2007 was a pretty sick year for hip hop, aside from record sales. We got a Common album, a Kanye album, Lupe album, Jay-Z album, Joe Budden mixtape, Talib album, Styles album…So it was a nice year for the music artistically. Though we also got a Soulja Boy album, maybe that balances everything out.

The Best of 2007 is broken down into the following categories; Best Rap Album, Best Mixtape, Best Singles, and Best Rapper. Let me know if I missed anything.

Top 5 Mixtapes:

Weezy put like 1000 mixtapes this year. I couldn’t fit them all into the top 5.

Killa came back with a vengeance (not really). But at least he made his presence felt with this mixtape.

I never knew it was possible to make your mixtape better than your album Hell Reezy proved me wrong this year by dropping Eat A Box of Bullets which completely smashed his debut album For the Hell of It.

This mixtape will go down in history as the mixtape that got the East coast interested in Weezy. Songs like “I feel like dying” and backed by East coast sounding production helped make this mixtape a must have for everyone.

You already know I fell about this mixtape.

Top 10 Singles:

T-Pain’s been on every one’s single this year. Most of them, I can’t stand, this one stands out. Honorable mention to Kanye’s Good Life. Oh yeah and little Chris Brown destroyed the MTV Awards showing he got next.

This is the Bobby Valentino song of ‘07. We’ll have a new thug R&B’er next year.

I didn’t care about this song at first. But after I paid attention to the lyrics I was blown away. Alicia sounds like she’s madly in love on this joint.

Even this video was mad boring. This song is the theme music when you quit your day job (like I did).

I hated on the video for the green screen video (sidebar: So did Jay-Z). But this goes hard.

Who? I know this is not even urban, some white chick from Canada singing muffled folk tunes. I have no clue how I got into listening to her. But I’m feeling this song, her album is good too if you have an open ear.

Even though The Dream is T-Pain repackaged. This song shut down the R&B gangsters.

When I first heard this on Hot 97, cause they were playing this every minute of the day, I was totally blown away. I thought this song alone would sell like 10 times platinum (boy I was I wrong).

Even though Common is one of the most boring rappers, the Kanye production on this is sick. Not sure if it should be #2 song of the year, but what was as good as this? That gay anthem Stronger?

This has to be the best song of 2007. I don’t care what none of you say. This is my joint for 07, even though it came out like two weeks ago. Lupe’s storytelling in ability in this one gives Young Nas a run for his I Gave You Power money.

Top 5 Rap Albums:

Another boring album that I rate. Maybe I’m getting boring.

I know you will agree with this statement: The production on Finding Forever is better than Graduation. Here’s to Common for taking all Kanye’s good beats.

Every year we can accept Hov to make another comeback album, this year was no different. The old man proves he still got it, well still has something.

Even though I’m still listening to this album because I’m not really sure what the hell is going on during most of the tracks. The stuff I do I get is mind blowing. Lupe has taken rap to the starship enterprise on this one.

And the best album of ‘07 goes too…Obviously Kanye’s album takes it after destroying Fifty’s artistic credibility and even beating him on sales in the US. Kanye brought backpack rap to Euro trash.

Best Rapper: Joe Budden
I have ears, I know Weezy killed shit this year. Lil Wayne earned his spot this year featuring on everyone’s song and dropping thousands of mixtapes. However, how many half ass verses did he have? Way too many. Weezy took the most shots and made some great ones, but missed a lot too. So I can’t say he is the best mc of 07, that title goes to none other than Joe Budden.

Joe Budden was quiet for much of ‘07, but was quietly building up one of the greatest street albums ever made (no wonder they call him mouse). Joe Budden’s is the comeback story of ‘07, having left Def Jam and being left for dead, every single verse I’ve heard him spit has been front to back focused. I have no clue how this man is this inspired. Even over sub-par beats, this man still has something to say. If you are not a fan of the new Joe Budden, I suggest you listen to Mood Muzik 2 and than part 3. Still don’t believe listen to this.

What’s Your Top Five?

So today I get a call from my internet service provider saying they are shutting down my internet because I have a “trojan” on my computer (big deal, I have a stack of trojans under my bed). So dude tries to get all technical with me and I was lost, but I think he was just rebel rousing. Anyway, I just told him I run the best hip hop site in the world and need to have “tha innanet” popping otherwise I would lose everything.

So he tells me I just have to install an anti-virus program. I asked him which is the best one, best meaning free. He told me to download some program. So I said okay and then I called him back five minutes later and said I installed it and all the viruses are gone. He said some long ass user agreement speech and I said “yeah yeah whatever” and then he turned the fountain back on. Funny thing was I hadn’t even downloaded that virus killer.

But then after a while, (few hours later), I looked up the program he told me to get (it’s called Cyber Defender) and downloaded it and what the *bleep* do you know I got trojans out the wa-zoo. I never click on any non-sense, how the hell did these things get onto my computer. I looked into it and apparently there are “holes” in your internet browser, particularly in the java script function (I know I’ve lost you), that these computer nerds manipulate to deliver these trojans onto your computer. What they mainly use these trojans to do is access your email address with your service provider to email the whole world free viagra and penis enlargement pills. Bastards!

I downloaded the goods, it cleared up all the viruses, trojans, and spyware chilling on my PC. I’m going to endorse Cyber Defender here and tell everyone to download it and see if your computer has aids. You may be surprised at what you find. Even if you already have an anti-virus program, download this one anyway as I was told by my internet teckie its the best free one out there as it is constantly updated, blah, blah, blah. Get protection.

In 2007 which rapper had the biggest pay day? Duh, Fifty’s stake in Vitamin Water grew by 10 times, when Coca-Cola bought it for 4 billion dollars. Forbes.com has compiled a list of this years biggest celebrity paydays, here’s an excerpt.

Jackson [50 Cent] told Forbes he predicted Coca-Cola would snap up the fledgling company. Sure enough, on June 7, Coca Cola acquired Glacéau for $4.1 billion, netting the rapper $100 million a month before his 31st birthday. That payout earned him the No. 2 slot on the Forbes Celebrity Paydays list.

Fifty better be careful what he says cause that seems like inside information to me. Here’s how much Hov made.

Celebrity-owned businesses proved extremely lucrative last year. Jay-Z banked $82 million (before taxes) when he sold his urban apparel line Rocawear to Iconix Brand Group in a deal topping $204 million.

I love when everyone gets money!

We all saw the video where Raz-B and brother Ricky Romance claims Chris Stokes molested them. Since then a new video suddenly emerged with a distraught Raz-B apologizing for his comments and taking back his allegations of child molestation against Chris Stokes. We even had Omarion and Marques Houston come out with their remarks backing their manager Chris Stokes.

Well today we find out that according to Ricky Romance (the other brother who came forward with allegations of molestation), Raz-B has gone missing and Ricky claims he has not seen his brother for the last two days.

Ricky went on air yesterday with Sacremento’s 103.5 fm and claims that his brother Raz-B was “forced to make that apology”. In fact, Bossip is claiming that they have sources saying that Raz-B was forced to make the apology tape under duress by some paid goons. [sidebar: Wow. I didn’t know there was gangster pedophiles.]

In the radio interview, Ricky states

“I got proof of them calling my phone, begging, calling my phone, begging to make a video to apologize. I ain’t apologizing about a damn thing.”

Listen to the whole interview…Chris Stokes going up north soon time.
