The funny thing is that when I thought about 2008 before doing this, I wasn't expecting much. It just didn't pop out to me as a year that had many great releases. But to my surprise, the Top 6 in this list are some of my favourite records ever. But for whatever reason I just didn't associate them with this year. Regardless, at #1 I have my first favourite underground Hip Hop album ever. A true life changer for me. Also featuring is what continues to be my favourite
FlyLo release, and several other top tier albums. That made for a difficult ordering process. Overall a nice mix of genres and a list of very high quality in my opinion. Truly one of the better and more consistent years to date in my listening history.
