I just remembered I don't have a best of last year in hip hop, I don't even know if I could do one if I tried as I have the attention span of a mayfly. Good thing Ira over at Supreme Lameness can and does and did. He hits the nail on the head as well so put eyeballs on his arrangement if you happen to be boom-bap inclined, or would like to get started down beat street.
