This topic gets a little played out, but there have been a lot of GREAT albums that came out this year, especially this summer. What are your top 5?
1. R. Kelly - Happy People (Goddamn, what an album concept? Nothing but positive shit for 50 minutes. And yeah, it all sounds similar, but why do anything else when its so damn good?)
2. Hi-C - The Hi-Life Hustle (Hi-C shows how great of a rapper and producer he is. Definitely a much appreciated album during Quik's current abscence from the scene.)
3. 213 - The Hard Way (Its not the album I was expecting, but its definitely tite as fuck. I think if there were no expectations for this album, then a lot more people would feel it. Solid front to back.)
4. Devin The Dude - To Tha X-Treme (Some laid back shit. I love this CD, its just as solid as Devin's other 2 albums.)
5. Knoc-Turn'al - The Way I Am (Another album too many people were excited over and then got disappointed. This is what a West Coast album should sound like nowadays, the only thing that pissed me off is that it was too short)
Honorable mentions:
TQ - Listen
Suga Free - The New Testament

How did I attack you? You said the Masta Ace album was better than Sabac and Ill Bill's combined, I said you probably haven't heard Sabac and Ill Bill albums...Then YOU attacked ME, so don't get it twisted...PeACe
-
^^to each his own i guess...
imo Masta Ace and Kanye West are the 2 best albums of the year, Murs, Mobb Deep and The Roots probably make up my top 5 (so far)...altho one of these will almost def. be gone once Talib Kweli releases The Beautiful Struggle
-
Cormega - Legal Hustle.
Kanye West - College Dropout.
Brand Nubian - Fire in the Hole.
Masta Ace - Long Hot Summer.

HONORABLE MENTION: Devin The Dude - To Tha X-Treme
- NIK only jocks those albums cause he's gotta stick by the jews
- I like the Erick Sermon album too, but it's not in my top five or even ten this year
- If you have Bad Azz, Jadakiss or Knoc-turn'al in your top five you should start listening to more albums
- Cormega's album was ruined by that female rapper
- 2004 is a great year
-

Well i guess that line is aimed at me. How the hell u gonna come up here and tell me to listen to more albums. This year i have probbaly bought 40-50 albums ranging from artists like talib kweli, raekwon, skinnyman (who u prob never heard of) ghostface, tragedy khadfi. jedi mind tricks, bad azz, knocturnal, jadakiss, lif flip royce da 5'9 etc.
I personally think it has been a poor year 4 hip hop with only 2 real descent albums released those been skinnymans and kanye wests.
-
It was directed at anyone who has any of those albums on thier lists because there are many albums that are better, the six I mentioned plus, The Roots, Pete Rock, Ghostface, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Brother Ali, Mobb Deep, Cee-Lo, The UN, Chief Kamachi and probably a couple others. Either you haven't listened to those albums or you have a shitty opinion.
No, I've never heard of Skinnyman.
-
oooo shit i forgot about ghostface, that album was great.
-
Masta Ace- A long hot summer
Royce Da 5'9''- Death is certain
Mobb Deep - Amerikaz nightmare
213 - Hard Way

Cormega - Legal Hustle @ #4 and Kanye @ #5.

Mine wasnt in order.. i was just saying the ones that i rememberd off the top of my head.

- NIK only jocks those albums cause he's gotta stick by the jews
Not true at all...If that were the case, I'd be stickin' up for Beastie Boys and a bunch of other muthafuckaz too...I started listening to Non-Phixion and Necro before I even knew they were Jewish...And as you can see, a lot of people agree with me that it's one of the best of the year...So it's not like I'm just pulling some whack ass albums from this year out my ass, and claiming them to be the best...LOL
-

-
Masta Ace - Long Hot Summer
Kanye West - College Dropout
Murs and 9th Wonder - 3:16
Foreign Exchange - Connected
Five is kinda open, I think any of the albums from Kweli, Mos, De La Soul and Nas may make the five.

