David Banner & 9th Wonder

I have had this track for a while, but I just saw the video over the weekend. This collaboration deserves real attention.

Jay-Z

There is probably some cool story about why Jay-Z's verse was not on the original song, but I just find it amusing to hear Jay-Z on a song with an autotune hook. That said this is one of my favorite beats from lat year.

Lupe Fiasco feat. Bruno Mars

I love when shit like this comes out. Apparently "Nothing On You was a Bruno Mars song that his people wanted somebody to rap on. Lupe laid it down, but B.O.B.'s people cut those checks a little quicker. I like both versions. Check it out and judge for yourself.

The Roots feat Musiq Soulchild

I ripped this right off of the CD single from my personal stash.

A Personal Classic

I know a lot of people stopped effing with 50 after the trash that was Curtis, but his last record was actually pretty good. This track is may have been the hardest songs of 2009 if it weren't for "Death To My Enemies" which was on this same album. I love this song becuae it is soulful and brutal at the same time.

Classic India Arie

This was India's first single and it was big. Part of me always thought a piece of why this was such a hit was because it used the same break as Akinyele's "Put It In Your Mouth". The break used is "Fun" by Brick.

The Rays

I have the special edition of School Daze on DVD and forgot that it came with the soundtrack as a bonus. I know plenty of people who did not go to an HBCU or pledge who love this song from the movie. Lead vocals on this track are done by Tisha Campbell who depending on how old you are you remember from Martin or My Wife And Kids. The back up vocals are sung by Jasmine Guy and two other girls who wound up not being cast in A Different World or anything else.

Jay Electronica

I will be honest I was not checking for this guy for a while because I thought his name was corny as hell, but I got over it. This track is dope.

Hi-Tek feat. Jonell

I found this CD single when I was home for Christmas, this is one of my favorite beats of all time.

Classic Cam'Ron

U.C.B. feat. Wale


I posted this before but nobody really picked up on it so I am giving it another chance.
