Well I don't know about the rest of you but this summer was pretty cool but also seemed like the longest summer of my life. So besides the bonfires, beers, and friends you hungout with, you might have realized the drought musically we were in this summer. I think the two biggest party songs were, "Ice Cream Paint Job" by Dorrough and "You're A Jerk" by the New Boyz. I do think one of the better songs from this summer was probably "Poke Her Face" by Kid Cudi ft. Kanye & Common. That song is just so cool you forget how degrading it is to women. And anytime you can get girls to sing degrading lyrics its always funny. Another big song, at least to me was "Pretty Girls" by Wale ft. Gucci Mane. I think part of it is the shock that either one would work together. But hands down the biggest song this summer has to be "D.O.A." by Jay-Z. And what is great about that is one of the most popular songs this summer talked about how a genre is horrible right now. I think Blueprint 3 easily has the momentum to be the best selling album this year. But after Jay-Z, what other albums are there to look for? Well Secondly I think Lupe Fiasco's LASERS is something to look for. Lupe seems to get better each time out and I'm sure this album is worth the wait. And plus Lu is so stingy with music everytime its something new I'm happy to hear it. But after Lupe, we have probably the last albums of Class of 09' rappers(and the Heavyweights of the class). First up is Kid Cudi, Cudi easily has the best success so far with Day N' Nite and Poke Her Face. Plus all the music I heard outside of that is really good and innovative. So along with Cudi, I have to put Wale & Drake as the next hottest albums this fall & winter. Even though Wale is one of my favorite rappers I think Drake will outsell him and get more media attention(actually he's already doing that) but Wale is a fighter and I think he may have a dedicated following like Lupe. But I think Drake is the favorite of every girl and every non hip-hop head. I would like to see Wale pull a classic with commercial success out but I've got doubts. Drake is on MTV.com everyday for gosh sake. And plus is the only rapper I know that is not from the hood and starred on a teenage drama to have a huge street following. So those are my favorites this summer musically. Hope the fall doesnt suck lol
