But, I wanted to apologize to Travis for my half hearted effort on his year end list. Travis puts a shit-load of effort into this blog. I know my man spends a ton of his free time trying to make this shit take off. And I look at my poor ass list for year end and it looks like shit to the others that contributed. I did more of a disservice than I did helping out for that year end post. Trav-I apologize for this. I would like a chance to explain myself:
That about sums it up. I look at my list and you know what, it is wack. Ghostface is the only person in 2006 that put out any good music. The Coup to me had a decent CD and Clipse was alright. Some people had a few ok songs and that's it. To be honest I was feeling Timberlake's album second most behind Ghost.
To Trav and all of you, I am not going to apologize for not being excited about current hip-hop. But Travis I am going to apologize for my ass half effort. I don't get any ounce of joy thinking about any of this shit that is out now. To me hip hop sucks right now and I feel like every year that goes by, like sorry ass 2006, it takes us into a deeper hole. I didn't do a big year-end list cause I don't feel like anything deserved my time and/or effort. That list I gave to Trav to post from me is bullshit. I felt like I needed to give him something because he has helped me out with so many albums I have been looking for and he gave me a forum to spout off like this. (but the panties thing was mucho creative, I will give you that!!)
So Trav I am hoping that you too will post your list of Top 100 all time, because people need to rememeber what real hip hop was. If anyone wants any of these songs reply and I will post them up:

It's really weird to me, because I've LOVED this year in music, do you want me to make you a mix or something?
btw, I've never heard 'Live Squad - Heartless', if you'd care to up that.
Pronay, here is Live Squad - Heartless (Full Vocal Mix Blood Drop), its a remix but nice as hell 90's shit:

mde me laugh @ alley al, not gonna commit suicide just sick of all the "Young Dros" and "Young Jocs" thats out there. What happened to A Tribe Called Quest and Showbiz & AG? thats the stuff that is missing now a days........
Ja Rule f. Bobby Brown "Thug Lovin." ?
please re up the comton blockz please
Ja Rule & B Brown - I know I know, i am guilty as charged. I can't explain it, just love that song for some reason.
here is the compton blockz re-up:

And those 2 rap a lot family joints are the shit. They are how a posse cut should be done.
Great list
Definitely smell you on that post B. I couldn't think of 10 really good albums either. I guess maybe some folks' standards are just lower nowadays...
haha young dros & yung jocs..
there's a 20yr old kid @ work, and he likes all that radio stuff, and sometimes he gets me into it- i suppose it's the energy of someone really liking something and being around that..
it just seems like they (the new young rappers) are back to basics (cmon! GREG NICE was sooo simplistic, but we loved it even tho dizzy gillespie played the trumpet NOT the sax!!). that's maybe the most positive thing i can say about it all. i mean, at least that WALK IT OUT joint has got andre 3000 on it.. i also heard 3000 on some rnb song rmx with nas?!?
Brian, no worries my man. Nothin' but love.
Maybe I have an extreme case of "the Mondays" this morning, but even out of my top 20 albums, only maybe the top 6 had me playing them on an consistant basis.
I can deal with the fact shit changes and I can deal with the fact shit isn't going to be like it was....EVER. But when you have people thinking Jeezy is Hip Hop and I have to explain everytime someone asks me what kind of music I listen to that I don't get down with the majority of mainstream hip hop.
True, I do like some mainstream and I'm trying not to give up on the modern stuff, it's hard...
Anyway, my mind isn't focused yet, so I'll stop rambling
thks men! if you have DGSB the album and lil rachett's album please up this please
I feel that way monthly...I play Wild Style and Style Wars alot. I made a new post @ http://poisonousparagraphs.blogspot.com. Check it out.
One.
My man, I noticed that you had this joint, 29. Lil Bastards - Bitch Get a Job, in your Top100 (or 1000, who's countin'); Any way I could get you post that up. I have not heard it in years, and people look at me with the blank stare when I mention it. Peace.
Brother, I feel your pain. It's difficult to hear and see what Hip Hop is going through, especially after living through the years when it really counted. The only consolation is that there does seem to be a vibrant old school community out there, so it may become just like Classic Rock, and live on in that form...
Hi Brian, would be much appreciated if you could upload Lil bastards-Bitch get a job. It's been a while since you made the list but these are all time classics! Much thanks from Norway,
Ludvig
