List-orama '08


As the end of the year rapidly approaches it's self-indulgence time for bloggers the world over as we all try to shout loudest about our highs and lows in the hope that someone actually gives a shit what we think. Here's my contribution to that global conversation, limited as it is by my personal spending power.

Top 5 Albums
1. Million Dan - Spektrum
2. Q-Tip - The Renaissance
3. Ill Bill - The Hour of Reprisal
4. EMC- The Show
5. Black Milk - The Tronic
Honorable Mentions: Skreintax - Scene Stealers, Jean Grae - Jeanius

Top 5 Singles
1. Dizze Rascal ft. Calvin Harris - Dance Wiv Me
2. The Cool Kids - Black Mags
3. Cappo and Stylee C - The Unwritten Rule
4. Jake One ft. Freeway & Brother Ali - The Truth
5. Black Milk - Give the Drummer Some

Top 5 Bad Moves of 2008
1. 808s and Heartbreak

2. Auto-Tune
3. Endorsing Barack Obama when you've never used your publicity to speak on issues of importance previously
4. Pointless beef
5. Having decent producers give you their bargain-basement beats for your singles. I'm looking at you Flo Rider.

Top 5 Things That Totally Passed Me By
1. Why Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive
2. Why Kid Cudi is so great
3. Why M.I.A. is allowed on the radio
4. Why tight trousers on men are a good thing
5. Why some American voters appear to know nothing about what they're voting for/against

Top 5 Things That Totally Passed Me By - me too, all of them!

Top 5 Bad Moves of 2008 - first 3 for sure, not sure about 4,5 - they could be my 6 and 7 on the 'Top 5 Things That Totally Passed Me By' list!

Top 5 albums and singles - no.1's - I agree with both! Need to check out some of those other albums properly (the US ones!)
