I was in Iraq in 03 from Jan-Aug and that Freeway joint got me through that deployment like you wouldn't believe! Glad to see ya'll acknowledged it. But i noticed Joe Budden debut didnt make it. figured it would
ReplyDeleteI salute your service!
ReplyDeleteJoe Budden's album was actually 21 on my list :P
What about Dizzee Rascal Boy In The Corner?
DeleteGood year. Plus Diary Of Alicia Keys for non-rap highlight.
ReplyDeleteSome seriously good music in '03. Maybe the last great year w
e had...
Budden was weak as a whole but some good tracks. Focus!
I know this is an old thread here, but my number 1 is The Last Emperor - Music, Magic, Myth.
