Brave attempt to try and reduce it to 25 tracks. It just shows how ill this year was, i definitely couldn’t distill my fav tracks from this year into a top 25 and i have still got a lot of music to catch up on. I think everyone had different favourites on cuban linx 2, nothing got my head boppin like “10 bricks” for me. Oh and pyrex vision was flawless for its brevity and its execution.

1. Can’t believe NOBODY included Masta Ace & EdO.G.’s “Lil Young” in their lists… Song is a banger!
2. Clipse “Kinda Like A Big Deal” anyone? Kanye’s verse was sick!

This list is on point, personally Sketch’s “Your Mamma Used to Say” has been hitting me in that spot. That Carly Simon sample and lead in at the beginning is classic…

Justin and I merged our list together. Tanya Morgan’s Plan B was my pick from them. I think I had Mircophone or Sound Off from SH and I think I had Double Barrel…I’ll have to check my list.

Overall I agree with this list but…

1. I disagree with some of the Raekwon joints on this list. “Surgical Gloves” is a hot song, but IMO “House of Flying Daggers” was the best track on the album. That Dilla beat was tailor-made to sound like a wu banger. “Broken Safety” is also hot, but Styles’ verse was lackluster (surprising because he is usually on top of his game) and threw off the song IMO. Also… “Catalina” wasn’t included on the list??????

2. No “Double Barrel”? The intensity on that track was ridiculous

3. No “So Damn Down”? Tanya Morgan’s “Brooklynati” was one of the best hip hop releases of ’09 and this was this was a great single off that album (the video was also great).

4. No Slaughterhouse… at all? “Microphone” was lyrically the most impressive thing I’ve heard all year
