Gobias Industries Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 M.I.A.Kanye West circa College Dropout and Late Registration...Graduation is meh. These are pretty good too. Not as good as the old stuff, but it's decent. In my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somnambulist Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 The Brand New Heavies - Heavy Rhyme Experience I thought it was one of the best real band/rap artist records. On that same note, the Teenage Fanclub/De La Soul tune Fallin from the Judgement Night soundtrack was always a favorite. Actually, on iTunes, that is the #1 downloaded Teenage Fanclub track.

lost highway Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kwali 99ish(?)). Best hip hop album ever. I love it . Every year I get addicted to it for a month. Just checked out the Blue Scholars. Also awesome. Philipino MC from Seattle rapping about the Reagan administration with a guy holding a music degree on the turn tables spinning jazzy keys and big beats. Hell yeah.
