Hip-hop album I am looking forward to, since I LOVED their other two: Field Mob. My favorite hip-hop album of the year so far is probably *The Death of a Frequent Flyer* by a Chicago woman/Brother Ali collaborator on the Rhymesayers label named Palm One (for "The Nine," "Macaroni and Cheese," "Rap Star," and "Beat the Drum"), but even that one seems marginal, not to mention sort of undie goody-goody too. Remy Ma "Conceited (There's Something About Remy)" Young Jeezy "Trap Star" (I think this is a single this year) Pitbull featuring Ying Yang Twins Elephant Man and George Kranz "Shake (Remix)" (I think I loaned my copy to my kid or something) Youngbloodz (I like "Presidential" and "Play the Position") The Streets (his dullest album, but tracks 9 and 10 amused me so far) Juvenile (Track 3 through 5 seem pretty good, track 12 seems shitty, track 16 seems unintentionally ridiculous, the rest who the hell knows) Ghostface Killah (I like the Stylistics sample in "Big Girl", which I swear exhibits more vocal personality than Ghostface tends to) Hip-hop albums so far this year that I probably like some stuff on, but either they're too long or I'm too lazy to have sorted through them so far, and every time I play them it feels too much like work, though that may well say as much about me as it does about them:ĭa Musicianz (I think I like "Bust It Wide Open," "Crazy Man," and "Girls I Know" and hate "Til Yo Back Git So" but maybe not)ĭem Franchize Boyz (played about half of this one)Į-40 (I liked a lot of this, but only played it once) yay-pusher no relation to pusha-t push a half a ki on the street my heat in the bushes FUCKA. We move through traffic tote the 'matics bring the package round yo WAY thats why they call me mr. Its by-numbers coke-soldier stuff written out, but Free's voice has this urgency so it sounds pretty impressive and intense: He sounds good with southern dudes, the song with Jody Breeze is champ, with that cool high noon-style western movie guitar, and Freeway does this cool thing with his flow so it's even eighth notes.

I checked the freeway mixtape after you mentioned it to me the other day, its pretty great, short for a mixtape. I like the Juvenile one more than you, i think my favorite usually unmentioned track is the one with Trey Songz.

must have raked some serious cash on his though, going top ten on Koch. albums are really dark and dry to me, which isn't a bad thing per se they don't have any of that shiny classic CM sound, even with Mannie beats, but I like both of them.
