Not my favorite Com album, but I dug it. It happens to feature his best track ever . . . "Heaven Somewhere."

sorry i can't chose five... i don't have this kinda attention span but anything that has mf doom, madlib, jaydee or a combination of them is cool with me...

anyway, i'll just add:

Only four?

I tried to put the fifth one up there but it wasn't showing, so I gave up.

Don't forget that



K-O's Atlantis (Hymns for Disco) will be released in the US on 2/20 and is currently available as an import from Canada. It is an excellent album.

On the other side, I of course love Cee Lo's two solo records.

Later

You talk about mainstream and you're pumping Fitty? Fitty is mainstream, son. I respect Nas immensely. Cam is just decent.

KingKrazy said:

On the real, the first couple tracks on this album is some of the rawest hip-hop that's come about in a long time. NaS is one of the rawest when he really puts his mind to it. There's some nice tracks on his latest effort also Hip Hop Is Dead

Personally, i think this was one of the roughest joints to drop within the last couple of years:



Dizzee Rascal - Boy In The Corner

Despite the english accent.

and i'll co-sign on the Madvillian, Quasi, Common and even Jay's Black Album

i thought he was being sarcastic.

or are you being sarcastic?

Oh and Mike Ladd has been doing some interesting thangs in the hip hop world.

namepeace said:

I think that was his point. We need to lose our mainstream bias and listen to popular artists like 50 Cent.

spelling edit

I see. I thought he was talking about bias towards mainstream artists. My bad, Krazy.

KingKrazy said:

This is what I said originally:



But now I understand you're saying that we are biased AGAINST mainstream artists. Ain't necessarily so. Jigga is the ultimate mainstream rapper. If we had a top 10, I'd put Kanye, Gnarls Barkley and OutKast on the list.

But with these so called gangstas, I mean really. What's the difference between'em? Aside from Nasir Jones, whom you rightly respect greatly (as I do), Cam and Fitty and their ilk are not on that level, IMHO. Reasonable minds can disagree.

My five faves of the last five years:

Lupe Fiasco


Common


Common


Mos Def


Outkast

Nice list, vashti.

I would have definitely said this if sexton seven said "of this decade" but he said "the last 5 years". Still, Quasimoto - Unseen gets more play than any of the classics I listed.

MikeMatronik said:

Me too.

Mind you, a lot of the more respectable hip-hop releases of the past several years have come out only on vinyl.

namepeace said:

50 should never EVER be considered Hip Hop. Never. Ever. Never.

CosmicTalk said:

so who is hip hop, since 50 is nicer than most of your favorite rappers, if u don't like his content say that, but to say he is a wack rapper is garbage

KingKrazy said:

Because his shit isn't hip hop. His shit is rap. REAL Hip Hop Headz know what I speak of, so I'm sure you don't.

black star was the last five years rightt?
i adore them.

shockadelicaa said:

Mos Def and Talib? that was `98

CosmicTalk said:

wut is real hip hop, the underground shit most of yall named, right k-os,that is REAL HIP HOP, sure?

KingKrazy said:

Um...yeah, THAT'S it. Now you're "down" with us.

KingKrazy said:

Look, I don't dig Fitty. You might think the "underground" joints I dig are overrated. Reasonable minds can disagree. I simply think that there have been better mainstream albums from 2002-2007 than Fitty's joint, if you want to talk mainstream.
