ok so as the year comes to a close, im goin to be name the 5 best hip hop albums, movies, mixtapes, songs, and artist of 09. So.....
5.) Wale- Attention Deficit

Ok..in my opinion this album was underated...probably because Wale is (in my opinion) the most underated freshmen in 09...but this album had dope songs...each song was soulful...and lyrics were on point.
4.) The Clipse- Till' the Casket Drops

The production on this album was CRAZY!!!...the Neptunes really out did themselves this time...also the lyrical content was dope as always....da best Clipse album so far.
3.) Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon: The End of Day

What made dis album dope was the fact you catergorize this under any genre...Kid Cudi has the talent to create different sounds for his music...also Cudi talks bout real issues that goes on with kids my age
2.) Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx pt. 2

First...let me say that i did not know that Kwon made an album before OB4CL II...and i didnt kno dat part 1 was a classic...but this album brought back the old feeling of hip hop during the Wu-Tang era...and hip hop needs that
1.) Jay-Z- Blueprint 3

Jay-z = G.O.A.T.....every song on dis album was dope...well except Young Forever...but 14/15 aint bad lls...anyways...the production on dis album was crazy...with big time producers such as Kanye, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, etc....and you already know that Jay gonna bring da lyrics...but Jay continues to disprove the haters that he is still relavant in the game.
