#1 DMX - Last Hope

"The Champ!"

Det finns bara en och det kommer alltid bara finnas en DMX och han är UNDISPUTED precis som titeln på hans nästkommande skiva. Årets utan tvekan bästa låt alla kategorier! Finns inte så mycket mer att säga egentligen, 2011 var ett bra musikår! Kolla på videon och läs låttexten. INGEN berättar en historia i sina låtar som DMX! As usual, bonusar efter hoppet.

"Damn! I went through it again
After telling everybody I wouldn't do it again
I kinda feel like I let my people down (yup)
But to get them right, I got's to pick myself up"

"I got's to do it for me, or do it for them,
I ain't playing with this shit, Im'ma do it to win
Know I can do it again, cause I did it before
With little to no effort, and y'all ni***s knew the story 
First album dropped in may, second in december
Both went platinum in one year like: Y'all don't remember? 
Only ni**a who's first five albums debuted at number one
And you wonder why I call you son? My son!"

"I'mma thank you for it all, the blessings and the curses
And I hope you listening, there's a lesson in the verses"

#2: Boldy James - I Sold Dope All My Life

"Some people tell me I sound like Prodigy,
I take that as a compliment, I've been Mobbin Deep" 

Detroit rapparen Boldy James kanske är ett rätt så okänt namn för de flesta. Det kan bero på att han hittills bara har släppt ett enda mixtape "Trapper's Alley: Pros & Cons", som kom ut 2011, för övrigt årets utan tvekan bästa mixtape. Det innehåller 28 spår inklusive några sköna skits från världens bästa TV-serie "The Wire". Det fräschaste, nyaste och skönaste inom hiphop just nu. Perfekta samples. Bättre än de flesta rappares album så har du inte lyssnat, gör det. Nu. Lyssna särskilt på ovanstående låt, Home Invasion, What's The Goody Bag, Killin' da 5th och Top Villain. Lyssna även på det klockrena skitet från "The Wire"; Applied Mathematics.

Första "singeln", eller vad man nu vill kalla det från mixtape, som även fick en video var I Sold Dope All My Life, något som i Boldys fall åtminstone verkar vara sant. Man skulle kunna säga att Boldy liknar Freddie Gibbs lite i det avseendet, Boldy har dock bättre beats, rapstil och skönare röst.

Årets fråga och spådom inför 2012? Eminem signar denna Detroitinvånare till Shady Records och gör en ny 50 Cent av honom (?!). Fullt möjligt om ni frågar mig och konstigt att det inte har nämnts hittills. Kanske slår den nyheten ner som en bomb någon gång under det kommande året? Watch it happen!

Bonus efter hoppet.

#4 Most Played Songs Of 2011

#4 Tinie Tempah - Til' I'm Gone ft. Wiz Khalifa



Finally a UK rapper that makes good music. With Rookie of the Year a.k.a Wiz Khalifa 'Til I'm Gone was a sure hit. I though Wiz would become the next go to guy for choruses, with his 50 Cent sing-a-long kind of voice, but that hasn't really materialized yet. Nonetheless, it's Tinie's song and his british accent works really well.

Punchline:

"Got some friends that playing football
And some friends that playing cricket
And a mistress that is fine like a f*cking parking ticket"

Bonus: The DJ Whoo Kid hosted mixtape "Foreign Object"
Tinie Tempah - Foreign Object

Second prediction for 2012: K'La gets her BIG break

Def Jam artist K'La will get her big break. She's like a cute version of Nicki Minaj and sings a lot better, BUT apparently also raps (!), which seems to be a good combo these days. Kolla videon med Roscoe Dash + bonus efter hoppet.

#7: The-Dream - Long Gone

That The-Dream is one of the most creative and unique artists today is nothing new. Nobody in modern R&B has a so unique sound of his own. In 2011 The-Dream released an album, 1977, under his real name Terius Nash. The album was available for free via his homepage, but that didn't stop from being one of the best albums this year. The album is just great from beginning to end with out no fill out tracks. "Long Gone" is the standout track with an infectious bass line with a spanish flamenco feel to it. The expectations for his next album "Love IV: Diary of A Mad Man" just hit the ceiling. Just listen to the song about his late mother "1977 (Miss You Still)" and you'll understand why.

"Another day with you is just another fuckin day."

Bonus: Download the album "1977" here.

