He also collaborates with Motown’s best underground spitters to create a soulful pallet full of excellent tracks. I always thought Elzhi was a capable emcee, but “The Preface” takes his game to another level. Unlike, Milk’s “Tronic,” this one is complimented by the smooth, poetic, lyricism of part-time Slum Village member, Elzhi. This album features the excellent production work of Detroit’s own Black Milk–credited with a large majority of the beats. Certain standout tracks, like “Put On” and “My President,” featuring a stellar verse from Nas, make this disc worth copping, even amidst a recession. Some of the production gets a little repetitive but it serves his style well. That is, there are fewer low points than could be found in his previous material. I know I am going to catch some flack for supporting this as one of the best albums of the year, but this adlib slanging rapper dropped his most comprehensive album with “The Recession”. Without further ado, here are my top 10 albums of the year, followed by a few honorable mentions:
Hopefully the year 2009 will bring us some desirable material from the aforementioned artists, as well as a few others to look forward to, including Lupe Fiasco, Joe Budden (slated for February), even Busta Rhymes. There still have been no official releases from mixtape kingpins Papoose (if anyone is watching for him anymore), Wale, Stat Quo and Saigon. The major labels don’t seem to be backing as many efforts as they used to due to lackluster sales in the current economic crisis and new wave of music-stealing technology.
Overall, it seemed like 2008 was more a year of surprises than anything. Standouts include T.I.’s “My Life” The Game’s “My Life” Kardinal Offishall’s “Dangerous” Q-Tip’s “Give Up” and pretty soon you will be hearing Young Jeezy’s “My President” spark the airwaves, which is probably my favorite of all of them. There is some stiff competition for the best single of the year. Sometimes the result is satisfying and sometimes it is just annoying. His freestyle formula results in the crazed rants of a thug with a mind-implanted Thesaurus. I’m not sure if Lil’ Wayne is on angel dust, or what, but the trend is that his lyricism is straying further and further away from logic. I wasn’t too smitten with this part of “Tha Carter” series, either. Lil Wayne’s “ Tha Carter III” is the highest selling rap album of the year (and highest selling album, of any genre, depending on what charts you read). Meanwhile, his Chicagoan cohort Common indicated that he wanted to make an album full of records that will compell his DJ to play them at the club, yet, he too, failed, by creating his worst album. The singing on his latest album is the realization of the notion that these great artists think that they can make anything sound masterful (it kinda reminds me of “ The Love Below“). The synthesized voice popularized by T-Pain is not fitting for a musician that usually makes me smile with his witty bars. Much to my dismay, Kanye West went full out auto-tune on his break from the school-themed quadrilogy with “ 808’s and Heartbreak.” I know he has been going through some traumatic personal issues with the loss of his Mother and dissolution of his engagement but, despite his ego-matching talent, he cannot sing a lick. These “Year In Review” segments are aimed to get to the meat of what you may have missed. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read the thoughts and opinions of our fine writers though, as there are always those gems amongst the barrage of material thrown our way (some of which we throw away). When reflecting on our favorite genre of music, it just seems that each year is worse than the one that proceeded it. Unfortunately, my impression of 2008 is pretty sour. Around this time of year, the writers for make like Skillz and drop our thoughts on the general hip hop scene.
