Todd's Top 10 CD's of 2005, So Far...
| I originally planned on dropping a 'Top 10 CD's of 2005 So Far..." every quarter. But totally forgot until EJ hipped me to JT dropping his "10 after 6" last week. So after conversing with the Music Gods, here's my Top 10 CD's of 2005: Q2
|
|
 |
Various Artists - "Galactic Soul" Want to sample the best of the recent BBE Music library? Check out this compilation. Jazzy Jeff, Will.I.Am, Roy Ayers, J Dilla, DJ Spinna, Ali Shaheed Muhhamad, Cee-Lo... Nuff Said Standout Tracks: "Swing By My Way", "Living Again" |
 |
Platinum Pied Pipers - "Triple P " Between my boys EJ and Charlie, I had to check out the PPP. I wasn't that interested at first. But after the first few cuts, I was hooked. These cats are gonna be huge. Remember the name, y'all. Standout Tracks: "After The Worries", "I Got You" |
 |
Big Pooh - "Sleepers" I wasn't expecting much from this one. But Pooh proved h could role, sans his partner in rhyme, Phonte. And of course help from 9th Wonder, Nicolay and Khrysis doesn't hurt. Standout Tracks: "The Jungle", "Every Block" |
 |
Sean Price - "Monkey Barz" Formerly one half of the super-group Heltah Skeltah, Sean "Ruck" Price was one of the brightest stars in the Boot camp clique. Now he gets the chance to shine, with swome well needed assistance from 9th Wonder. Standout Tracks: "Peep My Words", "Onion Head" |
 |
D'Nell - "1st Magic " I use to thing there was always this element in D'Nell songs that 'just weren't right'. But then i realized that's what they call being 'unique'. I love this CD. Standout Tracks: "Standing In A Crowd", "Different Day" |
 |
Quasimoto - "The Further Adventues of Lord Quas" The fact that Madlib has at least a half dozen alter-egos isn't the freaky. What's freaky is their all DOPE!!! So when he dropped the latest Quasi joint, you knew it was gonna the product. Nobody drop beats the way 'Lib does. Nobody... Standout Tracks: "Greenry", "Closer" |
 |
Common - "Be" When my man dropped 'Electric Circus', I gave up on him. He strayed from the path! Then, Then somehow he found Kanye West and J Dilla and got the Eye of The Tiger back! Now the boy is back on the block, bitches! Don't call it a comeback... Standout Tracks: "Be", "The Corner" |
 |
Floyd The Locsmif - "Divine Dezignz #1: Discovery" The Locsmif is on lock. This is one of those CD's that you play from start to finish. This is the type of dope sh!t you can throw on in the background and just vibe. Standout Tracks: "Still Luv'Huh...", "Space'N Time", |
 |
Buckshot (featuring 9th Wonder) - "Chemistry" Buckshot!!!! 9th Wonder?!? Boot Camp meets Justus League?!? In-freakin'-credible! Throw in some guest appearences from both campes, and you got the underground banger of the summer! How many emcees must get... Standout Tracks: "U Wondering", "Ain’t No Comparison" |
 |
Symbolyc One & ILLmind - "Art Of One Mind" You know when you're the new sh!t? When you can get guest stars like Strange Fruit Project, Little Brother, Darien Brockington, El Da Sensei and The Procussions. Need I say more? Nope. Stop trippin'. Go buy the CD. Standout Tracks: "Right Here", "Night Like This" |
