I've heard a couple of tracks from Big Pun and thought they were pretty
good.

Yeah I forgot I used to own DoggFood, are there any other joints better/as
good as that?

Thanks, should keep me busy for a bit.

Cormega. I'll YSI some stuff if you like. He's been my favourite
emcee for some time now, you might want to start with 'The True
Meaning' (2002) or 'Legal Hustle' (2004) as good introductions to his
work, but 'The Realness' (2001) and 'The Testament' (recorded mid-90s,
released 2005) are also a must. I'd also suggest Big L.

'Hell on Earth' and 'The Infamous'.

As far as Jay-Z goes, I'd recommend 'Reasonable Doubt', 'The Blueprint'
and 'The Black Album'.

im having a lot of difficulty how you got from kevs original list to
this lot. i mean, theyre all great, but they dont bear much relation to
fiddy and co, do they? youve kind of gone from a unhc of artists who on
the main are street/gun type rappers over hardish beats to a bunch of
positive type guys who mainly rhyme over jazzy beats.

but like I said, I'm not sure what the rest are like.

You'd probably still like them, even though they are a bit different to
what you've already heard. Little Brother are sleep-inducing, though.

Only one you need and that's 'The Infamous' one of the best albums ever imo
and after that it just goes gradually downhill...

He's wack... Anyone who can't breathe can't rap...
>> Ice T (pre Home Invasion)
Include Home Invasion, it's not that bad...
>> Pete Rock & CL Smooth
>> A Tribe Called Quest (a MUST!)
WORD... Low End Theory... A MUST... More than any other Tribe album...
>> De La Soul
>> Mos Def/Kweli/Blackstar
>> Common
>> The Roots
>> Outkast

Ignore this one :-) ... Shouldn't be on the list of people you need to
check... Their debut isn't bad but it's not that good... Sumran is on some
stalker ish with their producer so he's biased :-p
>> Public Enemy (the first three albums are almost second to none)
First 4 I'd say...
Mr Bounce
> but like I said, I'm not sure what the rest are like.
i wasnt really trying to say that you wouldnt like them, its just that
in terms of sound (mainly) and subject matter (for the most part),
theyre quite a long way from the majority of your list.
anyway, give em a go (probably starting with ATCQ), by all means,
theyre all good. just maybe not what youre used to. plus if you like
the beats for "the world is yours" (pete rock) and "one love" (q tp
from ATCQ) on illmatic then you'll have a rough idea of what they sound
like.
you might want to try some of these as well (some of which may be
stating the blindinlgy obvious, i dont know who you know of and who you
dont..):
smif n wessun "dah shinin"
kool g rap & dj polo "live and let die"
any of the recent roc output - freeway, memphis bleek, beanie siegel
jadakiss/styles p/the LOX
the other g unit related albums - games documentary seems to be the
concensus' choice
east flatbush project

Cool, thanks.

Sumran
Well he had gangstarr on there, and nearly everybody I know who feels
gangstar enjoyes most of thpose groups up there.
Weak link I know but it gets a bit of variety in his rotation.

I really think the Testamont is one of the best albums of this year (in
fact I forgot to put it in my lists of lists). It's amazing it was
recorded in like 96.
Colorado211
Tribe - Midnight Mauraders (Low End is bomb too)
O.C. - Word Life
All Early Boot Camp Click (Dah Shinin', Nocturnal, Enter Da Stage)
Everything the Roots have ever done (Albums 2,3,and 4 are all classics)
I could go all day.......and I would if I wasn't at work
oh yeah. JEAN GRAE IS THE GRIMEST MC RHYMING TODAY!!!!!
COP ALL HER SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and MF Doom is bonkers too.....

Sounds like you'll listen to any old crap. ; )
I recommend: Del/Deltron, Necro, and, erm, Sage Francis's "Fairweather
Patriot" album, or whatever it's called.
And THE GOATS!

When did it fall apart? Sometime in the 80s
When the Great and the Good gave way to the greedy and the mean
Britain isn't cool you know, its really not that great
It's not a proper country, it doesn't even have a patron saint
It's just an economic union that's passed its sell-by date
