People moan that music ain’t what it was and nothing is new and fresh anymore. Hopefully the below proves that somewhat wrong. Here’s to more goodness in 2006.
ALBUMS OF THE O5
It’s been about KANO, YOUNG JEEZY, ROLL DEEP, BUN B, SEAN PAUL, MIKE JONES, SLIM THUG, STATIK, RUN THE ROAD 2, JOHN LEGEND, KANYIZZLE, MARIAH CAREY, LINA, KEYSHIA COLE, COMMON, MARY J BLIGE, SAIGON’s Abandoned Nation mixtape, BABY BLUE, EARZ, LIL WAYNE and KLASHNEKOFF’s mixtapes, a totally nutso BAILE FUNK tape Elle Jay played me, the various JUELZ and DIPSET mixtapes, JUELZ SANTANA album proper and of course album of the year, Documentary fromTHE GAME. What an album; from concepts to flow, lyrics to beats Chuck Taylor proved Compton really had just been taking a nap. Not sure that it was this year, but think it might have been – whatever - MIA’s Aruler is ace– the album that is admittedly very art school, but sod it, I like it and I don’t care. I stupidly overlooked Little Brother but thankfully awoke in time to fully appreciate what a great album it is. MISSY’s record was suffered from snooze-syndrome by the masses – c’mon guys, there’s so many tunes on The Cookbook. Slept. On. KEYSHIA COLE also endured some Zeds but that’s cool, she’ll get ‘em with the next record for sure.
