We seem to be starting quite a few at the moment, so lets keep it all in one place.

This is your centre for enquiring about/recommending/talking about any albums, songs or rappers.

Enjoy.

No, I haven't, sounds good though. I'm currently really into Big Daddy kane - Smooth Operator is a class song, those jazz bits are funkier than funk.

Anyone heard Katrina Clap from Mos Def? It's about the New Orleans thing.

Pretty good actually.

I'm currently 'off' the current hip-hop scene at the moment. giving other genres a chance.

Currently listening to stuff like Foo Fighters, Magic Numbers, Coldplay etc.

I finally got round to seeing the new Orleans appeal vid with Kanye - I was in stitches when they switched to Chris Tucker sat behind the scenes with a look on his face like he'd just been caught knocking one out :D

I'm still listening to BE a lot, College Dropout a little. Beats Rhymes and Life came through today so I've put that on. Tribe are funny - their tracks always sound weird at first but they tend to grow on me, so I'm keeping this on for a while. :-)

Non-Hiphop wise I listen to Cymande, a bit of Tai Chi, and Jazz.

...and still has the "WTF?" look on his face. :D

I like some of Gangstarr's tracks.

EDIT: Did anybody watch Kanye West then? That last bit with the questions was so funny! :D

So anyway, what's everyone into at the moment?

I'm loving Gangstarr, Brand Nubian (despite the cheesiness) and that Kanye West still.

Kanye West is on TRL today if anybody's interested.

I think he's worked on their new album, to what extent I don't know.

But yes, he likes them, he calls them 'white crunk'.

No, I've read him talk about them before, in magazines.

Maybe he is just a Austro-Hungarian sympathiser!
