Top 10 Rap Releases for November 2008

Friday October 31, 2008
Fall is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons. Besides all the festivities that it brings along, from Halloween to Thanksgiving, it's also the time of the year when we get to see hip-hop bigwigs drop their albums. Get ready for an exciting holiday season, because the release schedule is sizzling with some eagerly anticipated rap albums. I can't wait to find out exactly what Kanye has up his sleeves on 808s & Heartbreak, for instance. Here are 10 albums to check out this November.

How does Kanye get #1??? 808s and Heartbreak is not hip hop, it is pop. He said it himself.

I understand if you’re not interested in Kanye’s new direction, but I’m curious to know if any of you has actually heard the entire album. Did Andre 3000 stop being hip-hop because he barely rapped on The Love Below?

Don’t listen to the haters, Henry, this is a good, informative list. Keep up the great work.

if nas made a pop album and sung on it, thats what it would be. not hip-hop.
pop shouldnt be considered in hip-hop debate.

Henry, you are a mess… “Did Andre 3000 stop being hip-hop because he barely rapped on The Love Below?” … who said anything about Kanye ’stopping being hip-hop’ ??? talking about the album itself champ

what about t-pain ?????

(10) devilish says:

Lebron…t-pain was never, is not, and never will be hip-hop.

November 3, 2008 at 5:54 pm
(11) Peg-Leg says:

Be that as it may, T-Pain’s album is still fire. I heard it all and it sounds great. Same thing with Kanye. The new album isn’t hip hop but it’s still sounding good.

henry do u ever think about doin uk hip hop artists because some make better music than these artists. Like Sway’s album was pretty good iv been bangin it for a month now and still not gettin bored of it. Also check out ‘Wretch 32′ he is best mc lyrcist in the uk. I can tell by your reviews you like pure hip hop i.e lyrisim. Check him out I would like to hear your opinion on uk hip hop and grime. Also henry i saw Dizze rascal last night and killed it. i still think he sold out but he still makes good music.
