I know its TA , but swamper already made it clear that's it's alright to discuss other genres. So what's good with hip hop lately. The past year about 90% of the releases have been dissapointing. If you guys have any new hip hop videos to share that you think stand out from the rest please do so.
Basically, that's some stuff I've been feeling this year. I know there are tons more. I Feel Like Dying by Weezy is my favorite track of the year, but I know that's not for everyone so I didn't post it.
I'm everywhere I've never been
and better than I've ever been...

Good lookin out for the videos. I've been a Weezy fan since his mixtape days, on point lyricist. You heard when he said "I'm ridin' marked up like the trains in Harlem", He's got skillz, I'm waiting for Raekwon's only built for Cuban Linx part 2 , I hope it gets a release this year. The first one is one of my favorite albums of all time. That Cassidy trak is fire, shit, I never heard that one.

I love how Young Jeezy has samples of himself going "yeaaaaahhh" and "eiiiiiiihhh" in the background. It seems like they are in every song by him.

Dunno about this month but I've really been digging the album from Wisemen. It's called 'Wisemen Approaching'. This artist is a Wu Affiliate it has the typical Wu sound as it is produced mainly by Bronze Nazareth. Has some really nice joints and tight guest appearances from Killah Priest, GZA and Planet Asia. Think it's 2007's best hip hop album so far for me

The second video that was posted is tight. The classic with nas, krs-one, rakim, and kaney. The stuff that Shane posted is what is wrong with rap music imo, over-produced and soulless though that kid in the hallz song was aight.

Nah. Not at all. I don't see how you can say that Lil Wayne song is what's wrong with hip hop. His lyrics are great. Not all hip hop is going to sound like it was produced by Pete Rock or Primo.
