In 2006, we saw power plays between the North and South. We got headlines from thirtysomething vets and twentysomething young lions. Jay-Z came back and even did business with Nas. God's Son said hip-hop was dead. Some said the G-Unit fell off. The magic word of the year was "Bawwwwllllin'!" and a lot of records didn't perform at retail the way record companies had hoped they would. The year was crazy, but here are six acts that had it poppin' so hard that the streets and the mainstream had to pay attention.

Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne Hands down, Weezy F was the most consistent and prolific MC on the mic this year. He was inexhaustible, showing versatility and dumbing out on gritty guest appearances from Fat Joe's "The Profit" to "TRL"-caliber hits like Lloyd's "You." Commercially, his album Tha Carter, Vol. 2 (released in late 2005) went platinum
