The Washington Post Calls Flipsyde's We the People 'The Best Hip Hop Album" of The Year


"Flipsyde: "We the People" (Cherrytree/Interscope) . The year's best hip-hop album ... a combination of live instruments, political commentary, introspection and catchy melodies take the Roots formula a step further."

it's definately top 10 material... maybe even top 5.

but it's not a pure rap-album... it's a melting pot of genres... i love it.

Well, it's certainly in my top 5 of 2005, but I wouldn't call it a pure "Hip-Hop" album. It's a mix of Hip-Hop & "Latin Rock". I wish more artists would make an album with the same quality material instead of just sticking to the same method always: a club banger, famous guest appearances and famous producers just to grab the people's attention.

I first heard Flipsyde at Snoop & Game's concerts and I was really impressed. But back in February there album wasn't out yet, so as soon as it got released I scooped it up. Must've had the most spins along with The Documentary this year...

The lyrical content of the album is tight, simple as that.

Oh by the way: their song "Someday" has been chosen to be the theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympics! Now that's what I call "doin' it big" 8)

Since when do we read papers to find out what's good and what's not in this wonderful world called Hip Hop? I thought Flipsyde sucked. That's just my opinion tho.
