Best Hip-Hop Album Of 2008

[Boston]

if 808, hip hop is dead!

[<Stiiccy>]

Dark Lotus - Opaque Brotherhood

[Boston]

anyone who thinks hip hop is dead, doesn't know shit (not intended at anyone)

I'm throwing that out there

lol, hip hop isn't dead and never will be. but most people, when people say hip hop, they look at mainstream, because they represent the state of it now.. and right now it does suck, well now its actually improving and getting stronger again, but 808 is no where by far top 5 albums of the year.

my choice would be The Last Chair Violinist by SPM. a couple songs were lame but it was still a really good album. every song is catchy basically. even the lame ones.

[Slim Zaddy]

well they are all sucks but i willgo with T.i

[BaZZ]

Shit cant believe i forgot Termanology - Politics As Usual. Was def the best album of 2008, several tracks produced by Premo + wicked lyrics, one of my favorite albums

[Darkblade44431]

Reks : Grey Hairs
Ill Bill : The Hour Of Reprisal
Nas : Untitled
Atmosphere : When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold

That's all i can think of that I liked a lot. And, BLEHHHHHHH at Jedi Mind Tricks, i don't like them..

[Kez]

Honestly the only album i've actually liked this year that i've heard is Uncle B by N-Dubz.

[yoshi]

my fave one and probably the best one would be Cube's album.

[Hadez]

probably doesn't count as a hip hop album, but i'll go ahead and say it.

808's And Heartbreak - Kanye

nas took the year on the official album scene, fuck sales or the catchyness ti has, nas's album was a better hip hop album in all aspects except for the fact ti has the pop culture influence on him.

ti's was dope but not the best. raw footage was a better overall album.


but even though its not an official album, akala's the war mixtape 2 shits on everything else last year, the amount of dope bars and the standard of his lyrics is at the highest i seen on anything at all, not to mention half or more was freestyles his versatility was un-real rapping on classic hip hop to techno to indie beats he tore all of them to shreds, keeping you entertained with every song having killer punchines and sick sick rhyming.

Tech N9ne - Killer

even tho there was some filler material for the double disk, it had soooo many dope songs

808s is a pop album, not rap AT ALL. Justin Timberlake's last album was way more hip hop than heartbreak, so if that counts as a hip hop album then so does chris brown
