2.95 out of 5

On our http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/?page_id=28615 Cig Ratings scale, that was the accumulated average given the 95 reviews we did. There were somegood albums. There were some great albums.

@ everything Bone related.

Nelly's Brass Knucks, aint on the list?

Lil Wayne Carter 3

Worst mixtape of the year : Dedication 3

 

[young dunny]

"the epic fails" was comedy

 

[memphisboi55]

^
what he said
common too.

 

[rocathajordans23]

dont agree with Ace Hood and Murs being on the list.

 

[sidewayze]

, Bone had 8 Albums/Mixtapes out in '08?

so much for lookin' forward to Uni-5

 

[southzeztpdot]

Bone Thugz and Harmony have a new cd every week.

I haven't even given most of those albums a listen but from what i did listen to i'll say,

They're on rocks for naming Pro Tools

Good job calling out Madlib, Re up, Kardinal Official, & Guilty Simpson

those albums were trash

Undeniable and H.N.I.C. weren't horrible by any means, each had a reasonable handful of dope tracks, declaring them "Epic Fails" is OD

Yanceys Boys probably shouldn't even have been rated by them. They probably listened to it as if it were a rap album

Was Murs for Prez really that bad? I still havent listened to it.

 

[ydbounce]

Undeniable has its moments and I definitely don't think Dead End was one of the worst tracks if anything it was one of the better ones
the Ray-J track was horrible, I'll give em that
But to call it trash when there so many other wack albums to choose from is puzzling
didn't even know most of these ppl dropped like Kool G
and the Bonethugs thing was just not a good look on their part

 

[finessesosa]

"The Epic Fails"

(Albums that were Frisbees before the label even gave the green light.)

 

[jeyel]

THANK YOU for putting Murs on that list.. that album was definitely dissapointing.. expected way more from him

 

[mr monday niight]

Elephant in the room was crack.. so was hnic 2

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Khia - Nasti Muzik

(The polar opposite of a classic.)



And last and abso****inlutely the least of the bunch, the abominations of abominations, pure punafish: Khia's Nasti Muzik. The album will forever hold rank as the lowest rated album in TSS history. Should another album be in need of "The Boot," it will get the bomb. As far as anyone's concerned, the name Khia shall be synonymous with the utmost, disgraceful sounds ever formulated in Hip-Hop music. Because when you make an album this horrendous, you deserve to be associated with stool samples after a feast of beef curry.

 

[agthekid]

at that Khia cover.

I would also have to put Sheek Louch-Silverback Gorilla on that list.

at me for copping that.

 

[purplehazze96]

^you're a fool for spending hard earned dollars on it but it wasn't horrible

 

[misterp0315]

If the album would have been released mid-year, more than likely it would have been Auto-Tuned the !%%% up

Going in on Fat Joe...

All of this was comedy. Quality reviews.

[boredone1]

Rocko tho?!

 

[freezetag]

i hate to say it say it but common

^ We're in the process now. We broke it down into Quarters & we're on the Second Quarter right now.


TSS Presents 2008: The BestYear Ever - 1st Quarter

TSS Presents 2008: TheBest Year Ever - 2nd Quarter

At the end of the day, take into account that...

1.) ...these are all opinions. But...

2.) ...it's not always a one-person call. Generally, anywhere from 2-5 of us determine a final rating, no RollingStone bs here.

3.) We reviewed & rated 95 total albums this year, but touched on prolly triple that in terms of artists, songs & albums that didn't get rated butwere mentioned, some several times over.

4.) We wade through the BS...so that you don't have to
