We don't include R&B in the hip-hop forum?

The hip-hop channels I listen to play artists like Beyonce, Mary J., Alicia Keys, etc.

If we're only talking rap, I vote for The Roots: Game Theory

We don't include R&B in the hip-hop forum?

Well, it's 2 different kinds of music...lol

What would you consider the best hip hop album of the year?

R&B and Hip Hop count for me.

The Game- Doctor's Advocate. California Vacation is in my top 5 songs of this year.


My other choices would include:

Young Jeezy- The Inspiration (I don't care what anyone says this album is nice)
Nas- Hip Hop Is Dead (very nice album)
Ray Cash- Cash On Delivery (another nice album)

bronze nazereth - the great migration

If we are including R&B then Ne-Yo is my pick. I think Food and Liquor is the best Hip Hop album put out that I have heard.

Runners Up:

The Shining - J Dilla
Hi Teknology 2 - Hi Tek
Hip Hop is Dead - Nas
Big Bang - Busta
4:21 - Method Man
Cash On Delivery - Ray Cash

I just didnt see the hype in it. A few hot tracks, a few terrible ones. Just my opinion...

I mean Mr. Me Too and Trill are both fire. Wamp Wamp is good. There might have been another track or two that was good. Other than that nothing I liked. When I say overrated I mean the fact that its getting near perfect reviews everywhere. Havent seen a bad one yet.

Thats because it is an amazing album. Having the Neptunes match a style of production that is perfect for The Clipse is not only hard to do but rare to come upon in todays world of music. The production is out of this world, their rhymes are unmatched this year when it comes to the cleverness and slick style they bring to the album. They have crushed Lord Willin their debut by a mile and just changed the sound of Neptunes productions in the process.

It has to be the roots game theory. They brought it back with real hiphop. Theres only one track on there i dont like.

hell hath no fury continues to get overrated...

I agree, I thought most of it was pap. Lord Willin' is one of my favourite albums, but HHNF doesn't eve come close IMO.

Clipse's album is pathetic. Zero bangers. It's all good lyrics and nothing else.

I have yet to hear Nas...I will go with The Game!

I'll have to go with Food and Liquor. Some of his tracks are very meaningful. Like American Terrorist and He Say She Say. I like Hip Hop is Dead too though.

Thank god, I'm not the only one who thinks this....except...I don't think they crushed Lord Willin.

Both HHNF and Lord Willin are two albums that I can pop in and never skip a track.

The Roots - Game Theory

This has been a 1 horse race for me since this album came out. Others this year have had their moments and such but I think it clearly stands out as the best hiphop album this year.

The runners up would be: Fishscale
Hip Hop Is Dead
The Big Bang

'Crushed' Lord Willin'?

You're joking, right?
