lately....

Blackroc - Blackroc
Bit of an unlikely combination with the Black Keys providing music and a little back up vocals paired up with hip hop heavyweights including RZA, Q Tip, Mos Def, ODB, Luda, Jim Jones, Billy Danze (M.O.P) Raekwon and Nicole Wray. This is actually a really good album and something a little different to your standard hip hop.


Jay Z - MTV unplugged
I believe this one came out around 1999/2000 so its got none of this blueprint 3 crap on it. never thought a live hip hop album could sound so good, having the roots as the back up band helped a lot i guess. its got a good mix of old and new (at the time)



M.I.A - Kala
Jumped on this one a little late but it rules. The album cover kinda rapes your eyes though.


Justice - Cross
got this aaaaaaaages ago but can still listen to it all the way through easy.



Ghostface Killah - Ghostdini Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City
Ghostface made an RnB album still a little undecided on this guy. The album art could win an award for corniest thing ever though.
