Album of the Year
Kanye West – Graduation It’s not yet 6 months old and Graduation has already aged very well. Despite a couple flaws, it’s easy to upgrade Ye’s third album to classic status. The man may not appeal to everyone, but his tireless and obsessive dedication to his music sets a standard this genre solely needs. Runners Up Jay-Z – American Gangster Brother Ali – The Undisputed Truth Little Brother – Getback Emcee of the Year Andre 3000 (of Outkast) When it came time for us to make a list of the year’s best verses, Andre had 3 different verses listed by damn near everyone (and we only submitted 5). When the man only rapped 7 verses this year and they were all that good, he is doing something right. If he ever decides to start rapping full time again, he’ll shut the game down Runners Up Lupe Fiasco Jay-Z Phonte (of Little Brother) Verse of the Year Andre 3000 on Outkast's "Da Art of Storytellin' pt.4 He was his own toughest competition here, 3 Stacks stole the show with every guest spot he had. But this one – on DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz – put the whole damn album to shame. We can only hope a grown man like Fat Joe heard Dre’s brilliant take on “making it rain” and felt adequately embarrassed by the stupidity and ignorance of it. It’s step yo game up time indeed Runners Up Andre 3000’s verse on "International Player's Anthem" Lupe Fiasco’s verse on "Put You On Game" Jay-Z’s verse on "Ignorant Sh*t" Rookie of the Year Blu After turning down deals from an assortment of labels, including Death Row, Blu seemed to be the perfect complement to the mainstream’s Game, in what Pharcyde was to Snoop. With common man themes, a positive attitude and lethal Exile production, this was the one new voice of 2007 that required no assistance in getting his point across lovely. Runners Up Joell Ortiz Black Milk Rich Boy Produer of the Year Polow Da Don Five years after finding introductory success, Polow Da Don followed Red Hot Lover Tone’s move from mediocre rapper to top-shelf producer. By being the backbone of Rich Boy’s success amidst hits for Young Buck (“Get Buck”) and carried over success from Ludacris and Fergie, this versatile master of the boards brought a sound that couldn’t be pinned down and an energy to Interscope similar to what Just Blaze and Kanye offered Def Jam a half-decade ago . Runners Up Kanye West DJ Toomp Black Milk Movie of the Year American Gangster With a movie so good that Jay-Z had to “un-retire” once again, it’s almost a no-brainer that this “modern day Scarface” took the award home for Movie of the Year. Powerful performances by Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe drove this intense flick to the good praises of both fans and critics alike. It faced stiff competition from the Tarantino/Rodriguez B-movie fest, Grindhouse, but prevailed with its wicked tale about the rise and fall of the notorious Frank Lucas. Runners Up Grindhouse: Planet Terror/Death Proof 300 Smokin' Aces Non Hip-Hop Album of the Year Amy Winehouse - Back to Black Sure, she’s nuttier than a fruitcake but boy can this gal wail. Channeling the 60’s with her awesome voice and biting tales about drugs and love, Back To Black floored the states after finally arriving in 2007. It’s a wonder how Europe kept this girl a secret for so long. She began to earn cool points when The Roots’ ?uestlove endorsed her after hearing Winehouse’s voice on Ghostface’s “You Know I’m No Good” but her talent spread across genres when the album finally arrived. Hopefully she can stay sane long enough to give us more. Runners Up Radiohead - In Rainbows Ne-Yo - Because of You Modest Mouse - We We're Dead Before the Ship Even Sank Most Dissapointing Album of the Year Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams For Wu-Tang fans everywhere, this was as upsetting as it was disappointing. Nobody wanted to believe the words of Raekwon and Ghostface as the public inched towards its first Wu album in years. But when it finally smacked us upside the head with its overbearing mediocrity, there was hardly a Wu fan who could honestly get behind this project. It didn’t help that Ghostface’s Big Doe Rehab was heads and shoulders better than this lump of coal in everyone’s Christmas stocking. Runners Up T.I. – T.I. vs T.I.P. 50 Cent – Curtis Hi-Tek – Hi-Teknology 3 Comeback of the Year UGK After simply being feature mongers for Young Jeezy, T.I., Young Buck and others, Pimp C and Bun B proved that the momentum rightfully carried into album-making. With the hit of their careers, the duo earned new fans 15 years after they started in “International Player’s Anthem.” Although neither Bun or Pimp had ever really faded to earn a comeback, UGK as a unit returned to mean to the masses what the streets had known since Super Tight. Runners Up Talib Kweli Crooked I Pharoahe Monch Worst Trend of the Year Blaming Hip Hop for Everything “[We] missed the part when it stopped being about Imus.” Whether Jena 6, Don Imus’ views or the Virginia Tech shootings, MySpace banner ads weren't the only things trying to assassinate rappers. Much of the media, not only the Right, pointed fingers at rap music for every turn. Even better, Anderson Cooper used Cam’ron as others used Snoop as Hip Hop’s defendants. In numerous failed scapegoat attempts, the truth always came out in the heat of the mic. Runners Up Crank Da Soulja Boy/Batman/Superman/Spider Man/Obama, etc Making It Rain Lil Wayne Guest Appearances Story of the Year Kanye West vs. 50 Cent If you think sales equates a good artist or a good album, you’re sadly mistaken. But that doesn’t mean the showdown of Kanye West and 50 Cent wasn’t a thrilling ride. It was largely 50 who set the tone with his continuous shit talk and most notably his vow to retire if Ye outsold him first week. So to see 50 served a big ass slice of humble pie when he got waxed first week, it was the ultimate pay off – even if 50 doesn’t hang’em up. Runners Up Don Imus Pimp C passing T.I. locked up for guns Slept On Album of the Year Blu & Exile – Below the Heavens There are some albums that are so good that you don’t feel bad sharing the file with friends so they can at least hear what you’ve “stumbled” upon. Below The Heavens was that album. Matching brilliant lyricism from Blu with beautiful production courtesy of Exile, Below The Heavens caught everyone who listened by surprise. We’re still curious how long something this good can stay beneath the radar for long. Hopefully by 2008 the public will stop hitting snooze on this wonderful album. Runners Up Brother Ali – The Undisputed Truth Little Brother – Getback Pharoahe Monch – Desire -hiphopdx

Andre 300 best lyrics 2007
[Andre 3000:] Verse One: So I'm watchin' her fine ass Walked to my bedroom, and thought to myself That's the shape of things to come She said, "Why you in the club, and you don't make it precipitate? You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm" I'm like, "Why? " The world needs sun The hood needs funds There's a war going on and half the battle is guns How dare I throw it on the floor When people are poor So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord? [?] Umbilical attached to a place they can't afford No landscaping, Or window draping This old lady told me, "If I ain't got nothin' good, say nathing" That's why I don't talk much I swear it don't cost much, to pay attention to me I tell like it is, and I tell it how it could be The hood be Requesting my services, Oh don't get nervous it's Step yo game up time, These ain't them same old rhymes Designed to have you dancin' in some club Niggas write to me Woman be up in they tub Expoliating with hey pom poms Yellin' "GO 3000! " I'm in my whatever bumpin' what? A 100 miles in Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Summon Woman Come in Sit down, heard you need some plumbing Done and I'm in A swell mood A rather swoll mood Until she told me that she told (?) That's she'll be back, she's going to the store I didn't know she had a boyfriend, so the door I pointed her too I said, "Call me when ya'll break up I don't fuck nobody bitch" And never only Jacob, know what time it is Nigga just tryin' to live Like a Nigga suppose to live If I still drink that malt liquor I pour that beer On the ground for niggas not around I started out starvin' Now they got me out here Brett Farve'n Try'n to see if I still got it... (got it...) I guess it's like the right thing about it... ('bout it...)

That was simply stupid... Andre 3000 wasn't even a factor in 2007, what the fuck are they talking about? His verse on "International Player's Anthem" was fucking weak, I hated it! The song is awesome, I just wish they wouldn't have had Andre on it.
