Skillz - 2009 Wrap Up

i always like this guy's rap up's

this had pretty simple rhymes, and a similar beat to last years, but he pretty much covered every subject that should have been covered, i liked last years better

i liked the "its sad that a mixtape is the album of the year" line
also the balloon boy line, lady gaga one, and the lil mamas big head one were good, also some other good ones in there

Skillz yearly wrap ups are hip-ho institutions at this point, it's almost hard to rate them individually. The man comes with it so consistently I'm just gonna have to give him four stars, not only for 2009 but for all the years that have come before.

Oh, and I agree with O-Tyme, that Lady Gaga line was the best.

this was the BEST wrap up ive ever heard. idk if it was cuz so much stuff happened this year but this one was HOT and ive heard it on the radio up here in toledo!

DAMN!!!! This guy's yearly wrap ups have become EPIC moments in hip hop. He completely brings it on this one. Skillz don't stop it man. Definately one of the best (if not the best) so far. Five out of five.

Another year, another HILARIOUS Rap Up by VA native Skillz!

he just does it with such ease now, don't he... i don't think there's too many rappers that can cleverly & comedically do it quite like him. i just wish he got as much publicity for the rest of his music..."up all night" was a smash last year...

NICE WRAP UP FROM SKILLS THE LADY GAGA LINE WAS THE BEST FOR SURE..LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WAT HAPPENS THIS YEAR AND HIS WRAP ON IT..

AND I WAS WONDERING I MAY HAVE MISSED IT BUT HOW CUM U DIDNT DO SONGS OF THE YEAR AND ALL THAT LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEAR??BEST NEW ARTIST,SINGLE OF THE YEAR ETC..WAT HAPPENED WIT DAT???

I was ready to click "X" on the tab when i heard the beat, but Skillz won me over with his skills (ironic isnt it haha)but the dude is hilarious and on point, almost every reference was on the money. this track had me dyin from beginning to end. This whole track is very simple but effective and has lyrical substance, I love this track, as far as i know this is on repeat for the rest of the month. I wanna get the lyrics to this joint...freakin damn near classic! If you was in a comma for the last 12 months and woke up to this in 2010 and needed a break down of '09 this is the track they need to turn up the volume up to

For some reason, I was a tad disappointed in the choice of production he decided to go in on for the Wrap-Up. It was cool though. A couple of good lines that I really liked, such as "Rihanna, she kept quiet...until she had an album to sell, but we still ain't buy it." LOL. #PardonMeiHadToLaughAtThat. It was truth though.

I liked last years but this years topped it!!
I gotta say you missed one.... Sonya Sotomayor was big news too man....but other than that it's a banger!!

i liked this. he always comes correct. he's known for this

this was good as usual. funny too.

on a sidenote, i was hopin to see that "Nosy Neighbor" song from Akon and Guetta on here tonight. is that official or wat? it needs to be. does anyone kno wats goin on w/that song???

This is something that we all always look forward to at the end of the year. And once again the boy Skillz delivers with the year end wrap up sooo effortlessly.

Skillz is not only more pleasant to listen to but shows cleverness and wit in his choice of phrasing and punchlines, by maintaining a purposely simple rhyme structure. The beat is just perfect, nice mellow piano keys with bass-and-drum hits to complement the flow.

In my opinion, 2007 Wrap Up is the best one in the series so far. Why? for the same reason @that1kid has mentioned - too much sh!t happened in '09. So it was nearly impossible to cover up all of 'em. But I still fcuks wit him on the sheer fact that he's creative enough to pull it off year after year. CLASSIC!

** - Favorite lines

wouldnt be no new year without the wrap up

Another dope rap-up. Covered all of the big topics. Nice!

Good Looks on the lyrics Mr. Top Hat!

Damn I forgot how much happened this year, I think in the kanye line he say "Man I think he planned that". doesnt really matter, but this was cool, nice to reminise a bit.

Skillz! I like his end of the year rap ups, did you all check out the White Rapper Version?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtfELB_b9iw

Its funny stuff!

@THEDRZADVOCATE you missed the award thing, hopefully All The Above takes best record and club anthem!!!!!!!!!!

I always love listening to these every year, and the 2009 wrap up was no disappointment. The production was good and fit well with his lyrics, which were great as usual. It was funny too, and its been on repeat in my mp3 playersince i first heard it. definite banger!

yo this shit is hard but you know its skills!!!!! he reaps it every year

WOW.......

My favorite part of the end of the year, Skills does again

The Tiger line was the best line for me; he hit on so much stuff but the produx nearly killed it all.

Another hot Wrap Up as usual

This guy will alway's be the most underrated rapper ever in my mind.

I love mad skillz.

This song is hot. It needs to climb the ladder. It kept my interest, made me laugh, feel like crying (about MJ), angry, think, reminisce... all the emotions in one song. The beat was nice too. Not too much going on to take away from his great lyrics and smoothness. It had a *real* HipHop feel. Great job!

Skillz is a beast behind a locked door

One of his best rap ups shame we dont have a decent UK mc to them overhere funny as hell

what beat is it that he uses as i really like it cant find out what it is though
