5 Star Albums From 09?

My personal classics (as of right now) from 2009.

Royce Da 5'9"-Street Hop
La Coka Nostra-Brand You Can Trust
Tech N9ne-KOD
Liquid Assassin-Apocolypse
Alex King-Reincarnated

Close, but not quite there (4.5 or so)

Blitz The Ambassador-Stereotype
Guerilla War Tactix-The Invasion
Mast Ace/Edo.G-A&E
OC/AG-Oasis
Sick Jacken-Stray Bullets
RA The Rugged Man-Legendary Classics Vol 1
Tragedy/Trez-Lethal Weapon

Solitary Confinement and UGK 4 Life are 5 stars to me...

I still don't see how ya'll skip over the flaws in SC, but it is a dope record and should have been on my honorable mentions list.

There are no flaws in SC. I co-sign Shaun. And really, there are no flaws on that record. Every song and beat is dope.

I disagree, Life Of Love is not a dope song IMO, but that's cool.

Personal classics from 09:

Raekwon "OB4CL 2"
Diamond District "In The Ruff"
Blaq Poet "Blaqprint"
Slaughterhouse "Self-titled"
Joe Budden "Escape Route"
Tanya Morgan "Brooklynatti"
Tech N9ne "KOD"

This is off the top of my head so i'm probably forgetting some stuff. These aren't all 5 star classics, but they are personal classics.

Lushlife- Cassette City (personal classic, 4.75 stars)

no personal classics or objective 5 star albums

Diamond District dropped a 5 star album, IMO

Myka 9-1969 and Indonesia, other than that everything that year blew chunks

Souls Of Mischief's Montezuma's Revenge is the only album I've got @ 5 stars from 2009.

Slaughterhouse
Blaqprint is personal classic but not quite 5 stars
Street Hop


I don't think any others.

Yeah I've got that at 4.5 stars

Born & Raised has reached personal classic status to me

I don't know if I truly give these 5 stars but they are daam close if not.....

Slaughterhouse
Us

I wouldn't give any album I heard that year a 5. In fact I haven't heard a 5 star album in years.

Water For Mars and Carried Away come close.

The 5 star rating is thrown around wayy too much

Dang Kev I ain't know u were feelin' SH like that...I thought u weren't really feelin' them too boring or something?

The Ecstatic
Let the Children Die
Never Better

I know it's just producers with guest rappers, but Snowgoons' "The Trojan Horse" is 5 stars to me. I can listen to the whole thing from beginning to end without skipping a track. By far my favorite album from 09.

I'd co-sign Montezuma's Revenge also.

Why is it everybody said KOD is a 4.5 star album but no one is mentioning it here?

Also, Wildstyle-That Was Then, This is now and C-Mob-Hard Times & Liquor should have been on my honorable mentions list.

A 4.5 star album is not a 5 star album.

You'd think they'd still get brought up. Also, Eminem-Relapse is still up there for me as well. Don't think I mentioned that one either.

Solitary Confinement is my only 5 star album and/or personal classic. UGK comes close though.
