Hip-Hop

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Like a hedgehog shaking itself awake after the long winter, the part of my brain marked "Liking Hip-Hop" awoke from dormancy over the weekend, and now I want to know what I've been missing out on. Anyone want to fill me in on the best tracks of '06 so far?

ALSO - Now 65 is out in a week or two, so today's Jop poll may be a NOW poll (or may not exist, dependent on how much work I have). We've polled all the songs on it before, obviously.

I assume you've heard the big TI and Chamillionaire and Dem Franchize Boyz tracks?

Lupe Fiasco - Kick Push (and a bunch of other stuff from his album which is pretty excellent)
Remy Ma - Conceited
Rasheeda - Georgia Peach
The Coup - My Favorite Mutiny
JME - Pence
Skream ft Warrior Queen - Check It (this is dubstep really)
Field Mob ft Ciara - So What

also just got the Pitbull album in the post which looks promising.

Assume nothing. Though I've heard Ridin Dirty if thats the Chamillionaire you mean.

yeah that's the one. TI's 'What You Know' and DFB's 'OH I Think They Like Me' were failry early this year.

I've fallen off on hip-hop a bit this year too to be honest.

Oh I forget, obviously, all the hyphy stuff! I haven't heard much but what I have heard is amazing.

Balance - Let The Bass Go
E40 - Da Dummy
Mistah Fab - City Limits

Really want to hear the E40 album.

i loved that E40 one, but is the title correct? couldn't find any info on it when i googled.

I think it is - it doesn't appear to be on the album though...
