just curious. doesn't have to be hip hop. here's my current heavy rotation:

madlib: beat konducta in india
oh no: dr. no's oxperiment
dilla: donuts
tv on the radio: return to cookie mountain
ugly duckling: taste the secret

I been listening to a lot of early cypress hill, kurious, 3rd bass, necro

and 101.1 cbs fm Newwww yorrrrrrkkkkk. gotta appreciate the sound quality of the oldies

I just found my long lost copy of Operation Doomsday by MF DOOM, so that has been in heavy rotation lately. I was digging for records and I found a dope ass Bill Withers live album which has been spinning a lot at my house as well... I also really like the new Busdriver album "Roadkill Overcoat".

Ive been listening to alot of galapagos4 stuff lately. Qwel, Meaty Ogre, Mestizo, Mike Gao Jackson Jones... various combinations of those cats

hey glad to see someone listening to Ugly Duckling, and Galapagos4 cats

stuff like that. if you noticed, i havent named a whole lot of recent albums. i had a list somewhere of dope shit coming out but i dont know where i put it. some of these albums ill just listen to back to back. ill shit to me. oh yeah i also listen a whole lot to whatever the members here showcase, and over at mpc-forums. random myspaces and soundclicks and zshare links, you know.

ugly duckling's some of my favorites. been down since the ep. i feel you on on vinnie paz. violent by design was ill though. i had that lifestyle marketing but i sold it. never really felt it. that "pick up the phone" joint was ill, though.

Today it's been...

random tracks from Dr. Dre. - The Chronic
some from Snoop's Doggystyle album
Tech N9ne stuff from his last 3 albums or so

anticon + g4 + prog rock + late 60's early 70's jazz

some artist

^IG9, how is that new OhNo album? I really dig that new beat konducta.

^ it grows on you. at first it was just good but now i really dig it more than the new beat konducta to be honest. track 13 always kills me.
