Damn right! One year after Ghost put out the best Hip Hop albums of 2009, Ghostdini: Wizard Of Poetry he has done it again. Apollo Kids is different than '09's sleeper hit but still an album of excellence.

Added 13 December, 2010

Dear Mr. Kelly, As a Soul/R&B lover, I just wanted to express my gratitude for your upcoming release “Love Letter”. During a time where male R&B artists tend to sound like each other you were able to masterfully bring R&B back to its roots while keeping the listener entertained.

Added 18 October, 2009

Since 2002 we have not heard one of the greatest voices in our lifetime. When Whitney Houston's first single "I Look to You" was released, it was a little disappointing, not her best work. One hoped that it was not an indication of what was on the album.

Added 29 September, 2009

The Blueprint 3 is Jay-z's third album since "retirement". The first single "D.O.A." comes right on time as the use of auto tuning has taken the music scene by storm. The album has solid production; we should expect nothing less. It is also evident that Jay-Z still has lyrical skills and a undeniable smooth flow. His lyrics have matured.
