Recommend me a good hip-hop track

Talib Kweli - Lonely Peopleis trippy. Likin' it.

Nimh,

I'm listening to Urban Dance Squadright now. I'd already known Deeper Shade of Soul and like it. Thanks for the reminder.

I also got a track named Good Grief, don't much like it yet (will give it a few more tries as the best music tends to grow on me and not catch me right away) and will keep trying others from them.

There's a vid of Immortal Technique on YouTube of their The Fourth Branch. You may like it or hate it, the vid sure would make Michael Moore jealous, its that unabashedly rhetorical - but either which way, you gotta give Immortal Technique props for being take-no-prisoners political and hard-hitting.

Do hide the window away then listen to it without seeing the vid a time too - has a different effect on me, gives me more mental space to appreciate the rhymes. Also has different vibe, more a melancholical anger.

Not as good as Peruvian Cocaine though, that was a masterpiece, a whole absorbing narrative rolled into rhyme.

Nother IT cut here on YouTube: Bin Laden

This track peddles the "Bush blew up the Twin Towers" conspiracy theory -- and the vid's pretty MM again (which I guess is a + and a - rolled into one: dishonest but effective, or vice versa).

But again, hide the window and just listen to the rhymes, and that conspiracy theory hasnt sounded so good in a long time

check out The Illest by Immortal Technique... You can listen to the song on youtube... just type in Immortal technique the illest. its Immortal Technique, Jean Grae, and Pumpkinhead

Oh, cool - I like Jean Grae. Thanks for the heads up.

Let's see, what have I been listening to lately...Mostly old-school and underground shit.

9mm Goes Bang--Boogie Down Productions
Dirty Money--Clipse
8 Steps to Perfection--Company Flow
Kilo--Ghostface Killah
Soul Food--Goodie Mob
Music--Modill
Status--Mr. Lif
In the Trunk--Too Short

That's a nice little playlist.

well, hell, since this is going on...

good video (relevance? none, really, just the pharcyde after they stopped being funny)






...which maybe resulted from or led to getting rid of fatlip...






(both videos by spike jonze, i think.)

i forgot pharside hay fat lip is good

fatlip was the best part of pharcyde, I thunk. but I'm not a hardcore fan of the genre.

I just picked up the new DOOM yesterday.
