And you honestly thought jay-z's blueprint 3 was better than K'naan's album? you must be smoking dust.
As for Jay's placement on this list: the reason he's up here is due in large part to great production and the magnanimity of the album itself. Even though I consider it a lower-tier album within Jay's catalog, it's still damn good and fun to listen to. Lots of growers on that album. K'naan is great, but his album didn't grab me the same way. I know I'm not alone on this...
Can I make a BOLD Statement and say Rhymesayers Entertainment is single-handedly keeping hip hop on the level?
I dunno, I'm just saying - Slaughterhouse to me was the nest album of the year, and Rakim deserves a top 10 finish. I might even throw Poe Picasso in the mix. What you think?
@tj
There's no way Seventh Seal deserves a top 10 finish, hate to say it but that album was borderline drink coaster-status.
Personally i think Rakim's was better than the likes of Relapse (too much of that fake voice and clowning around), Meth and Red (they could have done better - Blueprint 3 could have been better too), Kid Cudi (over Seventh Seal??), Saigon?
But I guess it boils down to opinion cuz I know some folk who say Young Money album was dope.
generally is a good list..might make my own and feel free to comment

On tracks of the year, i bet we all agree - Exhibit C - Jay Electronica??
You know what I did in protest? I went back and started listening to all the original Wu material and all still holds up. Cuban Links 2 couldn't hold up a plastic bag in a closet. =/
This is my list. There are many like it but this one is mine. My list is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my list is useless. Without my list I am useless. I must post my list true. I must list straighter than other bloggers, who are trying to out-blog me. I must post lists before he posts lists. I will. Before blog I swear this creed: my list and myself are defenders of the internet, we are the masters of our blogosphere, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no internet, but peace. Amen.

BEST list out there...
Slaughterhouse
Cormega - Born and Raised
were my fav albums of 09.
For the 849275842 time, So Far Gone is not an album.
Anyway, I'm glad Truth Is Here EP got mentioned, that ish was dooope. I would have put Cudder a little further down on the list, but it gets style points for silent Sci-Fi movies being played in the back ground during produciton.
Slaughterhouse was pretty good. 21-30 material in my book. Drake's MIXTAPE doesn't belong here. Rick Ross had great production and a couple of catchy tracks. That's it. Overall, also 21-30 material. Tame One wasn't even worth mentioning IMO.
In short, no, this list wasn't rushed.... at all. I've been following hip hop very closely the entire year, pleezbaleevit!

I won't hate. I dig the list alot. All i will say is that i would move Fashawn's album up some and add Skyzoo's album to the list. But no biggie, you got double barrel on the list.
