RapReview Feature - The Year 2006 in Review

The Year 2006 in Review
Author: Adam Bernard

Forget all those people who try to tell you that Hip-Hop is dying, or that there isn't anything good out there to listen to anymore. When going through albums for my year end top ten list I had more than forty I felt were deserving of notoriety. Here's who made my year end "Best Of" list. (Please note I compiled this list midway through December, so please no emails about how I left off albums that came out after the 12th)

TOP 10 RECORDS OF THE YEAR

10) Lady Sovereign – Public Warning

Some of the rhymes have a juvenile (and I don't mean the southern rapper) quality to them, but she's only 19 so it's not annoying, it's endearing. She's acting her own age with her lyrics, but has the skills of someone years her senior. "Tango" ranks as one of my favorite songs of the year with its classic "Bitch you're orange!" taunt in the chorus. (myspace.com/ladysovereign)

9) Jair Dynast – Vialence

Vialence, which stands for Vicious Ignorance Amounts to Little Except Negative Consequences n' Expression, is an impressive collection of songs that have some social concern in them and showcase a lot of lyrical ability, as well. The production style of Vialence is also pretty unique as it encompasses the influences of all of the places Dyanast has called home, including Toronto, Barbados, Connecticut and Texas. Overall it's a fantastic launching pad for a talented artist. (myspace.com/jairdynast)
