Stuff I Liked in 2008

Music: Well if you listened to hip hop in '08 or read anybody else's blogs you probably have a pretty good idea of what my favorite rap and pop art albums were. So rather than discuss if I preferred Man on the Moon to Mixtape About Nothing (MotM fyi), here are my other favorite ablums and also top songs all genres.
Albums
in no order
Sia- Some People Have Real Problems
Estelle- Shine
Santogold- Santogold
I bought all three of those albums because I never believe any of my friends will actually download cds by female artists. I'm sure if I listened to the Raphael Saddiq album more it would be on that list and if you count In Rainbows as '08 that goes there too.
