Naptron Tops The Charts

UPDATE: Here's a link to the 2003 year-end charts.

HIP HOP 2003 12"/LP YEAR-END CHARTS

At this point, you may be asking yourself, to what sort of artists does an arrogant writer like Eric actually listen?

Since you are so curious....

Kanye West "my way" and "through the wire"
Louis Logic "dos factotum"
Madlib
Jay Dee
MF Doom
Mighty Casey
Grip Grand
Little Brother
Sean Paul
Roots Manuva
Ludacris
Baby Black "No Coast Allstars"
1st Infantry f. Havoc and the Alchemist
Aceyalone "Lost Your Mind" and "The Saga Continues"
Prophetix 'keep yo hands out of my pocket"
Afu-Ra "blvd"
Krondon "Feels Good"
Naptron "Released" LP
Grand Agent "No Rest"
Problemz "Say What"
Procussions

As you can see, there is no reason to be scared of me. I like underground hip hop. But, like everyone, I have a weakness for music played on the radio.

I'll have to check some of those artists out. Good to see another Roots Manuva fan, he's so slept on in the States.

Yeah, his whole first LP is pretty solid. He's also put out a mix, apprently. But I haven't heard it yet.

Ain't nothing wrong with radio hip hop. just sometimes it gets carried away.

That Naptron album is the best release so far of 2003. I know I'm one of the very few who share that sentiment, but that album was definitely worth EVERY penny. Now if I could only get my hands on his unreleased album "Afekz Of Metatron"....?!?!

I've been hassling with this guy in New Jersey to get ahold of Afekz of Metatron. Going on 6 months, he keeps saying he'll send it, but I'm not sure if he will. I've heard almost everything on the Afekz album, but it would be nice to have the whole album on CD. I also had a 12" test press with Naptron and PEACE on it.

btw, both Peace and Supernat have albums that were produced by Hive and Daddy Kev. All the material was shelved when Celestial closed.

I never would've pictured you a 'Luda' fan. I thought that was just High School Music. How old are you, man? He's kinda clever, but his voice and attitude gets annoying QUICK. B'thas'me-do.
