interesting.
cheers (y)

[Rancid_Beasties]

Tzar, you gotta at least try them. You mightn't agree with my music tastes ie Mars volta, on most occasions, but you like the beastie boys so you will probably like these guys. They would be in my top 5 hip hop acts easily.

Yes (y)

simple answer

[Mr.Right]

Buy "Organix", it's probably one of the best Hip-Hop albums.

[tdot04]

If you like your rap a little left-of-centre, you would probably enjoy The Roots.

[The Notorious LOL]

illadelph halflife, sure.

anything else they put out will put you to sleep.

ah, fair enough

edit: JB used to be the place i use to spend more money at than any other store. since moving out tho, Bilo's taken that spot:(

[bassdriver]

[Rock]

i've seen them almost 10 times. Tomorrow night will be 11. With Dilated Peoples. For Free. On the other side of the country.

I liked Things Fall Apart a lot.

my personal favorite.

[Kid Presentable]

Things fall apart is wicked, if a little hard to get into. The book it takes it's title from is good, too.

[mickill]

Things actually did start falling apart after that 4th album.

Actually, I think the live album is one of their best, if it counts.

[Kid Presentable]

I like Illadelph and Game Theory the best at the moment.

old Roots yes, new Roots no
