Worst Rap Albums Of 2008 (Closing Comments)
By an Amazon.com customer
Look What You Made MeLook What You Made Me by Yung Berg
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.20
Berg is a joke. His rhymes are a joke. And his full length is exactly like his EP last year (and got his chain snatched). 2 out of 10 stars
Units in the CityUnits in the City by Shawty Lo
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $2.00
Who thought this guy was good enough to release a solo? Awful from beginning to end. 2 out of 10
Self-MadeSelf-Made by Rocko
Buy new: $10.98 / Used from: $0.17
Never have I seen someone with such a boring flow. It's reasons like this why my hometown never receives the respect it deserves. 2 out of 10
Harlem's American Gangster (Explicit Version)Harlem's American Gangster (Explicit Version) by Jim Jones
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $1.22
I don't know whats worst: His godawful rapping, or the fact that he (and Dame Dash) has Jay-Z on his mind. 3 out of 10
iSouljaBoyTellemiSouljaBoyTellem by Soulja Boy Tell'em
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.82
Better than his first album, but thats not saying much. 4 out of 10 stars
My Turn to EatMy Turn to Eat by Big Kuntry King
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $0.72
When Young Dro outshines you on a song, that a sign of wackness. This album only makes T.I. and Atlantic richer, thats it. 4 out of 10 stars
808s & Heartbreak808s & Heartbreak by Kanye West
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $3.60
Kanye tries to become T-Pain's evil twin and fails tremendously. Note to Kanye: Stop singing NOW!! 4 out of 10
Brass KnucklesBrass Knuckles by Nelly
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.75
I mean Nelly was never good as a rapper, but even he said that this was a contract fulfillment for Universal. That might explain how the majority of it is phoned in. 4 out of 10 stars
Still da BaddestStill da Baddest by Trina
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.84
Florida is really in a slump here in '08. Trina was never good, and this album is just terrible. 4 out of 10
Definition of RealDefinition of Real by Plies
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.00
"Bust It Baby" is a funny song, but I'd lie to you if I said this song was good. 5 out of 10
A History of ViolenceA History of Violence by Jedi Mind Tricks
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $5.70
Would I lie to you? Only people loving this are those who hate mainstream rap (admit it). They don't hear that Jus Allah is overrated and bordering garbage. Even Vinnie is falling a bit. Avoid this one if you don't want to be disappointed. 5 out of 10
Mobstability II: Nation BiznessMobstability II: Nation Bizness by Speedknot Mobstaz
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $0.99
Stick with the first one. If you ever heard that, you'll realize how garbage this one is. 5 out of 10 stars
VYP: Voice of the Young PeopleVYP: Voice of the Young People by Lil Mama
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $0.01
Jive didn't drop her? What a suprise, since it took over a year to come out with this. Her flow is good at points, but this album isn't. 5 out of 10
Da RealistDa Realist by Plies
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.87
Two albums in one year full of the same stuff (yet people like Saigon sits on the shelf). Who at Atlanic gave this the green light? 5 out of 10
Million Dollar MouthpieceMillion Dollar Mouthpiece by Yukmouth
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $4.88
Weak lyrics and beats. The Luniz downward spiral continues, as Yukmouth drops this horrible album. 5 out of 10
The RecessionThe Recession by Young Jeezy
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.96
Jeezy follows the same formula as his last two albums, hot beats. He tries to earn more relevance by going political, but many saw right through it. Only 3 good songs here. 5 out of 10
Savage Life 2Savage Life 2 by Webbie
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $4.01
Most people will say this is good, because they only heard the lead single. Don't let them lie to you. 5 out of 10
Mail on SundayMail on Sunday by Flo Rida
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $3.20
The problem is that he lacks variety, as this is another one of those have-every-song-centered-around-your-first-single albums. Hopefully he will learn from that mistake. 6 out of 10
The Greatest Story Ever ToldThe Greatest Story Ever Told by David Banner
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $2.00
David Banner is good, but I felt that this album was just weak compared to his previous few. Only a few songs here worth jamming to. 6 out of 10
Eleventh HourEleventh Hour by Del The Funky Homosapien
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.17
What a complete waste of time! 6 out of 10
D.I.R.T.D.I.R.T. by Heltah Skeltah
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $7.94
Yeah, I'm disappointed too. The rhymes are on point, but without any good beats, you're going to fail. Ruck and Rock knew better than to do this. Still love them though. 6 out of 10
