d mac DJ Booth Crew	I gave this to Luda since his album was solid but moreso because he killed any track he was featured on. He was hungry in 2008. Follow @djboothCEO

lzfreshtadeath DJ Booth Member	I agree with Z. weezy could sell snake oil and call it a platinum record and people would buy it...if that makes sense.

Mike Dreams Resident DJ	Not by a long shot. Weezy? NEVER. Good? Yes. BEST? Nope.

tdotraza Resident DJ	I cried. Nas had '08 year on lock-down. I mean, from the album of the year, the incredibly dope mixtape, or all of his features that he killed..

JayCL Resident DJ	nah, i thought T.I. was gonna be, Luda did came hard in every feature he came on though

jaydeemorgan DJ Booth Member	Man, I think TI deserved this, but you gotta give Weezy his props. 2008 was his year.

Aussie_Pride Resident DJ	I voted for Ludacris, mainly because i thought & still think that Weezy is overated as a MC (he's good, but not the best around) & because i thought Theatre Of The Mind was a great lyrical album

Mr.Top Hat Resident DJ	Im happy to see Luda coming second ... cos i was expectin Nas on 2nd .... & bout the 1st position ... for me dat was obvious .... so loyal members .... scenario is still commercial over hardcore ......

joshL Resident DJ	08 was wayne's yr, but i still think Nas Luda and T.I. are better overall

Sigurd DJ Booth Crew	should have tied on this one Weezy is my boy, though straight up
	Posted on Jan 17, 2009

btaznpride DJ Booth Member	Luda & Weezy were both the top contenders, Luda murdered every guest appearance, but Weezy was all over the place in '08, Weezy gets this one, as much as people would like to hate it. He was on every track, single, whatever, it was his year.
