Jezebel Music: Best Rap Albums of 2009

I posted my list of top 10 rap albums of the year up at Jezebel Music in two parts. There’s plenty of unnecessary writing but the list rundown and links are below. Looks like I skewed towards regional rap and pretty obscure shit. But then isn’t everything besides like Jay-Z, Eminem, and Raekwon pretty obscure these days? My apologies for the duplicated intro paragraphs on both parts 1 and 2. I didn’t think there needed to be an intro for part 2 but I guess my homie did. Download links provided for the album-mixtapes that were released as free downloads by the artists themselves:

Playboy Tre steals Internet

Best vlogger alive (and yknow, pretty great rapper) threatens his neighbors for not paying their Internet bill so he can jack their wireless signal. He also mentions “love purse.”

Playboy Tre Is The Best Blogger Alive

Jordan has turned me into an ardent Playboy Tre stan. Playboy Tre is the weedcarrier/hypeman of somewhat-more-popular-but-not-really, hipster-ish Internets rapper B.o.B. His homie gets a lot of shine basically because he wears tight clothes, sounds like Andre 3000 of Outkast, and has the type of effeminate look that girls will fawn over (plus he plays guitar and hates hip-hop, which is why critics like him). But, in a strange twist of fate, Playboy Tre is by far more iller when it comes to this rap shit. And on top of that, he’s the best blogging rapper in the game. How is this guy playing Memphis Bleek to B.o.B.’s Hova?

You can catch more of his bloggings on Youtube at his georgiadurt account but there are a few others uploaded from others that are worth checking out too.

UPDATE: Looks like AllHipHop totally jocks my blog. They threw up a good interview with Playboy Tre earlier today.
