Dart Adams presents 2008: The Halftime Show

Seeing as how we're halfway through the 6th month of the year I thought I'd once again remind the folks out there that Hip Hop is very much alive. To some of you this feels like I'm preaching to the converted but to others I'm merely talking out of my ass. I'm going to post a list of 75 Hip Hop albums, EP's and mixtapes that based on your different preferences and tastes are floating around the internet and bloggerverse or are available for purchase in your local record store right now.

Since the Celtics couldn't close out the Lakers last night, this is the perfect day to post this up. Now without any further ado, the 75* recommendations for the halfway mark of the calender year 2008:
