Thanks to my pal Jesper I’ve avoided sleeping on some great releases this year. When listening to the new M.O.P. and Raekwon I can’t help to think 2009 will be remembered as a great year for hip-hop, and as the year when the old dogs reclaimed the scene from the kids.

Some essential rap albums 2009:

Raekwon – “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… Pt II”
Stand out track:  ”Gihad”

M.O.P. – “Foundation”
Stand out tracks: “Crazy” & “Blow The Horns”

Mos Def – “The Ecstatic”
Stand out tracks: “Auditorium” & “Pretty Dancer”

DOOM – “Born like this”
Stand out track: “Absolutely”
