TOP 30 ALBUMS OF 2008

Everybody loves lists. We here at The Chop Up are no different. 2008 was an unusual year for music. I think it's safe to say that there weren't too many classic albums being released on the hip-hop or the R&B tip. But, if you searched around the Internet or checked out a few minor label releases you were probably able to find a diamond in the rough! With that said here are our top 30 albums of 2008!!!

DISCLAIMER: We did not listen to every album released in 2008. So these are the best of what we heard. But, since this is The Chop Up and we run this shit, these are the only albums that matter. Proceed!!
