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.

This Is How We Do. In 2010...


Why do I look forward to every Cool Kids release? Not to hard to tell, every release is fresh; consistently. To be honest from all the Cool Kids songs I've heard I can't recall one I didn't like. The Cool Kids are innovative and here to stay (all of their clothing fads aside). I know that they like to consider themselves the new Beastie Boys, and I'm cool with that. I mean I'm a huge Beastie fan even the new track they did with Nas. But, to be honest I don't think of The Cool Kids as the next coming of Beastie Boy, I don't feel they're picking up any slack in the Beastie's absence. I feel like they've carved a different but similar niche. I get the similarity in the fact that they both have heavy drum patterns and steady 'get your point across' lyrics. I remember hearing a quote by or about the Beastie Boys stating that at their concerts they were hoping for a hip- hop crowd yet the majority was drunk frat boys. Well 2009 eh. 2010 this is where its at. Your ideal frat/ college/ I'm The Shit music. Thank you Cool Kids.

Dude N Nem

I'm not usually a fan of Dude N Nem's songs such as 'Watch My Feet' with I thought to be basically just obnoxious, but saw this video which is pretty sick , and the song is produced by Xcel beats.

King of the Hill


I downloaded this tape a couple days ago, and really only grabbed it because I saw that there was a Pill remix on it so was instantly intriuged. I was pretty impressed this with collection of remixes, and can tell you it's def. worth a download even if only for a few listens and too add to your library...