#8: Drake - Headlines

Drake had a good year. Again. Thanks to his producer Noah "40" Shebib, who took care of 90 % percent of Take Care, Headlines was the perfect first single. Listened to this a lot when it came out, but eventually I do not think Take Care lived up to the hype and is not even close to being as good as Thank Me Later. Nonetheless, Drake makes hits.

On a side note Drake performs in Stockholm 15/4.

"And they say that I'm back
I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off
Ooh I needed that"

Bonus: iTunes bonus tracks.

#9: Young Jeezy - F.A.M.E (Fake Mother Fuckers Envy) ft. T.I.

The Snowman had a rough road up to the release of Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition (21/12 this year), but in the end sales came in good. The album was first announced back 2008 and an avalanche of singles have been released (the best perhaps being the first Lose My Mind ft. Plies) without getting the buzz for the album going (All White Everything, Jizzle and Ballin' was just bad) and with more and more voices saying the Jeezy had lost it. Mixtape after mixtape after mixtape after mixtape after mixtape and nothing happened. Finally (!) Shake Life appeared and not long after Jeezy returned with the above mentioned; F.A.M.E with T.I. and all was forgiven. Classic Jeezy produced by some of the best in the industry: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.

"Can’t slow down, too much evil in my rear view
Sometimes you wanna scream to God, but he can’t hear you
And even if you did, this’ll probably be disaster
F-ck you ‘plainin’ ’bout? It ain’t like you got cancer"

Bonus: Young Jeezy - Shake Life

#10: Lil' Wayne - How To Love

It's that time of year again! Yup. The most played songs of 2011, compiled from the iTunes, iPod, iPhone of yours truly. Let's Go!!

At # 10 we find LilTunechi a.k.a Weezy F a.k.a Birdman JR a.k.a Lil' Wayne with "How To Love" from this year's much anticipated and hyped fourth installment in Tha Carter series; "Tha Carter IV". Selling 964 000 copies in its first week in the US alone, this was the best selling hiphop album of the year, although I think everyone agreed it was not even close to "Tha Carter III" in quality. Nonetheless, it's a great album with a lot of great songs. After "6 Foot 7 Foot" failed to be the new "A Milli" and "John" didn't do the trick neither "How To Love" was released as the official single in the spring after Mack Maine said it was gonna be the new cross over a la "Lollipop". It wasn't really what everyone expected and I personally went through a like-hate-like-love phase with this song. It finally grew on everybody and became the pop/crossover hit Lil' Wayne surely needed. Listen for yourself.



Bonus: All six bonus tracks from different editions; Best Buy, Target etc.

Lil Wayne - Novacane
Lil Wayne - Mirror
Lil Wayne - Up Up And Away
Lil Wayne - I Like The View
Lil Wayne - I Got Some Money On Me
Lil Wayne - Two Shots

We're baaaaaaaaack!

After some time a bit closer to the equator we are back in business.

Vad passar bättre än några klassiker på just temat att komma tillbaka. Some modern day hip-hop history 2000-ish. Listen and get schooled!

DMX - We're Back


Eminem - I'm Back


Busta Rhymes - As I Come Back (the video for this song is included only as an intro to "Break Ya Neck")


Some good old fashion "disturbing" lyrics from Mr. Mathers (it's from the third verse not included in the live performance above):

"I take seven (kids) from (Columbine), stand 'em all in line
Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine
a Mack-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine
and that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time.
Cause (I'mmmm) Shady, they call me as crazy
as the world was over this whole Y2K thing
And by the way, N'Sync, why do they sing?
Am I the only one who realizes they stink?
Should I dye my hair pink and care what y'all think?
Lip sync and buy a bigger size of earrings?
It's why I tend to block out when I hear things
Cause all these fans screamin is makin my ears ring (AHHHH!!!)
So I just, throw up a middle finger and let it linger
longer than the rumor that I was stickin it to Christina
Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz
it'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this!
I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a fuck if this chick was my own mother
I still fuck her with no rubber and cum inside her
and have a son and a new brother at the same time
and just say that it ain't mine, what's my name?"

Music & Video: Fire Flame (Remix) - Birdman ft. Lil Wayne

Birdman och Birdman J.R a.k.a LilTunechi a.k.a Weezy F a.k.a Lil Wayne är tillbaka tillsammans i en video med remixen till Birdmans Fire Flame från hans kommande album. Som väntat är remixen > orginalet.

