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- ?
