greatest rap album of the year.

[stacks on deck]

2008 was a year of hip-hop. 2008 was lil wayne's year.

lil' wayne was the best hip-hop artist of 2008. his best album of the year was tha carter iii.

the best hip-hop album of the year is tha carter iii.

name any other album, and i'll tell you why it's not as good, and why you need to get real.

[Estranged Reality]

I keep hearing about the Wale: The Mixtape About Nothing from people. (Most of my friends are hipsters.) What do you think of that one?

Supposedly Elaine from Seinfeld even makes an appearance on one of the tracks.

[GNRs00ks]

I do agree, Wayne's album was great.

you can never trust hipsters; they judge what they listen to based on everything other than what it sounds like.

but there are a few good tracks on that one. "the kramer" is probably the best tune out of the bunch. overall, it's a straight mixtape, but mad overated.

definitely not his best work. check

I'm listening to it right now and I actually love it. The first track is him rapping over the Seinfeld theme song. Now I'm on the Roc Boys redo. Doesn't get much better than that. I'll check out your link, though.

I'm disappointed that Jay-Z's album got bumped to next year -- I know he's not as good as he used to be, but American Gangster was a step back in the right direction and I'm looking forward to Blueprint 3. I wasn't a huge fan of the lead single but that doesn't always mean anything.

You didn't like American Gangster?

I Know = awesome.

cheesy, redundant production, disappointing guest sposts, and he's already rapped about the same exact shit a hell of a lot better earlier in his career.

[Marky]

Have Goldie Lookin Chain had an album this year?

Even if not, they'd still win.

Tha Carter III actually got me into hip-hop, not Weezy's best though

da drought 3.

anyone who doesn't like wayne hasn't heard that mixtape.

[estranged 16]

Hell yeah, exactly what I was refurring to

[stacks on deck]

paper trail by TI was pretty damn good

t.i. was best at doing the stereotypical southern hip-hop shit--catchy choruses, big beats, and limited verses.

in paper trail, he's trying to be an actual lyricist, and it's not exactly working. decent album, but not the best of the year. or the best he's ever done.

[jimmyslash]

Compared to the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, NWA, Snoop Dogg, and Public Enemy, this rap SUCKS!!!! Dont get me wrong, there would be one or two artist that are pretty good now, (T.I., Chamillionare... LiL Wayne is definately not one of them ) but its totally a shadow of what rap used to be.

if you're going to steal an argument, make sure it's one that isn't facetious. and it has nothing to do with this thread.

go do some homework or something.

[Nightcrawler]

The Renaissance by Q-tip is pretty good. Haven't heard Waynes album

[december pain]

Yeah, thats probably my favorite.

[Black Monk Time]

Yeah, either that or Tha Carter III is my favourite rap album of the year. Can't choose between the two really.
