theGrindStoned's Top Ten Tapes of '09

also i figure this was appropriate theme music

Ok, this one has been in the works for a little while. All year I listen to enormous amounts of tracks and tapes by an array of various artists/ groups. All the while I am considering which ones deserve to be called the best. Then out of that "best" group there is an even finer categorization of the 'Best of the Year'. This is the list that you have all been waiting for and here on New Years Eve it has arrived...

This is theGrindStoned's Top Ten Tapes of '09, as follows in no perticular order:

1.) Freddie Gibbs, The Labels Tryin' To Kill Me

2.) Curren$y & Wiz Khalifa, How Fly

3.) Kidz in the Hall, The Professional Leisure Tour

4.) CunninLynguists, Strange Journey Vol. 2

5.) Lil Wayne, No Ceilings

6.) Slaughterhouse, Slaughterhouse

7.) Willie the Kid, The Fly

8.) Curren$y, This Ain't No Mixtape

9.) The Cool Kids, Gone Fishin

10.) B.o.B., B.o.B. vs. Bobby Ray

Happy New Years.

Current State of Play...

First post. One word. EPIC. So with that out of the way I plan on maintaining this hopefully everyday or at least a few times a week. I'll be posting new and old music that you should either know or is starting to blow up. I'm into all types music a little bit of mainstream, underground... Mostly whatevers clever, you'll start to get a feel for my flavor within a couple days. Today I wanna talk about an artist I don't hear to much about but he came on my Ipod today and I had completely forgotten about this song. "Lonely People" Bobby Ray Simmons or B.O.B. a rapper from the ATL. He has a fresh style reminiscent of Outkast but with his own spin. I guess I heard the Lonely People song on a random mixtape sometime last year (2008). I haven't been able to find a release date for his freshman album The Adventures of B.O.B. but its supposedly suposed to be released sometime this year (2009). I'll eventually get better at posting videos and music links but for now bear with me. Also follow me on Twitter @ samsonite085
