I love Lupe - his whole album is what all hip-hop should be: meaningful, tight lyrics with social relevance.

It's the best hip hop album I've heard this year. He's such a great lyricist, he's as refreshing to the hip hop scene as Nas was when he released his first album. I also loved that dumb it down track where he exposes the state of hip hop today which is mostly trash. The only other good mainstream hip hop album I've heard in '08 was from the roots.


-edit-

I almost forgot about Common and Talib since their albums were considered more "mainstream" since they both appeared on the US billboards, also great artists keeping the real hip hop sound alive.

The Roots are great too! Second-best act I've ever seen live for sure. Between Lupe, The Roots, Common, and Talib, good hip hop is still alive and well.
