>I started that thread. It's still my album of the year. ;) >I think there was some great R&B/hip-hop music this year, like Common (OK, >we got the release a couple of months late), NERD and I loved Martina Topley >Bird's Quixotic, Les Nubians, and so on. still not feeling outkast or common. i despise the american version of the NERD, i prefer the original electronic recording. erykah badu's record was really great i thought. i didnt really feel much hiphop at all this year. i was looking forward to the jaylib and madvillan releases both of which were underwhelming. the hiphop cat of hte year must be kev brown. his beats are the only ones i even bother listening to at the hiphop record shop i work in. mainstream-wise i always get "right thurr" stuck in my head. i love how much people hate that song. its so fantastic. tommmmmmmmmmmmm ________________________________________________________________ andythepooh.com
