What’s the Best Rap Album of 2009 (So Far)
Assuming you disagree with Nasir’s early Album of the Year pick, what other hip-hop albums made you all warm and tingly inside. No mixtapes.

Erock Lazron Says: April 21st, 2009 at 5:53 pm K-OS – YES! Really solid old school vibe, smart lyricist. Good shit. That new MF Doom was good too, but not AS good. |

Illmatic620 Says: April 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pm Maybe, Doom. I liked the Brother Ali too. Jadakiss was alright, nothing too special. Budden’s album disappointed me since his Mood Musik trilogy was so good, I somehow expected his LP to be up to that standard. Hopefully Slaughterhouse drops something this year. |

Happyflip Says: April 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pm Ether K’naan – Troubadour or there hasn’t been a really good album that came up, maybe either Lupe’s Lasers might change my mind. |

J to the AAP Says: April 22nd, 2009 at 6:02 am Madlib’s Beat Konducta 5-6 is a highlight for me as well. That might not be considered strictly a HipHop album by everybody though. And it’s been released in two parts on vinyl already in 2008. |

B3N Says: April 22nd, 2009 at 11:05 am // A Lame Poem About 2009’s Best-Yet // I’m sorry, Nastradamus; you can’t see the future 2009’s best ain’t Jada like you allude to Could it be DOOM, K-OS or Ali? Sadly, t’aint the Brother (that’s just an EP) Ah, but what to my wondering eyes did appear? ‘Twas Chapped Lips and Chiclets’ choice for album of the year! Hmm, P.O.S., what a bold, bold submission I agree 100% with homeboy’s decision “Never Better” is like being tossed in a dryer Winning a free soda; shot at wearing Mylar Smacked in the head with a dictionary Playing Wii versus Pictionary The antithesis of the lamest (Which is Kanye West, “Gay Fish”) Jumping turnstiles in Chi Drinking Evian in July It’s hip-hop meets drum ‘n bass Meets crunchy guitars that melt your face Yup, P.O.S., “Never Better,” that’s the ticket Now go ahead and cop it, dig it? |

"got the damn top dropped…" | MYLIFEMYHIPHOP.COM Says: April 28th, 2009 at 1:44 pm [...] does a decent job as a traditional commercial southern rap album, I don’t know how some of these guys could consider this one of the best albums of the year so far but I guess it’s just personal [...] |

Maxie Smalls Says: July 5th, 2009 at 4:12 pm yo its jadakiss……no doubt……and A. He Asther Roth aint shit. He is an embarresment to rap. He makes big and pac and big l and big pun roll over in there graves |
| 50. |
Ice Fang Says: July 28th, 2009 at 11:44 pm I also put P.O.S.’s “Never Better” as the top album of ‘09 to date. There’s nothing comparable to this…by that, I mean I’ve never heard any record that sounds like this cat’s does. |

Reuben Says: August 31st, 2009 at 8:19 pm I think most Def’s album is a great album and its definitely 2nd best album of 2009. You should check out “Holistic”, I believe they have the best hip-hop album of 2009 and they have received nothing but excellent reviews. http://www.holistichiphop.com |
