GETDOWNNN's New Years Resolution

Since we've been down for what seems like forever, I thought I'd make it up to you all by putting up some songs that we would have posted on, if we were around. Please enjoy and have a safe and happy holidays {Better than "Best of..." lists and Christmas songs (just get Sufjan's album if you want some new holiday sounds), right?}.



[MP3] Mos Def :: U R The One
[MP3] Mos Def :: Lifetime
{A return to a more soulful Mos...me likes}
Style so fresh like baby's breath

[MP3] Ghostface Killah feat. Trife Da God & Soloman Childs :: Grew Up Hard
[MP3] Ghostface Killah feat. Shawn Wigs & Eamon :: Gotta Hold On
{What a year for Ghost. I heard with the success of the Fish series, Ghost is now going to strive to come out with 2 albums a year...now that's a Christmas gift.}
Ghost's site

[MP3] Clipse feat. Slim Thug :: Wamp Wamp (What It Do)
[MP3] Clipse :: We Got It Cheap
{This was the album of the year, especially in Hip-Hop. There were other contenders like Lupe, Ghostface, The Roots, but this was the album that brought it home all the way around, a 360 degree banger.}
Clipsy

[MP3] Snoop Dogg :: Real Talk
[MP3] Snoop Dogg feat. 2pac & DPG :: Just Watchin'
{Yes, Jigga & Nas weren't the only ones who had comebacks, but their albums were better from top to bottom. These are the only two tracks on the album that caught my ear.}
S-N-double O-P D-O-double G

[MP3] Nas feat. Kanye West :: Still Dreamin'
[MP3] Nas feat. Game & Floetry :: Hustlers
{I don't think Hip-Hop Is Dead, with a showing like this year. Granted it's not '89, but it could be worse.}
Kidnap the President's wife without a plan

[MP3] The Good, The Bad, & The Queen :: History Song
{Something to look forward to for next year, a supergroup which features Paul Simonon of The Clash on bass and production by Dangermouse. Check them out here.

Here to stay (hopefully).
RIP JB.
