I’m getting old. December 23rd will mark my 22nd year on earth. While I can’t buy the nightspot nor do I an immaculate credit score, I feel like it’s time I do a little growing up myself. 21 is the last year you’re
really allowed to do a bunch of irresponsible foolishness and blame it all on age. Therefore, 22’s the new 30.
So as any critic likes to do around this time, the ‘84 Baby’s year end list…or better know as:
THE FIRST ANNUAL 80′S BABY AWARDS ©
Top 10 Verses
1) Lil’ Wayne on “Hollywood Divorce”

2) Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
3) Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead
4) DJ Drama & Lil Wayne - Dedication 2

3) “I leave you missing like the fuckin’ O’Bannon’s”
4) “They say I aint lyrical….I wasn’t trying to impress y’all niggas!”
5) “Like my girl Foxy a nigga went def/deaf”
YouTube of the Year: E N-J vs. Niks
80’s Baby of the Year: T.I.P
This would’ve been an easy victory for Weezy if it wasn’t for that ‘79 controversy.
Runner Up: Lupe
70’s Baby Of The Year: Weezy F Baby (pause)
Runner up: Nas
60’s Baby Of The Year: Jay-Z
The old head raped Budweiser and gave 30+’ers a reason to think they’re still cool. God bless him
Runner Up: Diddy
If you were curious, I skip Who Killed It (great idea, lame execution), Not Going Back (add this to the “Hey Nas” and ”
American Way” list), Play On Playa (ZzZzZz), Blunt Ashes (Larry Troutman killed Roger Troutman and then killed….) and Hope (we know you can rap). I also skip Hip Hop Is Dead.
Just Blaze should do 50% of both Fab’s and Budden’s next albums. Their best work is with Justin Smith.
$100 on a 100 to 1 bet that Greatest Story Ever Told is album of the year in 2007. Hit me on myspace and we can put the money in an escrow until it drops.
If that Jay/Nas/Jeezy/Luda/Ross/Fab tour does go down, call it the “Hip Hop Is Dead Tour”. Milk that genius marketing strategy until it’s played out. CTC IDJ.
Black Republicans video…now!
Special thanks to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday on myspace. Going to get drunk. See ya next week.

Sick, you a funny ass blogger coz of the whole 80’s baby stuff, but damn, it sounds like you’re kinda obsessed with Weezy (dope as he is).
And Dedication 2 is more of a mixtape than an album.
That’s coming from a 90’s baby so yep.

How can your best album list not have Fishscale and Game Theory???? And best cut should have Shakey Dog instead of Whip You With a Strap. For the most part, the top ten verses are a joke and “Trouble” 3rd verse is fucking terrible. It was like the worst Jay-Z verse I had ever heard (It sounded like he was biting - of all people - Kurupts style) And the last 3 of top ten singles is a joke, how can you put Grammy Family over Holla At Me Baby.

All you need to know about Sickamore:

2.) The lettering has pink highlights.

^^^^^^
1. Deja Vu was a much worse verse than trouble
2. Kurupt=one of the illest rappers ever
Ay Sick how can Lupe be runner up for 80’s baby of the year if Game had the better album
Pusha T and Malice were the 70’s Babies of the year and should be the honorary 80’s babies of the year too(no Remy Ma)

Yeah that’s true E AKA THE REAL NORIEAGA. That Deja Vu verse was terrible. But lets just agree on the fact that both of those verses suck and either deserve to be on the top ten list. And fine, Kurupt is a fairly good rapper. but no way he is one of the best ever.

[...] Originally from a Long Island public access shoot, it ended up on DVD video mix “Real Talk TV: We Still in the Streets.” Then the clip hit YouTube on Dec. 11. The first mention I could find was in the Rap World forums, and the next day listed as both the top punch line and best YouTube clip by XXL Magazine blogger and music maven sickamore. Then Questlove dropped it on his vlog (yes, The Roots‘ genius and Chappelle’s Show regular has a vlog). [...]
