best songs |
| - |
TTC : Dans Le Club
Not out yet, but I've been banging the test press like a madman. This is their best single yet and probably the best single of 2004. Don't sleep. |
| - |
50 Cent : In Da Club
Maybe it came out in 2002? Don't remember. I put it in the list simply cause I have heard the song everywhere I went this year. Haven't seen so much hype in such a long time. |
| - |
David Banner feat. Lil Flip : Like A Pimp
crunkest joint of the year. |
| - |
Bonecrusher : Never Scared
actually this is the crunkest joint of the year. |
| - |
Suga Free : You Gonna Make Me Angry
most slept-on single of the year. Probably the best song this year. |
| - |
Jedi Mind Tricks : Blood In Blood Out
that beat is just genius. Stoupe still got it and Vinnie Paz is crazy. |
| there were many other good singles this year. A good year for singles, not really for albums. |
|

best beats |
| - |
the beats of the singles I just mentioned |
| - |
Kid Rolex : Santa Baby |
| - |
a lot of those gangstafied beats on the Daz album |
| - |
some unreleased JeepJack stuff (the beat to "Sound Hungry" by Oak Lonetree comes to mind). |
|
| · |
best producers |
| not really impressed by one particular beatmaker this year. Many good songs, by many different producers. |
|
| · |
best emcee / lyrics |
| nbviously Ghostface for his pre-album leaked songs. He's still the best. |
|
| · |
favorite artwork |
| -I like the artwork to L Contra Band's "Winter Lives" |
|
| · |
favorite labels |
| - |
Shameless plug: Villa Magica Records is the best new label |
| - |
Respect to Record Company Records, listening to the promo advances, 2004 should be a hot year |
| - |
Institubes is another label that held it down in 2003 |
|
| · |
biggest surprise |
| oh, many things that happened in my life. It keeps surprising me. This is exciting to say the least |
|
| · |
biggest disappointment |
| - |
some people I won't name |
| - |
Dr. Dre. Dude keeps dropping artists, signing some and not doing shit with them and putting out boring beats (aside from his beats on the 50 Cent album). I hope he changes the game with "Detox". |
|
| · |
books I read |
| I haven't had time to read no book in 2003. Lots of magazines and newspapers though |

websites I visited |

foods I ate |
| I ate all kinds of great meals. I discovered Vietnamese food this year. It's no joke. |

|
| · |
things that made me go hmm |
| something I can't talk about. Private business |
|
| · |
things that made me cringe |
| some people lack respect, it's unbelievable. They don't even realize it. It's cool though. I'm sure one day they'll realize how wack they are. |

Ghostface will release the best album of the last 5 years... or will be dropped by Def Jam and "The Pretty Toney Album" will be an unreleased classic forever |
