06 hip hop

I'm going to try to remember what decent hip hop was released this year. I wasn't blown away by much, but I have been digging Cadence Weapon's "Breaking Kayfabe" for a bit. He's a smart dude. Used to write for Pitchfork, and certainly has a unique flow. Most impressive to me is his production prowess. Everyone is still gushing over the Neptunes work on the Clipse joint (so overrated, my god) for no reason. Cadence's futuro-funk is hot stuff. Fishscale was sick, but that was expected. New artists like Cadence blowing you away unexpectedly is what this music thing is all about people. 30 Seconds is taken straight out the Sage Francis playbook, skewering consumer culture.
