Late 08....That song with Kanye, Wayne, Jay Z and TI that had the MIA sample was all over the place.


the hype behind Ron Browz due to that "pop champagne" and " Arab Money" songs

The bulk of this stuff was from 2007.

 

[Eza]

G-Side - Starshipz & Rockets
Big K.R.I.T - See Me On Top Vol 2

These two pretty much dominated my fall/winter 08. Couple holdovers from the summer(KD-Playa Prezident, Slim OG-One Foot In) and that was it.

i know you guys keep saying this but in that time and now this rap shyt is what you make it, GZA,Pete Rock, AZ had all put out albums in 08, not to mention i was still buming N.O.R.E and the War Report for no apparent reason. If you were looking for new shyt all the time then i could see your point, but shyt, winter 08 was when 50 put out, what i feel, is his last relevant group of tracks which were shut ya bloodclot mouth, the mechanic, etc

that whole year had interesting moments, like fat joes 300, and even if i dont listen to it, people liked carter 3, again, in todays hip hop where radio means nada, people just make their own playlists

Late 08 is when Obama was 1st elected......Nas and Jeezy did that Lambo is blue song......It was a cool acknowledgment but that song was iight.




Single Ladies by Beyonce was everywhere. Looking back on 08...That was a real sh*tty year for Hip Hop.

it was a weak year. no way around it, even if you stayed away from the stuff you didn't like, as I did.

the sad part is that I would be happy to have a year like 2008 again over 2013.

also, this is just about winter '08: January thru march.

Ah never mind when it said winter 08 I was thinking the end of 08

Ive noticed the confusion here.

I tried to stay away from saying "1st quarter" because some people don't like that.

to me every year has been a weak year since 1998. 1999 was when i eliminated the radio altogether from my rotation. i hated the radio at that point. but 2009 was when most of my favorite rappers stopped releasing stuff, guys who were on top in 96/01/06 etc were being phased out at that point.

hip hop to me since 2009 for me has been like this