Oh yeah i forgot about, bunk, banks and ghostfaces album.
People need to get up on Skinnyman, he is a great talent.
-
The Skinnyman album is heat!!
-
1 Person said Ill Bill, aside from you NIK. 1 Person said Sabac, aside from you NIK. It doesn't look like the entire board is agreeing with you. But, as sure as Jome loves 50, we know NIK loves Necro. No suprise. I knew if he posted in here, those names would come up for sure. To each is own...
Kanye West - College Dropout <-------Safe to say, no album has touched it yet.
Murs - 3:16
Masta Ace - A Hot Long Summer
Outerspace - Blood And Ashes
Those four stand out the most. Right now it's hard to round out the 5, it's been a real good year. A lot of good albums. I also dug the Young Buck, Pitbull, Mobb Deep, Planet Asia, San Quinn, Messy Marv, Visionaries, 2Mex, Crime Mob, and a ton of other albums this year.
-
long hot summer
legal hustle
college dropout
pretty tony
tough love
i dont listen to that nerd rap shit.
-

NAME OUT of your mouth, bitch.
Go stalk E-40 or something, I'm not famous.
-
LOL @ E-40. How often do I bring his name up? Big fan, but not a dickrider. Unlike you with Dre and 50. P.S., don't ruin this thread with your jargon.
-
1. N.E.R.D. - Fly Or Die (Wasnt as good as In Search Of .. but was dope_
2. 213 - The Hard Way (Simply for the fac that i been anticipating this since i heard of snoop)
3. Kanye West - College Dropout (Great production but too many skits.. something fresh in hip hop)
4. Rahsaan Patterson - After Hours (Great neosoul music)
can think of anything else .. nerd was ahead by a mile imo
-
1. devin- to tha xtreme ( dont make albums like this nomore, jus a breath of fresh air)
2.prince -musicology ( tha fonz still has it )
3.cee-lo - the soul machine ( would be number 2..but prince has senority..sugar lo shits on kanye's album..kuz kanye sounded like he was tryin 2 hard be a lyricist..yet cee- lo jus flowed like water with it)
4.ghostface- pretty tony ( didnt get let down on this..was what i expected)
5. method man- the prequel- ( was a better than what i expected..it was pure comedy)

Dude...there are a lot more that have slipped my mind...But I only really give a shit about the Uncle Howie Records crew...I like their music, and it's not like the albums I listed aren't contenders...Seriously, ask most heads, and they'll tell you how ill the Non-Phixion shit is...3 people listed Ill Bill, and 2 listed Sabac, so I can't be far off...PeACe

You and Neap listed Ill Bill. You and Kill listed Sabac. Which means, it's 2 and 2. LOL. I don't think it's the general concensus that Ill Bill and Sabac dropped the best albums this year. You weren't exactly far off, but you weren't very close either. It's coo to dig those cats, fuck it, that's your taste. But, honestly, I really don't know many cats who dig them. And, I keep my ear to the Underground...
Masta Ace, Murs, Ghostface and Kanye so far seem to be the most popular picks in this thread. Rightfully so. Real dope albums.
-
^^ SGV, what's that Theodore Unit CD like? Is anyboldy except Ghost and Trife worth listenin to, cuz from what i heard ghost ain't on all songs
I think Sabac's album was the shit, but in terms of popularity it's logical he can't fuck with Kanye. Ill Bill's album was good, but not one of the best this year IMO. And general consensus is Non-Phixion is dope...actually i have never heard anybody say different, so i dunno why people get at NIK...he ain't hypin up no wack muhfuckas just cuz they jewish

It's pretty good. Could've been better, when compared to other Ghost projects, but still good. In terms of quality, Kanye > Non-Phix. For me, and many others I'm sure, it's not a question. Honestly, only people I see bigging up Non-Phix or Necro are Canibus fans(various Juggalos as well). Maybe I'm not looking at the same places you cats are. But, here in L.A., on the net, etc. I don't see much about them, period.
NIK: Yes, I missed that. Whatever though. I won't destroy your Non-Phixion fantasy world.
