I'm liking this long titles trend I've got going for 2 posts here. I think I might use it as a gimmick.
Please note that I only listen to public radio and do not discuss rap music with people very often. I also have a limited knowledge of the genre. (Hence the title, A List of the Best Rap Albums of 2009 By Someone Who Should Not Be Doing a List of the Best Rap Albums of 2009.) I also have no idea how popular this music actually is (other than the Jay-Z album, of course).
So here we go.
5. Jay-Z - The Blueprint
4. Clipse - Til The Casket Drops
3. Raekwon - Only Built for Cuban Linx Part II
2. Mos Def - Estatic
1. DOOM - Born Like This
