The best 3 records of '05 thus far?

[7 Syns]

As the title states.

I think this year, hip-hop has been dominated by the mainstream more so then last year was. Matter of fact i think this year is thus far Aftermath's/G-Unit year, ive been really impressed with both The Documentry and The Massacre because I never expected anything. Musically they let off a nice vibe, both aren't classics but dope music and thats all ive ever wanted. However the best record of the year thus far, or the one record which has stood out by miles in my eyes is infact an underground LP. One which i already rate classic, maybe the only idiot to do so but it's just so damn ill.

Anyways my top 3, hate it or love it.

3: The Game - The Documentry
2: 50 Cent - The Massacre
1: O.C. - Starchild.

Side note, go pick that O.C. up because it's in my opinion on par with his classic debut "Word... Life". Shit's just banging start to finish. Good production, some jazz incorporated into the beats. Hot rhymes, truth and ordeals. It's a beautiful thing.

peace.

styles p - time is money.... will be one.

As will B.E. by Common which im sure. However neither that or Style's record are officially released yet so they don't include.

peace.

Havent heard the 50 or the Game one yet (not planing on either), but the O.C was cool.
Hardheads album was a dope album. Kinda reminds me of Lil Wayne

Hardhead - Focusing On The Wrong Thing

You could be right 7 Syns but all I listened to yet is Game's album and is something great that came out this year.

Honestly, I can't even listen to The Documentary without being disgusted. Great instrumental album, 10/10, but the most cookie cutter "gangsta" rap lyrics(half of which was name droppin- -).

 

[Valiant Emcee]

The Massacre was absolute trash, I cant believe it's even being considerd, The Documentary was a decent joint (hot beats and fair lyrics). Anyway it's way to early in the year to be talking about the top records of 2005, all the highly anticipated joints are still too come.

out of what has been released, I rate these :

1) Cormega - The Testament
2) Beanie Sigel - The B. Comming
3) The Game - The Documentary


The Papoose mixtape is what I'm bumping right now but I wouldnt class that as an album.

can somebody tell me why you think The Documentary has 'hot beats and fair lyrics' but The Massacre is 'absolute trash'? I don't get it. Are we hearing the same album?

 

[Chronic]

cos most ppl dont think 50s album has 'hot' beats or 'hot' lyrix >>' resemble opinions.

 

[Ay-G]

every mainstream album released so far this year has been garbage.
