Top 5 albums released in 2009

Kev - Album is good if you're a KP fan, no where near the level of the Offering tho

I disagree entirely. Offering runs on some aggressive, militant sounding beats, whereas 3DT has more of a dark, eerie atmosphere.

I've been listening to both all week, and I prefer the new one. I won't say it's better, only because I feel it's so much of a different approach, beat-wise.

So 3DT is closer to Stained Glass sound wise?

Yeah, but better.

Raekwon-Cuban Linx 2 (I now own an official copy, no more bootleg for me baby!)
Slaughterhouse

(I'm still playing catch up)

However I'm doing a little better for 2010. Distant Relatives and Big Boi are on point. I'll let yall know about Lynch and Royce later.

Royce hasn't dropped in 2k10:(

He was probably referring to Bar Exam 3, which did drop this year.

@ jeff

Yeah...Royce dropped in 2010, with Bar Exam 3...what's the problem?

Naw I finally got Street Hop. I tried to get UGK4Life as well but the store didn't have it.

And Bar Exam 3 did drop this year. I'll have to peep that later.

After further review, the decision has been overruled. I forgot one. Updated list.

Snowgoons - The Trojan Horse
Souls of Mischief - Montezuma's Revenge
OC & AG - Oasis
Critical Madness - Bringing Out The Dead
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

Near Misses:

Royce Da 5'9" - Street Hop
Del The Funky Homosapien & Tame One - Parallel Uni-verses
MC Esoteric - Saving Seamus Ryan

'09 was a very very strong year for good hip-hop music

my top 5 in no particular order are:

OC & AG-Oasis (album of the year IMO)

Grand Puba-Retroactive

Jay-Z-Blueprint 3

UGK-UGK 4 Life

X-Clan-Mainstream Outlawz

Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Eminem - Relapse
Wu-Tang - Chamber Music
Kid CuDi - Man On The Moon: The End of Day
Royce Da 5'9" - Street Hop

6. Raekwon - OB4CL2
