Its pretty self explanatory. I give it to Common Sense, holding it down for yet another, well done, beautifully written, and amazingly underrated album.

This is too tough. I gave it to Lupe Fiasco for his The Cool, but Kanye's Graduation and Common's Finding Forever are amazing CDs. It's unfortunate that in any Best Hip Hop Album of the 2007 category on any award show, these artists would never compete against one another, though we all know these are the best albums of 2007.

Real Talk. Even though most will disagree with me, I was pretty damn impressed with UGK and Talib as well, but I forgot about adding them before making this poll. |

Seriouslly though, I would definitely have to say Common. I think that he is long overdue the respect that he deserves. I see Lupe as taking on a similar path as his career has. |

I highly suggest people actually take the time to give all the albums on the list a good listen. Deezer and Imeem have most of the tracks if you're just plain cheap.
KanYe's album was solid, as his albums normally are, but Late Registration was beautifully done and College Dropout was just that damn fresh. He has to live up to his own standard. Common's album sounded like an extended version of BE. You could honestly make Finding Forever and BE a double CD and it would have probably went platinum, and still be overlooked and underrated. I'm still going to be partial to Lupe's mixtape game from last year. With tracks like Lupe the Killer, Failure, Jedi Mind Tricks and Switch; Dumb It Down has a lot to live up to. The FNF Army is on the rise, and thats no question. The Cool is definitely worth the buy. Little Brother's Getback is one of the best albums you've never heard, you ol' shuckin' and jivin' niggas! Pooh and Phonte's lyrics are conscious in the sense that they aren't trying to change the world by hitting hiphop heads with biased political discussions (cough, Immortal Technique, cough), but they aren't throwing the bitches and bling at you, either. Its real life shit. Good Clothes, the album's single, is a good indicator of how down to earth the album is. Just make sure you kids get The Listening, The Minstrel Show and the Seperate But Equal mixtape. Jay-Z's American Gangster was a boring version of In My Lifetime. Blue Magic is fire. His lyrics are on point, and they contain the dexterity of his earlier albums, complete with the greasy Marcy flow, but he sounds really bored. Not to mention the beats aren't as good as they could've been. Don't get me wrong, its a hot album, with some outstanding tracks, but given the throwback theme, Kanye should've been been the executive producer. That's just me, though. Talib's Ear Drum just wasn't Reflection Eternal. =\ UGK- Underground Kingz. RIP Pimp C. Love him or hate him, Pimp C held it down. Bun B's legacy as being one of the greatest to come out of the state of Texas has often been overshadowed by Scarface. Nothing against 'Face, but Bun B never really got the shine time he deserved aside from 'Draped Up.' Together, whether you want to admit it or not, due to lack of stoic and politically correct lyrical content, are legends in their own right. Scarface's MADE is decent, much better than the majority of hardcore southern hiphop thats been out for the past 3 years, but The Fix is an all time classic. Thats like Nas' upcoming album being better than Illmatic. Its an unthinkable feat. To any fan familiar with the earlier works of Scarface, I'm sure you can agree. I still give it to Common. |

I downloaded SOOO much this year.
Common's Finding Forever, Kanye's Graduation, Lupe's The Cool, JayZ's American Gangster, and Nujabes. I don't have much of an opinion cause I'm kind of biased towards artists I already generally liked haha. Well, I've always loved albums from Common and all his songs from "Be" so Finding Forever was definitely a favorite. Jay-Z was good, but I never liked listening to his songs so most of them kind of bored me. There were good ones here and there, but in general it was okay. That album got pretty high ratings though. Kanye was good as well, and like someone said, it didn't differ much from his past albums. Lupe's new album was better than his past ones, I think. I definitely enjoyed The Cool. And I downloaded Nujabes which was good, but it was mostly instrumental...which was alright I guess. Good to relax and listen to. Modal Soul and Metaphorical Music was better. I CAN'T CHOOSE. |
