looking for some more good hip hop to listen to. not looking for any particular categories, just something that people think is worth either paying for or taking the time to download.

i'll go ahead and put a few of my favorites of this past year:
Little Brother - The Listening: All the hype around 9th Wonder is much deserved. Don't forget Phonte and Big Pooh though. Almost like Black Star but more playful, less serious.
Soul Position - 8 Million Stories: RJD2 is God. Blueprint's nice too, though he comes off a bit nasaly on a few tracks. 'Share This' is terrific, easily the album's best.
Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below: This one's probably been covered several times over so I'm just gonna say, TLB beats Speaker, though it's close.
Science Fiction - Walls Don't Exist: Bought it recently and it's pretty good, deserves a few more listens. Instrumental hip hop is blowing up and Science Fiction is up there (below RJ and Shadow though)

anyways, post some of your favs from the past year
