man, did 06 ever suck for hip hop.

T.I. had hip hop's ONLY platinum album with KING. The rest have either flopped or have started to regain some steam after its release.  Hopefully the albums that got released in the 4th Q(Nas, Jay, Em, Game, etc...)can ressurect hip hop or else.  As a side note, even though B'Day(Beyonce's 2nd album) sold well, it didn't reach that status as Dangerously In Love.

on another note, beefs were not that spectacular...there was Game vs. Ras Kass, 50 vs. Diddy(1 of the worst beefs ever), Gillie vs. Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z vs. Cam, Def Jam's artists vs. Jay-Z, Trina vs. Khia vs. Jacki-O, etc....

slept-on albums - Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, GFK, Clipse

worst albums - Mobb Deep, LL, DMX,
