LMAO that vid for “Cold in the D” was probably the funniest thing I’ve seen in ‘08

As for best song, damn Rizoh that’s a tough one..

I love Wayne’s “A Milli,” Nas’ “Queens Get The Money” or “Hero,” Common’s “Inhale,” Wale & Brother Ali “2nd Time Around,” The Roots’ “Rising Down” and Kidz in the Hall “Drivin’ Down The Block” just off the top of my head..

I don’t know if I could choose a fav, I gotta skim my iTunes before I make a decision

2. JaRouge Says:

“Don’t Touch Me” – Busta

Kind of amazed that this track didn’t the burn it deserved. Hot throwback Busta video + absolutely banging beat

3. get em genius Says:

Numerous Joell Ortiz tracks but hmmmm…Best song of 08? To The Top, Term, Saigon & Cass.

4. bada bling Says:

kanye west – love lockdown

kidding of course…..

5. Anonymous Says:

Nas – Hero
Pacewon and Mr.Green – Children Sing

Kidz In The Hall – Love Hangover

6. MoJo Says:

I’d have to say it’s a toss up between:

Jay-Z: History
Kid Cudi: Super Boo
Nas: Hero

7. Swag Diesel Says:

hmmm..

How ’bout Nas ft. Busta Rhymes – Fried Chicken or Cam’ron – Oh no you Did’nt. Maybe Statik Selektah ft. Bun B & Cory Mo – Get Out the Way or Kurupt – Yessir. Pacewon and Mr.Green came out Last year. Perhaps Term & Bun – How we rock. Feeling that 1982 track w/ Lil Fame at this second.

8. Swag Diesel Says:

Cot Damn, I feel Obliged to add these; Ice Cube ft Nas & Scarface – Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It Remix & Q-tip ft. Norah Jones – Life is better.

Rizoh Says:

She said she never fell in love with a superman
Christian, Muslim, Protestant, Lutheran,
I told her that being a mortal is a portal to the true nature of growth; the Christ like Buddha man
That’s why I never spit the traditional garbage of a night fight, bright lights, white ice to the fans
The radio is just a stereo, like a house and a home, a chair is just a chair, ask Luther Van
Go to work; go to church let your dreams die
Bow tie, final call, and a bean pie

10. Mac Dre Says:

Guilty Simpson – Footwork

11. DJ Hen Says:

damn so many, but if your talking about meaning i would go with lil’ wayne’s “tie my hands” robin thicke, nas sly fox is up there also, but theres too many great songs this year to truly name a winner

12. DJ Hen Says:

feat robin thicke*

13. KUSH Says:

Weezy B. – A MILLI

18. ian Says:

C’mon, it’s “A Milli” hands down….

19. Just Says:

I’m sticking to my guns on this one. “The Show” (eMC) is the best of 2008.

Just

20. Just Says:

and further to post 19 above, the “Winds of Change” is a classic. -Sigh, from a purist-

21. seatownsports Says:

Mr. Carter (ft. Jay-Z) by Lil’ Wayne..

22. Mr.IHateRappers Says:

Jay-Z “Go Hard”(Brooklyn).
A real hip-hop record But i’m biased cause almost anything bout Brooklyn i’m gonna say was the best.

That was a good song, but I liked “Dr. Carter” better.

24. Man Dirky Says:

Nas “Black President”

25. esbee Says:

“Born for a Purpose” – Soulbrotha. Undoubtedly. Str8 raw rap.

^and you’re not biased at all.

27. dom corleone Says:

Damn I can’t believe I forgot about “History” – That might be my number 1.. Dope imagery, multi-layered beat from Kanye, and it’s Jigga so you know the flow and sound is on-point

28. Mr.IHateRappers Says:

Damn y’all mention some dope shit. History(i listen to everyday), Dr. Carter(that the little wayne i wanna hear not this other guy running around), Shoot me Down(dope), Super Boo(that shit is just perfect) and Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind(Jay spit his ass off on this shit!)

Yo’ Riz was Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind this year?

Kidz in the hall-Love Hangover

Anything wit Drakes name on it is fire by the way!!

32. djp Says:

Jay Electronica – Exhibit A (Transformations)
