    7) Z-Ro, I'm Still Livin' (Rap-a-Lot)

    How is it that this allegedly transcendant paradigm-shifting work is only the seventh best local release of the year?

    Ro's lyricism = paradigm shifting (also see: Gerald G)

    I'm Still Livin's production =

    Also, the heading reads Texas[/b] and not local[/b].
