Time for holiday cheer, food and celebration, and Best of '08 Lists.

I recently received my end of the year SPIN Magazine Best of 2008 issue, and it inspired me to do a little list making of my own. This is not necessarily the best stuff that came out this year, but these are the movies, songs, and albums that I liked most and got the most play on my computer/iPod/etc. I stuck to stuff that came out this year, with the only exceptions being albums that were re-released on new labels, or singles that were released this year, but came from previous albums. I also tried to stick to major label/wide release stuff, just to narrow it down a bit. Keep reading to see my full lists.

Fuck You, Penguin

I recently saw this on EVERYTHINGYOULOVETOHATE and I had to take a closer look. I am glad I did because the Fuck You, Penguin blog is hilarious. Some guy is basically taking random animals and shitting on them, figuratively, of course. I personally liked the Prairie Dog post. I don't know why he does it but I just bookmarked the blog. Check it.

"Someone Get This Fat Fuck A Carrot

Hey Prairie dog, I didn't realize donuts were native to the grasslands of North America! You're so fat, you make a capybara look like an African pygmy mouse!

Seriously, though, Prairie dog. You are really fat. This makes it very difficult for me, because the fact that your feet aren't touching the ground and your arms are kind of hanging down on your fat folds is fucking cute as shit. Am I supposed to feel bad for you? Is this what you wanted, Prairie dog? Damn you and your scheming ways." See the full post...

Tyga: Sayin This

Tyga made his initial jump into the mainstream consciousness with "Coconut Juice" which caught on due to the infectious hook, his super-swag style, and his unique voice. His ablum No Introduction which was released in June of this year was a very nice album with him straying slightly from the mainstream catchiness that "Coconut Juice" introduced. From that point we haven't really heard much from him on that level although he has been sparatically releasing songs on the internet. He is featured with Lil Wayne on "Exqwisite" which I dropped on the Fresh Like Our Blog Mixtape Vol. 1. "Fly Nigga" and "Sayin This" are also two of my favorites from him. Recently Tyga dropped a little in studio video of him rapping "Sayin This" and here it is:

The Official: Fresh Like Our Blog Vol. 1 Mixtape

Yea, thats right The Cookie Jar has finally decided to drop their own mixtape.

Click The Pic For Download

What's On It? Well i'm glad you asked. One of my main priorities when posting about these particular topics on the Cookie Jar is to give the readers an expansive look at music in general; more specifically quality music. I hope that on this mixtape I held true to that original purpose. I put my full support behind this mixtape. I believe that each and every one of the artists that are featured on it, with the exception of Cam'Ron, are true musicians that are creating art through their style, flow, lyricism, instrumentals, production and, of course, that x factor. In other words, listen to the tape, tell me what you think and, if you like any of the artists, download their individual mixtapes/albums.

I wonder why this even transpired. If you are going to go to that extent I say make it count. This guy probably just lost his job, house, car, wives, and most importantly his freedom over a whif. See the full post...
