2008: A Great Year for Hip-Hop (jazz, rap, rock, albums)

DearJenny · 10-22-2008, 10:29 AM

I've actually enjoyed listening to the rap/hip-hop/r&b stations this year so I'd have to agree.

This also may be caused by my increase in clubbing, but then again the increase in good music could cause that too.

'08s been good to us.

I really dig Kanye's new single Love Lockdown. I hope it'll be on his new album, then I might pick it up. Also, Swagger Like Us is probably the best collab in awhile.

This needed revival dawg.

KanYe's next CD will have Love Lockdown.
The next CD will be ALL autotune.

I didn't get many, but I thought the Roots album is very good. I really like 'criminal' and a couple of others. Also Roots mAnuva

It does him pretty well, but it'll probably be a more RnB album since that's what the autotune is used for. If I'm thinking of the right thing, which is the kind of electric voice.

Yeah, I'm double postin, bitch bitch. D:

I just thought I'd drop Young Jeezy in here. He's one of the few new rappers I like. I'm thinkin about pickin up his debut Thug Motivation 101 and his new one the Recession.

I agree...not to mention R & B too!! It's been a huge hear for Hip Hop's hook makers....like my girl RiRi =)

what are you guys' favorite releases of this year, so far? mine is definitely Webbie's Savage Life 2. the beats are solid, the rhymes and guests are tight, and the production is perfect

what are your favorite singles? Mine is probably "Out Here Grinding," and I can't wait for Ace Hood's debut, which is dropping soon

If you consider Flo Rida, Rock Ross and DJ Kaled putting out records = good year then you need to go back to the computer and listen to something else.

This is just my opinion but I truly think DJ Kaled is one of the biggest pieces of **** in the entire industry. A self loving, talentless oaf.
