Best Hip hop records of recent memory:
Ghostface-Fishscale
Mr. Lif-Mo' Mega
J Dilla-Donuts (instrumental) RIP
Little Brother-The Minstrel Show & Gangsta Grillz Mixtape
MF Doom-Everything he's ever done
Edan-Beauty and the Beat

I like Dipset (Cam, Juelz and JR especially) but very few of the full-lengths they put out are good start to finish (Purple Haze being the notable exception).

Eagerly awaiting:
The Ghostface/Doom collabo although my expectations are so high for this one I doubt it could live up to them
The new Busta album
The Stones Throw/Adult Swim comp

-Brixxx!
