It’s almost 2009 and I haven’t posted my top 10 of this year yet. This week it’s all about my favorite albums. What did you listen to? What did I miss?
1. Santogold - Santogold
What a year, from releasing her nearly perfect debut album to being produced by Kanye West and featured by Jay-Z.
Jay-Z & Santogold - Brooklyn We Go Hard (via The Fader)
2. Benga - Diary Of An Afro Warrior
3. Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak
Singing? Auto-tune? Who cares? He’s a genius.
4. Lil’ Wayne - The Carter 3
He even made T-Pain sound cool. Best rap album 2008. No discussion.
5. The Cool Kids - The Bake Sale
My personal summer record. Riding through the hood with your bike, iPod and hater blockers. Untouchable.
6. Terry Lynn - Kingstonlogic 2.0
7. Flying Lotus - LAFlying Lotus BBC Essential Mix (via New Mixes)
8. Ed Rec, Vol. 3
“Do that stuff that your mama calls smut”
9. Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
10. Roots Manuva - Slime And Reason
