The Best Hip Hop Songs, Albums, and Artists of 2009!

We've tallied the votes, and the results are in! In December 2009 we put a call out to you, our global community of readers, DJs and tastemakers, asking for your take on who and what made Hip Hop music great in 2009.

After three weeks of voting, over 20,000 ballots were cast for the songs, artists, and albums that defined the year in urban music. You spoke, and we listened – now we are very proud to present the 2009 Best of the Booth winners!
