Remember listening to Orpheus vs. The Sirens a fair bit when it came out, but think my fav. of his is Days With Dr. Yen Lo.

25 Years On: Mos Def and the Promise of Black On Both Sides

A quarter century since Black On Both Sides, Stevie Chick dives deep into a savage display of talent from a young artist ready to take it all on, and reflects on the dispersed promise of what was actually to follow

There are some pretty great tracks on there. not on the album, but im a big fan of this song,

 

[kid charlemagne]

not to sidetrack, but is it ok for me as a white boy to perform a biggie song at karaoke?

This one's so cold and grimey. You can almost imagine Wiley or Dizzee or someone on it. Sounds like drizzle and streetlights and tower blocks.

Kendrick Lamar: Rapper surprises fans with new album GNX

The 12-track album, which is the performer's sixth studio release, dropped on Friday.

www.bbc.co.uk

Joking aside, I have actually got this on now and the tune with the Debbie Deb sample's pretty good. The rest is underwhelming.

i am the resident kendrick fanboy here and everywhere im sure.... i loved the new album of course, but something i really admire here, is that it doesnt seem like hes aspiring for some all time landscape album and rollout that is kinda trademarked with him, just seems to be a genuine rap album put out that really just speaks for itself in its time

This is good, the first half more so than the second (that 'MUSTARRRRRD' bit is horribly meme-able)
