08.05.08 | Rising Down and Game Theory are excellent album by the Roots.
if you want fun hip-hop music check out k-os. he's pretty good. |

08.05.08 | in terms of 'comic relief,' nothing you ever hear for the rest of your life will beat The Pharcyde's [i]Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde[/i]. if that doesn't make you laugh you have no soul, simple as that. and the music itself is great too
other personal tops are El-P's [i]I'll Sleep When You're Dead[/i], Blackalicious' [i]Blazing Arrow[/i], Wu-Tang Clan's [i]Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers[/i], and Hieroglyphics' [i]Full Circle[/i]. however, numerous people here will recommend those, if they haven't already. so there's no reason for me to hound you about them.
however, one that seems to go almost entirely unnoticed around here(aside from the aforementioned Pharcyde album) is Binary Star's [i]Masters of the Universe[/i]. that's the album that convinced me rap was worth listening to. if that isn't a sell i don't know what is |
