Best and Worst of the '06

welp i figured i'd go on ahead and do some of the best and worst of the '06...

some of my favorite albums this year....

"Kelis Was Here" -- Kelis: Kelis, by far, is one of the dopest women out there. this album is exemplary of her "who cares" attitude. i really really love it.

"As Cruel as School Children" -- Gym Class Heroes: i love love LOVE this band. their combo of hip-hop and rock really amazes me. and of course, i [heart] the lead vocalist travis :)

"In Search of the N.E.R.D." -- Mickey Factz: now this is not a biased choice lol. this guy is super talented. lyrically and conceptually mickey really puts it down. if ya dont know, now ya know.

"Food and Liqour" -- Lupe Fiasco: even tho his album sales went *kaput*, i still really like this album. lupe is a breath of fresh air forreal, not really caring how you feel about him or what you have to say. hes a great businessman, and he knows what he's talking about. kudos!

"The Evolution of Robin Thicke" -- Robin Thicke: oh where do i begin...this album is simply amazing. i definitely throw it on when im trying to get into a certain mood lol. very soulful cat, a step above justin timberlake lol. i really enjoyed this album.

"IdleWild Soundtrack" -- Outkast: once again, outkast held it down. this album is so versatile, they really just know how to put good stuff together. and any album that has tracks like "hollywood divorce" definitely deserves kudos.

"The King" -- TI: duh. this is a given. this album was really good. and no im not bandwagon hopping lol. i honestly didnt like TI until i saw ATL and thats what made me get his album. i bang it when wanna feel real cool lol.

"Futuresex/Lovesound" -- Justin Timberlake: also, another given. any album that Timbaland produces is hot fiyah. It was just wat i expected from Justin Timberlake. good stuff.

"Continuum" -- John Mayer: i dont care what anyone says, i love john mayer. and continuum is a great album. john mayer delivers...as always. this guy is so spunky, i just wanna hug him lol

"Public Warning" -- Lady Sovereign: this bitch is crazy! but that's why you gotta love her lol. she will spit in your face and just not care. i respect this young woman's g.

"Once Again" -- John Legend: A-MA-ZING...of course, you wouldnt expect anything less from this man. upon first listen, the album kinda had an elevator music feel to it, but i fell in love with it. very sultry, very john. love it love it love it.

and now...some of the worst shit to happen to 2006:
THE FRESH PRINCE HAT: lord why oh why. smh. this hat killed nyc fashion this summer and had the poor misguided youth believing that they were cool. damn shame this hat was. *sigh* to that shit forreal. SEEING BRITNEY SPEARS VAGINA: that shit was just unfortunate as hell. dont know why it happened...or why this broad is going commando to a club knowing the paparazzi loves her ass. i just dont know. im traumatized though. DIDDYS "PRESS PLAY" ALBUM: now some argue with me and tell me this album is not that bad...i dont know what the hell yall are listening to, but i cant stomach it. the album would actually be pretty good...minus diddy. BEING UNIQUE: everyone tried to be different and ended up being the same. no one has their own identity anymore. our generation has yet to define itself, we're just revamping old styles and ways of living. interesting to say the least...
