several major labels, worked with The Neptunes, Dr. Dre, Eminem and other big names.  You should know him if you are into hip-hop.  I consider Gang Starr, Canibus and Kool G Rap mainstream hip-hop artists too.  Immortal Technique would be nothing to anyone outside NYC if it wasn't for the internet.  He's never been on a major, never had a video, etc.  You wouldn't necessarily know him even if you're a hip-hop head.  That's how I separate the two.
