Dubcnn's Best Of 2007 - December 31, 2007 By : Eddie
2007 has been quite a year for hip-hop, and we've seen many quality releases from artists and producers across the nation. Because of this, we've compiled "Dubcnn's Best Of 2007" - a look back at the Dubcnn staff's favorite artists, albums, mixtapes, and singles of the year.
It was very hard to pick a single winner in each category, so we've chosen five picks under each topic. These winners were chosen from a majority vote system, and it was no easy task to pull off! Please be aware that the views and selections expressed in this "Best Of" feature are the opinions of the Dubcnn team as a whole.
Some of our staff have expressed their reasons and feelings in regards to who and what deserved to be recognized in selected categories. Also please note that images shown do not represent a 'favorite' or 'winner'. Check out what we've come up with by following the link below.
Dubcnn's Best Of 2007
We hope you have a great New Year, and we'll see you in 2008!
Drop feedback!
-
List looks pretty legit to me
I don't know if it's because this came out so late in the year, but I really thought that Bishop Lamont's "Pope Mobile" (as well as N*gger Noise) should have been in the "Mixtape of the Year" category. Dude murdered both tapes!
-
we put pope mobile under "download of the year," which is sort of the same thing, but for mixtapes you can get on Dubcnn!

wheres G. Malone?(aside from remix and anticipated album) He could of been in the single of the year west coast section.
-
don't miss this! took some time and effort to compile!
-
Looks good, I'ma check it in depth later
-
Thanks, we look forward to all the feedback!

I don't like that list. Looks like y'all just put the big major releases together. For best single you chose the major singles. Like e.g. from the UGK album the track with OutKast which is far from the best on their album, which is really dope for a 2007 release. But there are tracks like "Quit Hatin The South" ft. Charlie Wilson e.g. that own that track so hard, I mean musically. But you chose the popular one. I don't know why you missed the Kurupt track "Mystic River" which is in my top 5 of 2007. I mean this Battlecat beat is crazy and Kurupt is really deep on that one. I wonder why the DPG album gets no mentioning, regarding that it's a strong and one of their best records imo. I mean the brought back that real gangsta sound and the features were awesome. This album had energy. And last, I can't see why there is no chicano release mentioned. Especially the double disc by Mr. Criminal was very dope. Producer of the year is Fingazz for sure, you all just sleep on that. Just listen to the cuts Fingazz produced on the Criminal album, on the Capone-E album or the Down aka. Kilo album. This guy is awsome. Remember 2006 he produced the whole Roscoe album, which is near to classic to me.
That's just my opinion, y'all may think about it.
Peace

-

1) LOL at hating on Int'l players anthem as a choice for single of the year. Who gives a fuck if there were better songs on the album than that? THEY WASNT SINGLES. understand the category 1st.
2) LOL at hating on tangled thoughts. u ain't know who they is, don't speak
3) LOL at hating on Meech Wells. that tape is a banger 8)
bigg steele: congrats on sellin how much u did, but don't be mad at ppl gettin put on list. It's up to the dub, and they choose who they did. & Fingazz is great, but no way he deserve it more than most on that list

ok, i see. in that case it's all good.
-
Good shit on those picks. I don't necessarily agree w/ all of them but thats how these things go, lol. I also liked the uniqueness of some of the categories.
-
Hey in all honesty the list is not Dubcnn's best of 2007 as voted on by Dubcc. This convo ALWAYS ends up like this with a bunch of people disagreeing with they picks. It's all opinion at the end of the day.

U.G.K. only had two singles from their latest album. International Players Anthem was the best one. You, my friend, are having a little trouble understanding what the category is about. It's not "Best Album Track of 2007." We didn't miss that Kurupt track. It's in YOUR top 5, not OURS. No "Chicano" Album? Since when has Sick Jacken became Puerto Rican. Fingazz is cool, but Summertime Anthem and all that shit didn't spark interest, Sorry.

Na. No dick riding. It ain't about sales. If it was, Soulja Boy would be up there. I don't care how many songs Fingazz had on the charts, his shit was just boring. Like I said before, if sales mattered Soulja Boy would be on this list. It's cool that you sold that much, but I really don't think your music touched these dudes at all:
Big Mike & Ya Boy - The Fix
Lil Wayne - Da Drought 3
Joe Budden - Mood Muzik 3
Bishop Lamont & Black Milk - CalTroit The Mixtape
Krayzie Bone - The Fixtape
Lean Like A Cholo falls in the same category as Crank Dat and Ay Bay Bay, they're gimmick songs that people will look back at and laugh later on (See: Whoop There It Is, Tootsie Roll etc. etc.)
yeah I agree with this nicca.
who the fuc is tangled thoughts? breakthrough to who? the dubbcnn staff? and how lil eazy get a mention for westcoast single when the nicca didnt get no buzz or radio spins off that shiet. other niccas like bangloose had radio singles playin all thru southern cali stations in the WEST. that meech weels shiet overhyped on this site to cuz they friends with the nicca.
Breakthrough to who? The Dubcnn staff? Why yes... I'm so glad that you were able to realize that this was a list compiled by the Dubcnn staff. Tangled Thoughts had a pretty good year as far as getting their name out there. Virtual unknowns are now making moves working with dudes like B-Real and Damizza. That's breaking through...
That Grey Goose song by Bangloose was not tight. LOL. I don't care if it got spins... it was garbage to me. Lil Eazy's was a better quality track. It's Quality. Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y. Not spins. Not sales. Not any of these little things ya'll are using to plead your case.

Its cool if you gotta opinion.I honestly don't care if you think my music is not tighter than those on that list, much success to those dudes mentioned, but please, don't make it a personal issue.

Who's making it personal? The fact of the matter is, this list was compiled by the Dubcnn staff. We all made a list based on OUR opinion, taste and likes. I personally don't like your music, but I like the music of the people listed, which is why they're listed there. That's all I'm saying. Not a personal attack on you.
-
The list is not only our taste as far as dubcnn staff, you have to consider the impact, succes etc its different things that gotta be takin into consideration.. of course not everybody isgonna be happy.. thats why its so hard to make these lists!
