| 1. |  | 808s & Heartbreak
by Kanye West
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
I must say that I was very worried about how the album would turn out after hearing the singles, but after a few listen throughs I am very glad I bought this album. IT IS DIFFERENT, so casual fans might be turned off, and understandably so. The closest thing to an traditional rap verse is the... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Tha Carter III
by Lil Wayne
Price: $11.99
Customer Review:
I understand everyone has their own opinions, but what I don't understand is why people love this so much. People brag how he's been rapping since he was 12, if someone's been rapping that long (for him over half his life) I'd expect them to be way better.
This album consists of him throwing... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Paper Trail
by T.I.
Price: $11.49
Customer Review:
I bought Paper Trail because I loved the first two singles released (Whatever You Like and Live Your Life). I had no idea until I got the CD how many INCREDIBLE collaborations were on this album (Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake AND John Legend -- among others -- just incredible). It's obvious from... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Theater of the Mind
by Ludacris
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges has been a mainstream/hip-hop stay for years, but this time around he attempts to make a case for top 5 (or at least top 10). His latest effort, though musically similar to Word of Mouth and Chicken & Beer (in format), it is leaps and bounds better than Red Light... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

by T-Pain
Price: $12.99
Customer Review:
There is no way you will ever get closer to the utopia you experience when you listen to this outstanding album. I hope for the sake of every being in the universe that we will see many, many more T-Pain albums in the future. When I first caught a glance of this CD at Walmart, I turned and fell to... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Kala
from Interscope Records
Price: $7.49
Customer Review:
Overall, this is seriously bland. This album has few bright spots- the brightest of which, "Paper Planes", leaves all other tracks in the dust.
This could've easily been a fairly solid EP of 5 tracks, but as a 12-track album, this is desperately lacking substance. Desperately. It appears as... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Freedom
by Akon
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
Hallelujah! "Freedom" is the first Akon album that doesn't need an edited version to be sold at Wal-Mart! Although in terms of lyrics it's not totally free of that sex-and-violence insinuating language, it shows that it is possible to release a great hip-hop/R&B recording without resorting to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | All Rebel Rockers
by Michael Franti & Spearhead
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
This is what music is all about to me--a great beat that makes it hard to stay sitting down, with a MESSAGE. This isnt your generic 'irie mon' reggae (which i love), this is ala bob or ziggy or stephen marley--inspirational words that make you think hard about important things, but make you realize... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
