i know it's me, but most of that shit just don't appeal to me at all (anymore). Anyways, my personal top 5 albums in hiphop this year would prolly be

1) Masta Ace - Long Hot Summer
2) Kanye West - College Dropout
3) Murs - 3:16
4) Sabac - Sabacolypse
5) Ghostface - Pretty Toney LP

or sumthin, but except for no. 1 i'm not too sure about anything. Amerikaz Nightmare and Tipping Point eg were decent too....peace
