By an Amazon.com customer
Emergency PowersEmergency Powers by Super Chron Flight Brothers
Buy new: $12.98 / Used from: $5.79
This is the third straight year I've put a Backwoodz Studioz (www.backwoodzstudioz.com) production on top of my list. If you aren't keyed in, get on it! Stop Sleeping!
Monster MakerMonster Maker by C Rayz Walz & Sharkey
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $1.37
Where Aesop Rock lacks the feel of an entire album, C Rayz Walz has it in bucket loads. Good album start to finish.
DesireDesire by Pharoahe Monch
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.64
Next to Jay Z, most hit or miss album on the list. But when he gets it, it is gold!
The Big Doe RehabThe Big Doe Rehab by Ghostface Killah
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $2.38
How could this not make it?
None Shall PassNone Shall Pass by Aesop Rock
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.49
Tight album. Can't really get into the whole thing though; great production but no complete feel like his other CDs.
EardrumEardrum by Talib Kweli
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.99
Good album. Talib's better on his bad days than others are on their best.
IrreversibleIrreversible by Grieves
Buy used from: $35.00
Dig the flow and the production is quite interesting. Buy if you dig Atmosphere. If not? then buy something else.
8 Diagrams8 Diagrams by Wu-Tang Clan
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $4.99
Better than the past few outings of this crew. Amazing production! Best produced album of the year.
American GangsterAmerican Gangster by Jay-Z
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.46
Inconsistent at best, but some tracks are just amazing.
Port AuthorityPort Authority by Marco Polo
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $7.49
Good production, some amazing tracks. Kinda like the best Pete Rock albums- good tracks, but no connection between the good tracks.
Ultimate VictoryUltimate Victory by Chamillionaire
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $0.38
I really dig this. So much better than his first album. The south is doing some stuff, give it some time.
