Top 10 Hip Hop Albums of 2009

Here is my list of top Hip Hop albums of 2009. I used to do this a lot when I was with Genetik and post it on the Genetik's blog but I haven't in awhile so I thought, why not now more people will probably read it.

These albums are my favorites of the year in order. They might not be your favorites but maybe there is one on here that you haven't heard and you can give a listen.

1. Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon; End of Day
2. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
3. Brother Ali - US
4. Fashawn - Boy Meets World
5. Royce Da 5'9" - Street Hop
6. Clipse - Till the Casket Drops
7. K-os - Yes
8. Wu Tang Chamber Music
9. J Dilla - Jay Stay Paid
10. Maino - If Tomorrow Comes
