Well even though the album came out on 11/30/2004, the actual single didn't drop until '05 and it kicks the crap out of that Chem Bros song. Motivation, by T.I. was the best hip hop song of 2005.
And Hip Hop right now is kicking the shit out of electronic. Though I don't harbor the same contempt as Dubman, I'm curious Dirty Canuck as to why you think hip hop is suffering so bad. Over the past 2 years we've had incredible albums drop by The Roots, Mos Def, that T.I. CD, a new one from 3 6 this past year, Common... if you are a huge fan equally of old skool flavor hip hop, gangsta rap and soul... fuck it, R&B or hip-hop/rap in general... this has been one of the greatest 2 year stretches (2004-2006) ever. And Project Pat gets outta jail next year!
