best rap album of 05

[half]

i can't split blueprint - 1988 and m.i.a. - arular. 1988 is remarkably phresh, phat and totally phunny whilst arular is typically awesome and quite original oh yeah

other deck rap albums:

edan - beauty and the beat
quasimoto - the further adventures of lord quas
common - be

rap is definately on top this year

 

[Sir Doomsday]

Disappointing year so far for hip-hop/rap albums imo but these are my fav so far for '05

Geto Boys - Foundation
The Game - The Documentary
Pimp C - Sweet James Jones Stories
Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Business

black eyed peas lol

 

[Godz Illa]

What have the Black Eyed Peas and Mark Riddell got in common?
They were good before they sold out

The Peas album is sludge; the worst album they've ever made by far, and must be close to the worst of the year. It features Jack Johnson ffs. Jack Johnson!

please godz, riddell didn't sell out. saints phunked with his heart

Common's album was pure DOPENESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, in the words of DJ Premier...NONE OF THE EMCEES OUT THERE ARE SAYIN MUCH!

Tourettes from NZ dropped a dope album, The Misadventures Of Johnny Favourite. Other than that, nothin really grabbed my attention. Canibus' album Mind Control sucks, maybe Immortal tech can pick our hopes up...

50's album goes alright

What do you expect from someone with no talent, you cant expect to much from a guy who's rhymes sound like a 12 year old wrote them...for real Fifty has the flow of an old carpet, lyrics are about as complex as a Basic Facts test, his album is full of candy-ass bubblegum beats..."The Candy Shop" alright lol

 

[shadow grinder]

50's album goes alright

that posers crap is all the same.

The best rap albums are the ones that don't get made.

The best rap albums are the ones that don't get made.

Then they're not albums then are they, they're ideas...so there cant be a rap album without one being made...therefore how can you have something thats "the best" but wont ever exist...sounds like you're on the verge of creating your own religion there bro...

 

[Eskimo Sharkie]

The best rap albums are used as drink coasters.

Btw I also liked Common's cd. Cee-Lo's album was released last year, but I bought it at the start of this year so it qualifies for my best of 05 selection. But my favourite this year is probably Lyrics Born - Same Sh*t Different Day. It's all remixes of the songs from his Later That Day album, but I find the remix set is better and more inventive.

the soul machine's album is a phunky experience fo sho. definately in my top 100 albums of 04
