Hasn't been the most classic of year's for Hip Hop albums, but this is what i believe has been the better releases of 08**...

  • elzhi - the preface
  • emc - the show
  • nas - untitled
  • cyne - starship utopia & pretty dark things
  • devin the dude - landing gear
  • q-tip - the renaissance
  • gza - pro tools
  • buckshot & 9th wonder - the formula
  • torae - daily conversation
  • kool g rap - half a clip
  • immortal technique - the third world
  • the roots - rising down
  • jean grae & 9th wonder - jeanius (official)
  • black milk - tronic
  • EPMD - we mean business

Not Hip Hop, but worth a mention;
  • al green - lay it down
  • portishead - third
  • erykah badu - new amerykah part 1
  • flying lotus - los angeles
  • afta1 - afterthoughts vol.1
  • mogwai - the hawk is howling






** not including Common's - Universal Mind Control which gets my vote for 'most offensive rap album of 08'
