brother ali – us

boss of all bosses and padded room…

DJ Quick & Kurupt – BlaQKout

Mos Def- The Ecstatic though I only listened to the Brother Ali a few times and OB4CL 2 is great.

WAIT YOU BASTARDS FOR DISTANT RELATIVES TO DROOPPPP!…that’s #1 no fucking doubt

but for now Brother Ali-Us, and OB4CL2 had a good run

kid cudi – man on the moon the end of day

Slaughterhouse – Slaughterhouse
Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2

so far, its gotta be ali. I’m still waiting on Felt 3: a tribute to Rosie Perez from slug and Murs though.

OB4CL2

slaughterhouse

OB4CL2 or Us.

OB4CL2 or Us.

…………….

agree with that but I gotta say that Kid Cudi’s album was my fav

imma say it was a mixtape and imma go with j. cole then clipse (last year i kno) maybe the ecstatic thats rap gospel right there

Only listened to US once, but I vote for it.

I really need to get that Brother Ali album now!

As far as what I’ve heard, my top 3 are: OB4CL2, K’NAAN, and Slaughterhouse

Please don’t sleep on K’NAAN. I think that Troubadour is a special sort of album.

What are your favorites Rizoh?

Black Eyed Peas – The END

Curren$y This Ain’t No Mixtape or Kid Cudi Man on the Moon.

doom – born like this

@Rizoh

I sure hope that’s a joke, because if it isn’t then I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

Brother Ali – Us and Rae’s Purple Tape 2….both are too good to have just 1

you know what though…Grouch & Eligh’s joint “say g&e” was really good and i listen to that more then the above two.

Looks like I pretty much called it.

DOOM – Born like this
Tanya Morgan – Brooklynati
Mos Def – The Ecstatic
The Slaughterhouse

haven’t bought Us yet, but Brother Ali is always a cut above the rest.

The Ecstatic, no question.
Let’s face it, we were ALL hoping this would have be “The Blueprint 3″ right?

Definitely gotta be Slaughterhouse or Cuban Linx II. The only albums on deck that MAY top it are Relapse 2, Till The Casket Drops or Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers.

DOOM – Born Like This

Slaughterhouse, with OBFCL2 and Ecstatic running not too far behind.

Mos Def
K-OS
Raekwon

U-God
Doom

Brother Ali – Us is the best

but Raekwon and Hilltop Hoods are close

[...] first time I’ve seen it posed this year…What’s the best hip-hop album of 2009? Go weigh [...]

Doom
Brother Ali
Raekwon
Mos Def

J Dilla

.. Off the top of the dome.

Rick Ross > all other rap albums

1. Rick Ross shit was tight
2. Mos Def – The Ecstatic
3. Quik & Kurupt – BlaQKout

Blueprint fo sho

Relapse
Slaughterhouse
The Blueprint 3

I peed my pants from laughter at these Slaughterhouse picks…that album is garbage. I would go with any of Rae, Jay, Mos, Kid Cudi, Mayer Hawthorne, BLK JKS, or Q-Tip right now.

U-God? Maybe I’ll pick that up.
OB4CL2 is really good. But the M.O.P – Foundation is good one also.

Creates an Ecstatic and there you have it.

k-os – Yes!
K’naan – Troubador
Mos Def – The Ecstatic

Slaughterhouse, followed by kid cudi- man on the moon

Ali is hot. BK-One and Felt will be ill. But the best so far is still P.O.S. He’s incredibly innovative, and I lovelovelove those grungy, chunky punk-/drum ‘n bass-inspired grooves!

Toki Wright-A Different Mirror
Brother Ali-US
OBFCLII
DOOM-Born Like This
Dub Fx-Everythinks A Ripple
Dilla
Mos Def

Lookin’ 4ward 2 Kimbo Price and Mic Tyson

ob4cl II

ROSS said slaughterhouse was garbage??..kids deaf

beats are entirely generic…only royce has versatility…they try to do the same thing on each track, and the result is monotonous…its like a mixtape, which are 99% awful…plus, they are the worst live act i have ever seen…and that doesnt help their cause.

Gotta be Brother Ali – Us. Feels like the man poured his soul into that one. OB4CL2 is next. Mos Def and DOOM are up there too, but you gotta give it to Ali.

I’m really feeling Us, OB4CL2, The Ecstatic and Man On The Moon, but Cudi’s isn’t on the same level (yet). OB4CL2 is so much more than I expected to hear from the (aging) Wu-Tang camp, but it comes down to Ali and Mos for me. I need some more listening time with Ali to fall on one side or the other.

Mos Def
Grouch & Eligh

Haven’t heard the new Brother Ali yet though.

RELAPSE MOTHERFUCKERS
