May you get all that you asked for! Unless I hate you. In that case, may you not get a muthafuckin thang. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
...but you've probably seen this one already. What's dope about 2 dudes spraying champagne on each other?!!?
Jim Jones - Pop Champagne
So one of my favorite albums ever is ^^^^^^^^^ that one
If you haven't heard it, you need too.
Album version of "Bag Lady">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>your life
Despite what that thing says on the opening, this is not just a remix. This is on the album instead of the joint they playd on the radio. Enjoy.
For those who are M.I.A. and Santogold fans, Diplo produces for them, but this is nothing like most of their stuff. Enjoy.
Not sure how I feel about this one, but figured I'd post it anyway.
Kid Cudi - Superboo
Peep this video via Smoking Section. Shit is hilarious
B.o.B. - “Autotune”

So I just saw Lil Wayne and Ne-Yo get nominated for AOTY @ the Grammy's. I got pissed off, and then I thought about it: I'M DOIN MY LISTS FOR THIS YEAR! (Done in no specific order unless I say so)
WORST ALBUM OF THE YEAR (and why) (only 5 of these):
1. Lil Wayne "The Carter III" - 2 Words: Phone Home
2. Common "Universal Mind Control" - I've never been so disappointed in my life. At first run through I kinda liked it, but when I listened to the whole album, I learned that that shit was buttjuice (yes, buttjuice.) First, Peace love and gap and now, this?!?! Come on, Com. But I can commend him on soundin energized. One thing he did right on this album.
3. Kanye West "808's and Heartbreak" - Okay, Kanye. I get what you're tryin' to do. Listen, you pretentious bastard. You can't be all like "I use the autotune to symbolize heartbreak." Nigga, you used autotune, because you can't sing but wanted wayyyyy too bad to be a pop star. Cut the bullshit, fam. It'd be better if your album didn't suck complete ass.
4. T-Pain "Thr33 Ringz" - Haven't heard it, but I just know
5. Usher "Here I Stand" - Okay, you've had good album after good album after good album. Then you take a hiatus, and come back with this?! I was only somewhat disappointed w/ Jay-Z b/c he did his own thing. It just coulda been better, but you did the same shit every other R&B "singer" is doing. Come on, fam. Step it up.
20 BEST SONGS OF THE YEAR:

MVP OF THE YEAR: PHONTE
1.) Zo! and Tigallo Love The 80's
2.) Foreign Exchange
3.) An insane amount of collabos
He's that dude this yr.
ALSO, for the first time ever, I've had an album which has simultaneously been one of the best AND worst album of the year. That would be...
Illa J "Yancey Boys" - The beats are AMAZING!, but Illa J's not exactly what you would call a lyrical monster. Nearly... I woulda loved to hear Pharcyde (or somebody else!) on a few of those tracks.
Ah! That's done. Can't wait for 2009 to start.
