I don't really listen to much hip-hop.

Diamond D - "Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop"

..one of my all time favourite hiphop LP's from the early 90's.

Someone mentioned Death Certificate which is truly great.

Someone also said Pan Sonic, they're from around here. They
used to be Panasonic but had to change theri name. I remember
their bass-heavy gig from this outdoor swimming pool..

Ok, I just copped a new one that I gotta add. Qwel n Mike Gao - Caffine Dream. WHAT ! this is one of the best albums ive heard in a longgggg time. To bad its kinda short tho. I woulf almost call it an EP.

You guys are droppin some classics.

Recent plays:

Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay (classic jazz)
Kool Keith - Sex Style: Unreleased (Kutmasta Kurt on some ill ass beats)
Monsta Island Czars - Escape from Monsta Island (raw ass hip hop)


also rockin that Percee P - Perseverence. This album may not be destined for "classic" status... but it is a banger.

Dntel-Dumb Luck
Cymande-Promised Heights
Grave Diggaz-6ft Deep
Portishead-Dummy
Mac Dre-Heart of Gangsta, Mind of Huslter, Tongue of a Pimp
Pixies-Death to Pixies
Living Legends-The Underworld

Listen, enjoy, keep diggin'.

jesus and mary chain - darklands or munki (i would not love 4/4 as much if not for this band, this is what rock and roll sounds like with an almost drum machine drummer, i think they use machine highhats and real drums)

the stooges - first two albums 1969 and funhouse (best guitar sound ever + iggy pop)

primal scream - exterminator (another rock band that incorporates lots of electronics, esp on this album, i dont know how to describe it well except for maybe a more party hard radiohead)

and of course: nine inch nails - pretty hate machine

any immortal technique song

bad religion - suffer
ugly duckling - all, especially fresh mode & taste the secret
they might be giants - tmbg, lincoln

godspeed you black emperor! - all
dj swamp - never is now (all the tracks he doesn't rap on =) )
beck - one foot in the grave, odelay, mutations, stereopathetic soul manure
