Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Comments: Yes, yes I know it did make my list last year. But I didn't even get this album until late last year so it deserves to be on my list this year as well. Not to mention the album is pretty good damn album as well! One of the best albums by a solo male artist since Usher's Confessions. Not one bad track. Truly an amazing album.

Comments: The homie has been through alot this year and none of the stuff has really been good for him at all. He got arrested on gun charges earlier this year which I actually think he was framed the dude is totally innocent to me. Anyways about the album I know you guys saw it as a huge dissapointment to me it was pure fire so many uptempo beats and hard hitting lyrics proved to me why MTV named him the 2nd hottest MC in the Game right now. I totally believe it. This album is good but it does not compare to KING though.

Ne-Yo - Because of You
Comments: Another album you guys saw as a dissapointment. I actually could not find one bad track on this album. This album just kept on getting better as I listened through. It was a great sophomore year for Ne-Yo he is truly becoming one of the most talented artists in R&B. He took it to another level when he did Michael Jackson and Prince like songs in "Angel" and "Sex With My Ex"

1. Go On Girl
CC: Leaving Tonight, Make It Work, Can We Chill
Chamillionaire - Ultimate Victory
Comments: One of the most talented rappers out there puts out an excellent sophomore album to top his rookie debut "The Sound of Revenge" His album shows a growth of lyricism and knowledge to make truly a classic hip hop album. One other thing I must mention is that I believe he did not use the N word at all. Such a talented rapper. Hip Hop Police was such a standout track. He had good guests as well especially K-Ci from KC & JoJo.
