All of the above rank 4.0 or higher in my book. And 2007 is killing 08 and 09 for me but now I say 2008 is a tad betta than 2009 right now. I still feel '09 has the more wuality quanity overall.

I feel the need to post about this new album I tried out today:

Deep Rooted - "D.E.E.P. R.O.O.T.E.D." (2009)

I actually listened to it 3 times in a row I was feeling it so much (I believe this is their 3rd album). 3-rapper group with an excellent DJ (IMO)...one woman emcee. Great chemistry, unique production....flat out dope. Production by Exile, Rhettmatic, Moka Only...and more. Nice guest spots by Blu & Killah Priest.

As of now, I got it at about 4.25 stars after the first listen. I think it could rise though...

do you guys make lists of your top albums for each year? your just pulling them out like you have them written down lol, its cool though

i used to have playlists of my favorite songs from each year for the past like 7 years 2009-2002, all seperate playlists but i lost them when i reformatted my computer

I have created Listmania's from 1984-2009 on Amazon:

I just refer to those for these types of discussions. I could probably go through at some point and update some of those...mainly the one's in the past 9 years or so.

I downloaded the leak. It is very tight. I got it at 4+ stars at the moment. I'll be picking it up on Tuesday for sure.

^ you think you'll be able to find it in stores?

Considering he lives in MN and he could go to Fifth Element, i don't think he will have a problem.

Yep, I'll pick it up directly from the source - The Rhymesayers' headquarters.

I'm not too sure it will be in all regular stores. I guess it depends on the distribution. Rhymesayers should be getting it in Best Buy, I would hope. Especially considering the high caliber of the guest list...Scarface, Freestyle Fellowship, Slug, Bro Ali, Raekwon, Black Thought...etc. But who the hell knows. They should fucking carry it! lol

Rhymesayers has had like all their CDs at best buy this year for 7.99...

I'm assuming Best Buy will carry it in stock. I hope so cause i missed the boat on the pre-order from Fitth Element. Best Buy has had every Rhymesayers release so far(including Abstract Rude), and i expect them to have this too.