Punchline:

"If these n****s dogs, I'm animal cruelty"

#3 Black And Yellow

When Wiz Khalifas debut album drop in 2011 I'm pretty sure a star is gonna be born. Doing his thing independent with the backing of Atlantic Records, turning down touring with Drake to focus on his on tour he finally got his commercial break through with this Taylar Gang anthem! Best hook this year? When that bass starts...."You what it is!" Addictive song.

"Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow"

#4 Most played songs of 2010

#4 Nikki Pt. 2 - The-Dream


Most beautiful R&B song of 2010! The follow up to the song Nikki from his debut album Love/Hate. As inspired by Prince as an artist can ever be (Darling Nikki anyone?). The-Dream is the anyone I would ever give the epithet the modern Prince, and that is as good a grade any artist can get from me. The-Dream's third album Love King is as solid as his other ones and you can listen to it from front to back. The best and most creative R&B artist right now!

"Nikki I miss you"

#7 Trillionaire - Bun B ft. T-Pain


Ok, so a album that gets 5 mics in The Source (although a XXL is probably worth more nowadays) should at least have one hit song and not just be a good rap record right? Well fortunately Bun delivers the hit with a little help from T-Pain. A T-Pain hook hasn't sounded this good for a looong time. If this doesn't motivate you, nothing will!

Best punchline:

"They gon' leave you chopped up

like they was DJ Screwin' ya"

#8 Fall For Your Type - Jamie Foxx ft. Drake


Man, I first heard this track when it leaked as only a reference track for Jamie Foxx and it had Drake singing the whole thing. It was a hit then and became a hit in Jamie's version as well. From Jamie's album Best Night Of My Life. Although maybe it would've have been better with just Jamie or just Drake doing their thing. Haha, Drake should have kept this one to himself when "Show Me A Good Time" didn't become the cross-over hit Young Money wanted for him to be able to do Lil Wayne numbers with his debut. Drake second appearence on the list though!

"Can I, can I, save you from you?"

#9 Just A Dream - Nelly


Nelly came back like cooked crack in 2010. New album, new hits. This is how good pop/rap/hiphop gets with the modern day LL Cool J. Even though Nelly was dissapointed with his album sales no one can deny this hit song. Also, the video is great and not your typical hiphop video. Fact, rappers with decent voices who can kind of sing their choruses like Nelly and 50 Cent make great songs.

This is feel good music at its best. When you hear that signature Nelly "uh, uh, uh".


Best punchline:

"Tryin to get my Usher on, but I can't let it burn!"

# 10 Most played songs of 2010

GMODT has compiled the best/most played songs* of 2010 by adding together the number of plays a song has on our iTunes + iPod. This is of course a rough measure of how good a song is. Some times you play a song to its death and then leave it like yesterdays trash, while other go with you through out the year. Of course we will also give you all the best song of 2010 on the best measure there is; The way you felt when you first heard it. How high and excuberant did that particular song get you when you first pressed play?!

*Of course, only songs released during 2010 are elegible for this list.

Here we go! Chea!

#10 Light Up - Drake ft. Jay-Z


Drake's first appearence on the list. The best song from Drake's amazing debut Thank Me Later. We thank him now. Oh, and as usual when Jay-Z is the guest. Jay-Z > Drake.

Man, when this beat starts, get motivated!

Story behind: Hold My Hand - Michael Jackson ft. Akon

Så. Den andra singeln från Michael Jacksons album Michael har släppts och det är som bekant Hold My Hand, en duett med Akon. Vad många däremot inte vet är att den låten läckte redan någon gång sommaren 2008!!

Låten borde även snarare betecknas som "Hold My Hand - Akon ft. Michael Jackson", eftersom låten från början var tänkt till Akons album Freedom. Hur som helst är det en riktigt grym låt som förtjänar att släppas officiellt. Skönt att Akon lyckats ta en paus från att tjäna äckligt mycket pengar på Lady Ga Ga och fixat till det här.

Download: Hold My Hand - Michael Jackson ft. Akon

Bonus: Cry Out Of Joy (MJ tribute) - Akon

"In this life time I wanna thank you, for showing me the man in the mirror"

Video: Young N Restless - Lazee ft. Adam Tensta & Eric Turner

Äntligen nån bra svensk hiphop!

Sluta göra så jävla mycket backpacker skit och gör lite anthems istället. Ingen lyssnar på Looptroop längre. Ja, du läste rätt.

Det enda bra att se framemot i svensk hiphop har varit Adam Tenstas uppföljare till A Tensta Thing som kom ut 2007. Tre år sedan!


Nedladdning kommer snart.
