long overdue in posting this album, its been out since May, but i was waiting til i got the CD in the mail. I originally planned to do a nice proper review of the album but am not really in a review mode anymore and there's no point in waiting any longer to try and let more people know about this fantastic album. this has been a great year for hiphop albums so far so i couldn't pick what the best album yet but this is up there in the top 5 or even 3.

If you've happened to just stumble across this blog and don't know Panacea yet, do yourself a massive favor and listen to both these tracks below from start to finish, the rest should be History
Since the untimely death of the great J Dilla the records and tributes haven’t stopped… the latest is the best yet though, a faithful recreation of some of the producers greatest beats “Dilla Joints”.
Live hip-hop can be corny as hell, but the Roots are like no other band out there they can easily flip form a live freeform jam to a loop as tight as any sampled beat. Their take on Dilla’s beats retains the fragility, weirdness and passion of the originals whilst giving them their own unique spin.

Blunted in the Bomb Shelter is one of the many projects that Madlib has undertaken rather successfully. This is a mix CD that skanks and trips through the Trojan back catalogue. There are 45 tracks that make up the 64 minutes of this CD. Madlib claims that this mix was recorded in his basement bomb shelter, and who are we to disbelieve him?
There are some lovely tracks on here with a nice variety of styles covered. Artists include Zap Pow, The Vulcans, Trinity, David Issacs, Don Drummond, Price Far I, King Tubby, The Chosen Few, and Mikey Dread.

Can't believe I only recently got this, its the shit. The legendary Blue Note jazz label had the confidence and trust to give Madlib the keys to the vault and let him mix. The result is "Shades of Blue". He wanted to explore the roots of hip-hop and create a sort of survey of the beats and melodies that have shaped the specifically American musical genre. This album is a gem. To say he was successful is an understatement. This album showcases his vision. Enjoy.

Montezuma's Revenge is the fifth album by the Oakland hip hop group Souls of Mischief. It was released on December 1, 2009 by Clear Label Records. This album is notable for the collaboration with prominent producer Prince Paul. - from WIKI
Yes this is just released this year in 2009, and yes thats Prince Paul on the cover and he does every track, what more needs be said, a collaboration between Prince Paul and Souls of Mischief in 2009! Sounds like a follow up to 93' till infinity, there all in top form like its 1993 but you still know its made in 2009.

Volume 1: Best Of The KMEL Mixes (1991) These were among the first all-rap (no R&B, no crossover) mixes to ever air on commercial radio in the Bay Area. Recorded in 1991 on Shadow's Yamaha MT-100 4-Track cassette recorder and mastered to DAT.
Volume 2: Best Of The Remixes & Megamixes (1990-1992) Culled from the 'Reconstruction' tape series, these tracks showcase Shadow's blitzkrieg cut-and-paste style utilizing the best music of the era. Everyone from Eric B & Rakim to Cutty Ranks and even TKA receive the Shadow treatment, to varied and remarkable effect. Previously heard only by a handful A&R men, and specially mastered for this release via Yamaha MT-100 4-Track cassette recorder.
Volume 3: Best Of The Original Productions (1990-1992) Throughout Junior High and High School, Shadow was studying and practicing DJ techniques; and by the time his 4-Track cassette was purchased, he had amassed a collection of original breaks and loops. No longer content to just mix other people's music, he decided it was time to attempt his own. The tracks contained on this disc represent the very beginnings of the Shadow's experiments in original song productions.

10. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
Okay, theres alway a lot of debate over whats Ghosface's best album and its usually between Ironman and Supreme Clietele, I even wont bother saying which one i prefer ill leave you to choose yourself. But take Ironman out of the equation and were left with Supreme Clietele and Fishscale, I actually wanted to put Fishscale in this list but didnt want more than 1 album by the same artist so settled on Supreme Clietele!
