    Still Anticipating:

    Scarface-Emeritus
     
  2. Thats an impressive list, I havn't even heard of half of those albums. but i can only do a top 5.

    1. Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons...
    2. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III

    3. The Game - L.A.X.
    4. Nas - Untitled
    5. Three 6 Mafia - Last 2 Walk

    The first two on my list are on a way higher level then the last three.
     
  3. I cannot state a single quality rap album that came out in 08.... sad....
     
  4. Out of the thousands of rap artists, I'm sure you could find plenty to cater to your tastes. Sure mainstream rap was terrible this year, but check out a few of the names you don't know from taRavage23, he's got a solid list.
     
  5. Kanye's album that comes out next week is really really really really good....
     
  6. no particular order
    1. game - lax
    2. wayne - c3
    3. nas - untitled
    4. kanye - 808's...(kanye the only dude i dont mind who uses the vocoder)
    5. ti - paper trail
    6. prodigy - hnic 2

    really all the albums i could think of lol
     
  7. Nas - untitled
    GZA - Pro Tools
    RZA - Digi Snacks
    Ghostface Killah - Big Doe Rehab
     
  8. guys we all know what the nas album is really called. anyways i would go with looptroop rockers. havent really heard full albums just searching the underground,ya get me?
     
  9. Killer Mike's new album was pretty awesome, as was the new Atmosphere album (although it wasn't quite on par with what they usually make)
     
  10. I'm going to have to disagree. The vocoder makes him sound like every other mersh artist. College Dropout is his only solid album IMO.
     
  11. yo fuck all the other shit but Jeanius by Jean Grae saw proper release this year even though its been leaked for a long while...production by 9th wonder, shit is pretty ill
    Can't really name anything else...
     
  12. really?:confused::confused::confused:

    I'd agree with that. I'm a Kanye fan, but that's the only album I really listen to, it's pretty tight.

    Did anyone else like Hell Rell's new album? I thought it was good, not big on Dipset, but Rell is pretty good imo.
     
  14. 1. Ludacris - Theater of the Mind
    2. Nas - Untitled
    3. The Game - LAX
    4. 9th Wonder & Buckshot - The Formula
    5. Young Jeezy - The Recession
    6. AZ - Undeniable
    7. T.I. - Paper Trail
    8. MURS - MURS for President
    9. Devin the Dude - Landing Gear
    10. Ice Cube - Raw Footage
     
  15. Kanye's first three albums owned and his new one sucks. The synchronizer kills every artist that uses it.
     
  16. yes, true, but I heard Kanye is coming out with another cd soon that is all rapping and none of that stupid effect
     

  17. ...for you, there's been a good amount of quality shit to release this year...what from the list i posted have you actually listened to.
     
  18. Its been on my ipod for months, just haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. Ive heard nothing but good things though. Shorty has bars for days, there's no denying that.

    You sir, get props instantly for having One Be Lo in your avy
     
  19. K-Rino - Triple Darkness, Vol. 2: The Lyrics is the best rap CD I've ever heard and it came out this year
     
  20. this man speaks the truth. Graduation is probably my favorite album of his though.
    His new album is a disgrace.

    1. Lil Wayne- C3
    2. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien- The Eleventh Hour
    3. Ludacris- Theater of the Mind
    4. Three 6 Mafia- Last 2 Walk
    5. Immortal Technique- 3rd World

    before you say something about C3 being number 1. Yes its overrated. yes its way over hyped. but that shit was a solid album.:smoking:
