Rizoh’s Top 10 Everything of 2009

View Comments 12 January 2010

You can take 2009 out of the calendar, but you can’t take the rich memories out of 2009. Animated films ethered live action movies. Mixtapes murdered albums. Raekwon and Mos Def turned in undeniably stellar performances and Eminem delivered one of the most polarizing albums hip-hop has ever witnessed (you either hated it or loved it). Allow me to introduce you to my Top 10 Everything of 2009.

    Excellent non-hip-hop top ten Riz. I come here for the hip-hop news but the genre isn’t my favorite. Really awesome to see a rap blog with far-reaching preferences.
