Not the one your looking foward to most..but what album do you think will be the best overall album this upcoming year.. not just Hip Hop but for R and B also...

The Dream's debut album was unreal for pop/ r&b music and he set the bar so high but I really feel like he is making great music right now and he will once again get an album of the year for his genre..


Hip hop side of things I feel like Jay will come with the best piece of work but think Kid Cudi's debut album could be the dark horse pick of the year.

Either BP3 or Lupe Fiasco's next effort

Just remembered... Ryan Montgomery is dropping an album sometime soon. Im hoping that is some good ****!

Am I the only Dream fan? I think dude is ultra talented... writes, co produces and comes out with some of the biggest hits in music today.

not to be mean, but I don't like r & b. Unless its combined with rap, even then its questionable if I'll like it...

I don't even know who's dropping this year. If Detox comes out it'll be the best. I just am a really big fan of Dre's sound. From his voice and presence on the track to his piano loops and sick drims.

Based on the impossibly high quality of "Hell's Winter", I'd say I'd bet on Cage to have the quality-wise, best album of the year. He may only sell 150,000 units, but I'll bet it'll be better than 95% of the higher selling albums this year.

method man should do an album with The Crystal Method.

Sis...i ****s with rnb but not that group. Im listening to a best of Jaheim mixtape right now...do you ****s with him at all? (no homo)

I think Jaheim is alright, but for the last year I've been steadily bumping Raheem Devaughn and Donnell Jones.


Got tickets for the wife and I to go see Jodeci next week. Thats my favorite all time RnB group, as it is my wifes, but we're not overly excited because we bought tickets two years ago to a concert, and they flaked twice.

If it pops off, cool, If not, I wouldn't be surprised.

Meth should stop making albums unless rza produces his ****.ob4cl 2 will be the best album..The q tip album was ill the jedi mind tricks album had the best beats of the year,but jus allah had to ruin the album

R n b is gay..i only listen to old soul

average at best. he has better mixtapes.

3.5/5...i was expectin more from buddens but its still a good cd. His beat selection wasnt really that good on at least 4 or 5 songs. But hes got a 3 or 4 songs on that cd that are real good...pray for me = classic :yes:

hardest **** out this year is linx part II

i don't know how anyone can say what the best is when they havn't dropped yet...

just a thought.

I spit that,
wonder rhymer ****,
me and my conglomerates,
shall remain anonymous,
caught up in the finest ****
get that type of media coverage Obama get
spit that Kurt Vonnegut
that blow your brain Kurt Cobain, that Nirvana ****
who gone bring the game back,
who gone spit that Remo on the train tracks
that gold rope, that 5 finger ring rap
runnin with my same pack
you can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at
life is like a dice game,
one roll could land you in jail or cuttin cake blowin kisses in the rice rain
nice whip nice chain a closet of skulls
the stench is like slave blood at providence hall
yeah, they built my city on top of a grave
***** die, ***** get high, and watch the parade
back then, the early 90’s ‘where they at, where they at, get the gat, get the gat’ was a popular phrase
Bally animals and rugbys was the popular craze
this the vivid memoirs of an obnoxious slave
I paved ways like Nat and Harriot
I blast on Judas Iscariots and peel off in the chariot
I’m sittin pretty spittin flames grippin grain, ain’t a damn thing change

The best album of the year so far, just dropped yesterday. Mr. Lif-I heard it today
