That's a pretty bold statement considering amazing albums like The Cool, Ear Drum, Desire, American Gangster, Graduation & Ultimate Victory all dropped this year.

That's...... a bit much. Both had good albums, though.

Lupe Fiasco & Lil Wayne are overrated.

**** it, I said it.


Lil Wayne. Correct. Fiasco.. Not even close. If anything, he's underrated.

"+Pimps see/C+ the wings on the +underground king+
Who's also Klingon
To infinity and beyond
Something really stinks, but I Sphinx like Leon
Or lying in the desert
I'm flying on pegasus you're flying on the pheasant
Rider of the white powder, picker of the fire flowers, spit hot fire like Dylon on Chappelle's skit"

So many layers to that, it's ridiculous.

Song Of The Year: Poet Laureate infinity - Canibus..... 1000 bars = impressive, even if most, if not all of it was nonsense.

Verse Of The Year: "When I pop you with the tool, catch a slug from a nerd
That's my word to my mother
You act stupid duke I'm hurtin your mother like "WHAT *****~!"
Commence to smackin her face like a pimp
Then put the old ***** back in her place
The beat is smooth, the rap is hard
Just the way I like it bless the mic of the God
It's violent" - Sean Price - Violent....nothing made me laugh harder in rap, that counts for something.


Line Of The Year: "I cordially invite you to come take a ride in my thoughts
Switch memory lanes while we dreamin, wanderin
And in return I'll strip my inhibitions
And go skinny dipping in your stream of consciousness" Phonte on cunninlynguists- "Yellow Lines"

Collab Of The Year: Ghostface, Method Man and Raekwon - Yolanda's House

Beat Of The Year: Rushing Elephants - The Rza

Concept Of The Year: "when the gun draws" - Pharoahe Monch

Ironically, for an album so praised on this forum, this is actually slept on, in terms of just straight up concepts. Good call.
