Comment:

When the hip-hop/R&B history books are bound and delivered a few decades from now, 2004 will be looked at as "one of those years" — 12 [i]busy[/i] months brimming with enough activity to make us (almost) forget Jay-Z's short-lived retirement plans, as detailed against the [i]The Black Album[/i]'s sneaky synths ("Dirt Off Your Shoulder") and stadium-ready Billy Squier samples ("99 Problems"). Speaking of swan songs, [i]Destiny Fulfilled[/i] dropped a curtain on the platinum-plated career of Destiny's Child and signaled the start of Beyoncé's solo reign, while [i]Encore[/i] sparked Eminem's three-year break from studios and stages. As for artists who were just getting warmed up, they included Lil' Flip, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, and Kanye West, an in-demand producer who quickly proved his mic skills with [i]The College Dropout[/i].
