    2008- A Great Year For Hip Hop...

    I know the year isn't even done yet but right now August 9th, 2008. I have to say we have had a dope year for hip hop so far. I mean look at the albums we got so far. A dope ****ing Nas album. The crossover hit record from Lil Wayne which broke the barrier and sold over a million in its first week ( first album in music since 2005). A solid 2nd solo LP from Bun B. The Roots came and dropped another good piece of work. Even a Koch Record release of Clipse and the Re Up Gang turned out to be a dope suprise. Those are just a few of the nice records that have dropped so far this year....

    Mixtape wise, we got a stunning effort from DC mc Wale.. (The Mixtape About Nothing) which was ridiclously hot. Add that to Asher Roth's Greenhouse Effect which brought a new talented white mc to our attention. Jaybee "Blood Is The New Black", Izza Kizza ( new Timbaland signed MC) dropped a creative crazy sounding tape, and top those all off with a DJ Drama and Ludacris piece.. it equals a crazy year so far for solid mixtape music.

    The best part is this year is far from done.. on schedule to drop before 2009 are...

    The Game- LAX
    Murs and 9th Wonder- Murs For President
    T.I.- Paper Trail
    Dr. Dre- Detox (we'll see)
    Jay-Z- The Blueprint III
    Eminem- ?

          Don't forget Ice Cube Raw Footage comes out August 19th.

          But still this year is okay not really great. I thought 2006 was a dope year.

          You had Hip Hop is Dead, Doctor's Advocate, Food and Liquor, Kingdom Come, Blue Carpet Treatment, Hell Hath No Fury, and a few other dope albums too.

                    07 and 08 are about the same....

                    07-big doe rehab, american gangster, return of the mac, Style P super gangster, hell rell for the hell of it, Common - Finding forever

                    08-HNIC2, untitled, TOS, Carter 3, Blueprint 3, Detox?


                    2006>>>

                    Fishscale, hip hop is dead, killa season, blood money, busta rhymes-the big **** (slept on), food and liquor, doctors advocate


                    Maybe if raekwon and rakim decide to drop albums by the end of the year, ill agree that it could potentially be a great year for hip hop
