Favorite Joints of '09

Feel free to leave comments on your picks
In no particular order

Favorite Joints of '09

- Deep (Prod. By Black Milk)
Artist: eLZhi

Just a real dope song and production is spot on, eLZhi's lyrics are just sick. The Preface was a great album.



- Rain Drops (feat. Novel)
Artist: Slaughterhouse

The deepest song on their new album, everyone goes hard with the concepts. Plannin' on doin' a review on this to make up for lost time.




- Wu Ohh (New Wu)
[feat. Ghostface Killah & Method Man]

Artist: Raekwon

Crazy debut single off OBFCL2. House of Flying Daggers was the latest leak.



- Auditorium (feat. Slick Rick)
[Prod. By Madlib]
Artist: Mos Def

This and Casa Bey were my favorite songs of The Ecstatic. One of the best albums of the year.




- Beautiful
Artist: Eminem

Favorite song off Relapse, meaningful and passionate with none of that voice accent shit.



- Smile (feat. Twista & Maxwell)

Artist: The Alchemist

Nice underground joint off Chemical Warfare.



That's not everything, but I'll leave it at that so it won't slow down anyone's PC lol.

Late Update

So I've taken a hiatus from the blog, but yea, I don't think many people follow the blog for the blog. Anyways, I picked up Relapse, solid, 7.5-8 I'd give it, and took a listen to Chamber Music produced by RZA, which I'm plannin' to review sooner or later. Also took a run thru The Ecstatic, and now I'm dying for some big joints to drop.

I also put up a Last.fm box above my YouTube link that tells what I'm listenin' to since I'm not too consistent with the video of the day anymore.

Peace, will try to post up later.

NBA Awards '09

Ok, I know this is a hip-hop blog but basketball is also something I love, especially the NBA. I decided to give out season awards for the '08-'09 season a la The Basketball Jones.

Most Improved Player
Devin Harris
Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets. This kid made a huge jump from Dallas to the Atlantic City.
Runner-Up: Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers

Defensive Player of the Year
Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic. Dominating in rebounds and blocks, changes a ton of shots as well.
Runner-Up: Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat

Coach of the Year
Jerry Sloan
Jerry Sloan, Utah Jazz. Has done an amazing job with all those injuries to his star players and it would cap off his HoF selection. I don't care, it should be a lifetime achievement.
Runner-Up: Mike Brown, Cleveland Cavaliers

Sixth Man of the Year
Jason Terry
Jason Terry, Dallas Mavericks. As much as I hate on Jet, he averages around 20 ppg off the bench and has become the second option to the German.
Runner-Up: Nate Robinson, New York Knicks

Rookie of the Year
Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls. A rookie stud, this kid has been a consistent stream of at least 16 ppg, 6ast. He's lead the Bulls from #1 lottery pick to a 7th or 8th spot in the Playoffs, immediate impact.
Runner-Up: O.J. Mayo, Memphis Grizzlies

Executive of the Year
Danny Ferry
Danny Ferry, Cleveland Cavaliers. Brought in the biggest addition, Mo Williams, a perfect complement to LBJ, and retained Joe Smith later in the season. Some geeat moves to reduce the chance of the King leaving in '10.
Runner-Up: Rex Chapman, Denver Nuggets

M.V.P.
LeBron James
LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers. As much as I want Dwyane Wade for MVP (Heat fan), LeBron deserves the MVP, leading the Cavs to their best season ever being the best player in the L.
Runner-Up: Dwyane Wade
3. Chris Paul
4. Dwight Howard
5. Kobe Bryant
