2766038, best new rapper for every year of the 2000's... Posted by bavid dammer, Sat Dec-29-12 07:11 PM
nominate the "rookie of the year" for every year and then produce material to make an argument... one rule: if the rapper was OUT years prior but became popular in a certain year (ex. 50 dropped in 99, blew in 02/03) they do not qualify..
reply under the appropriate year below with your nominee...

best new rapper of 2001 for what reason:
originality. nobody looked like him, nobody sounded like him, nobody rapped like him. the freshest new rapper to come to prominence in 2001 imo.
material:
best of me/do my... freestyle (not available on youtube)
both hot 97 ROC sessions

2766423, kanye was 2003. Posted by bavid dammer, Tue Jan-01-13 01:26 PM
he just dropped his album in early 2004 and blew up commercially. 2003 was the year he really entered the arena as a rapper.

2766055, lupe fiasco Posted by bavid dammer, Sat Dec-29-12 07:45 PM
reason:
that early stuff was undeniably fresh. nobody was doing double-entondres like this before him. jay-z had a few but i mean come on... there's no comparison. even if you didn't like his voice, which i never did, i could still realize his rhymes were such a cut above the norm that it had to be recognized.

2766097, Blu was rookie of the year in '07 & i'm rookie of the yr in 2012 Posted by judono, Sun Dec-30-12 01:40 AM
i done dropped 3 full length albums on the production & rhymes this year plus like 2 or 3 EP's . 2012. if i had 3 months, a small studio to record at, an engineer to help me record my vocals and help me with my mixing, and a small/ moderate/ fair budget for myself, the engineer, and to help me get a couple of production and vocal features--- i would kill it.
