i heard a killer mike single (or maybe mixtape cut) i really liked the other day.

Most of the rap albums I liked this year were underachieving mainstream albums that were flawed but enjoyable (Field Mob, Ray Cash, Rhymefest, DJ Khaled, Remy Ma). I'm kind of shocked to realize that The Roots might be my favorite rap album this year, it has their usual problems but it just sounds ridiculously good, production-wise. Def Jam should've had them producing album tracks for all the big 4th quarter releases (if will.i.am can do it, why not ?uestlove). It's a shame that A-list MCs only fuck with the Roots when they're on the Grammys/SNL/Unplugged and not in the studio.

(xpost I've had the Killer Mike thing for a minute and keep putting off listening to it)

i actually really liked the roots album on the first few listens (you're right: it SOUNDS amazing) but i haven't had the urge to play it since the late summer. it also felt like it fell off pretty hard in the final 1/4.

yeah it helps that i just finally picked it up a couple weeks ago so it's fresh in my mind.

chingo bling mextape (if you can find it), pitbull, tego calderon (i say it counts even if it is largely reggaeton), lyrics born, rhymefest (note: i am still as corny as ever)

well i'm terribly fucking fickle when it comes to albums. if it doesn't really grab me in the first three or four spins, it's probably not getting revisited. i'll probably take it home with me this weekend. (philly pride, etc.)

I love Rhymefest, but those beats are snooze city.

I'm gonna hold off saying too much until my Top 25 is finalized, but i can say that the Young Dro is fantastic and his lego-labyrynth flow should be an ATL institution like E-40's is in yay area. He does T.I. better than T.I.!

Also: Pigeon John and P.O.S. made the best two backpack records of the year easy

not bad, but didn't even make the 400-500k that early reports were predicting last week. dude should've never talked about doing a mil in the first week.

xpost re 2006 albums good but not mentioned: AZ, diddy, the game (srsly)

xpost pigeon john over the subtle record? i havent heard POS but i really like the subtle (i know im corny) and pigeon john just didnt impress me.

― max (maxreax), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the subtle is so far away from hip-hop that i didn't even consider it! I don't know what the fuck it really is. It's great though!

Deej - I just got the DJ Quik live cd. It is quite awesome indeed. This: http://www.hiphopsite.com/images/ITEMS/wutangclan-liveonxm.jpg is pretty good too. Not as good as the Quik, but way better than the Rock The Bells '04 one, even if only half the Clan is there.

I listened to the Too Short & Snoop albums too. They're both good, especially Short's. The Snoop is too long and has a few duds but on one listen, it's the best post-Doggystyle Snoop album I've heard. (I haven't heard all of them, so grain of salt, etc.)
