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.

I've been listening to Never Let Me Down a bit and on it Jay-Z keeps going on about "Hov". "Hov tradition" and "Hov's a living legend".

What's he on about?

Edit after some googling:
So Hov's an alias of his, and so's Jigga (I'd heard of "Jigga fromso many other places...).

So let's get this straight:
"The way y'all all follow Jigga,
Hov's a living legend and I tell you why,
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive."

So, Never Let Me Down:
Kanye: I go through a rough life but God looks over me...
J. Ivy: God's in all of us, I know he works through me...
Jay-Z/Jigga/Hov: F**k that! I'm God!!

What a muppet! :-D

Yesterday I listened to my iPod for a total of 6 hours non-stop. I was in Paris and we were heading back home, I started listening to it when we headed to Calais in France which took 3 hours. Then from Calais we went on the Ferry to Dover which took 1 hour, then the last 2 hours were spent driving from Dover to Essex.

Not only did I listen to about 100 tracks but I now have an ear infection. I cant hear AT ALL out of my left ear which makes it very hard to have a conversation with somebody, it's alright when listening to the TV and stuff, but when somebody tried to speak to me I sometime have to ask them to repeat themselves.

It's annoying and I cant beleive I was so stupid to listen to my iPod that long at such a high volume.

Im not 100% sure it's an ear infection, but whatever it is it has caused me to be deaf in one ear and it's actually given me a headache strangely. :S

No listening to music for a while then. :(

Yeah, I found that a bit, only I usually have it on in the background while doing something else so I can "tune in" when I pick up a tune.

Did all CD versions have the bonus CD?
I actually like the skits on that.

"I told you! My name is Jeff! Where's your gold chains?"

It may just be me, but I could never listen to that album in one go.

Soooo many skits, so few actual songs.

Just listen to '3 feet high and rising'

De la Soul lost it a bit when Prince Paul stopped producing, but the above
album is an all time classic.

Danke.

Eye Know
Buddy
Stakes is High
Verbal Clap

Potholes In My Lawn

Yeh it has De La Soul in it.

For those of you that are interested, here is Nas' reply to 50 Cent's Piggy Bank diss.

I'll have a listen in a minute, but I presume Nas murdered him.

I've never heard of De La Soul until this song, give me a few decent songs he's done.

Isn't It's So Eazy a De La Soul song, with Common in it? Either way, I have that song, and yeah it is good, but it's not amazing. Common and De La both have far better songs.

PLEASE download these two songs:

Common - It's so Eazy

Common - Come Close to me

I love them.

Give me your thoughts.

EDIT: I was told the worst rumor yesterday. My uncle told me that he heard Ciara used to be a man, I was like "WTF?" and went straight to google to look it up.

I was suprised to see loads of people chatting about it on other forums, but I still don't beleive it. Apparently, if you look at her adams apple it sticks out which is a sign that she could be a man, but I still dont beleive that crap and i'd only start beleiving when she says herself whether she is a man or not.

If she is a man, her plastic surgern has done a pretty dman good job!

Other people are saying she was born with both male and female genitals which im totally cool with, because at least she has real female genitals and real breasts.

But yeh, like I said, she isn't a man.
