'CLIFF NOTES' BEST OF 2008

So since the year's winding down, a "BEST OF" list was only right for what I thought was dope for the year of 2008. I put a quick list together, so let's get it in...

BEST MOVIE: 3-way tie - IRON MAN, THE DARK KNIGHT, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

I had to do a tie on this one...I remember over the summer how Big Sean & I got into a pretty big argument over which of these two films was the best. Personally, I went with Iron Man at the time. However, Looking and the artistry and realness of The Dark Knight, I now think otherwise. As for Slumdog Millionaire, AZ was right. That movie was pretty dope...

BEST SPORTS TEAM: DETROIT RED WINGS

I'm not a hockey fan, but in the words of Eli Porter, They "deed it".

sidebar - WORST SPORTS TEAM: DETROIT LIONS

'nuff said

THE "OH SO SPICY" AWARD: I have a 4-way tie on this one:

CHANEL IMAN

ANGELA CARROLL

CANDICE CABRERA ('BLACK' FROM FLAVOR OF LOVE 3)

SELITA EBANKS

BADDEST WHITE GIRL: ANNE HATHAWAY

Kanye went with Scarlett Johansson with this one, but I'll have to disagree with him on that one...

BEST MIXTAPES: BURN RUBBER MIXTAPE, ROYCE DA 5'9"'S "BAR EXAM 2"

BEST BOUTIQUE (OUTSIDE OF MICHIGAN): LEADERS 1354 (CHICAGO, ILLINOIS)

I didn't stray far from the Midwest with this pick. LEADERS has always been killin it, nad they're one of the best boutiques in the world. They definitely deserve this pick and their LEADERS x REEBOK JAM dropped. TY, Vic, Joe, Stretch whattup!

BEST SKATE SHOP (MICHIGAN): PREMIER

Premier is one of the dopest skateshops in Michigan. The staff is cool, and the product they carry is pretty nice.

BEST BOUTIQUE (MICHIGAN): I have to do a 3-way tie on this, because so many shops in Michigan are doing it big out here. Let's go:

MOTIVATION (ANN ARBOR)
