its ok mate. we dont really think that youre intelligent anyway

oh and : ) have your heard Cuban Linx 2 yet? its awesome bar a few crappy tracks.

Got some Mos Def the other day, wasn't entirely sold on his stuff on the first spins, but I think I'll come to like em. Though I got newer ones, and was told the two he did in the late 90's were the ones to get my hands on if I wanted to be impressed... We shall see how the relationship develops...

Songs of kidhood lol,
E-40 feat Suga T - Sprinkle Me
Nine - Whutcha Want
Raekwon - Ice Cream
Nas - NY State of Mind
The Pharcyde - Passin Me By
Ice cube - Once Upon a Time in the Projects
Cypress Hill - I Wanna Get High

I'm a HUGE fan of Sage Francis

Also I like The Streets a lot, especially this remix. British hip-hop just sounds better imho...

Two standout artists for me are Warsawpack, a fusion of hip hop and jazzy beats with politico-centric messages. Ok... I advertised that badly... Cheack out this song though, it's amazing!

And another is Dead Prez, any rapper singing about "Lentil soup is mental fruit, and ginger root is good for you" gets kudos from me anyway.

Another great song is Mind Sex,
"It's time for some mind sex, we ain't got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations
Before we make love let's have a good conversation"

dan le sac and Scroobius Pip are ace. "Though Shalt Always Kill" is a choon for our generation!

i think it should be put to Mr Devin Townsend that he write and record a hip hop album.

ok bad idea probably but id like to hear Dev trying out hip hop beat production

Heh, I actually think that Devin could produce pretty cool hip hop beats if he tried.

That is just stupid.
Here's a quesion for all you progheads, which involves more effort and intelligence?

A) enjoying songs over 7 minutes long or

B) dissecting and analyzing the lyrics of something like this for example:
