Mecca and the Soul Brother album by Pete Rock and CL is classic material. T.R.O.Y is probably my favorite song off there and probably my fav Pete Rock and CL joint of all time.

Can't go wrong with some slick rick ever. All his albums are good.

Agreed re: EPMD. They never get held in the same esteem as other groups you mentioned, but they should get more respect than they do.

After playing the NBA 2k13 trailer this song has been stuck in my head:

Been really digging Food & Liquor II. Much better than that LASERS bull####.

Let Lupe do his thing. Don't mess around with it.

Lasers was crap.

Have you heard Friend of the People. I really enjoyed that one.

That was a really good mixtape. Interesting use using dubstep and techno as his background beats. I actually liked it.

The new Xzibit Napalm is out, west coast stuff. Great album two good releases so far with Lupe and X to the Z dropping fire.

[Hockey_Ninja]

I have to say hip hop has been doing really well over the last bit. Nas, Xzibit, Kendrick Lamar, Lupe and Kid Cudi all dropping new albums this year. If only Dre would actually finish Detox.

[FlamingLonghorn]

Danny Brown is the my favorite newer rapper right now.

[ResAlien]

New Living Legends?



Hell yeah.

Any good cyphers from the BET awards?

The west coast one with Snoop, Kendrick Lamar, Xzibit and E40 (who went off) was easily the best one as a whole IMO.... everything else was mediocre with some exceptions (Talib Kweli, Childish Gambino and surprisingly enough T.I. were highlights I thought).

Nothing nearly as good as the Slaughterhouse/Eminem one from last year.

[Hockey]

Busta killed it with his last year too I thought

New Wu-Tang joint



IMO best hip-hop track I've heard in a long while.

Ya pretty good song. This whole soundtrack looks pretty decent.

[Kiran403]

It's wintertime now so I always feel like Mobb Deep makes for perfect winter music.
Murda Muzik and The Infamous definitely in the CD changer.

[TSXCman]

I have been enjoying the new Brother Ali album, new Nas, and FELT (Murs is a fun rapper to listen to).

For a change I checked out Common album, some good stuff like The Beleiver.

Gave Mac Miller a chance, but that kid is way too immature, he isn't rapping about a single thing that matters.

Also have a Macklemore album, I don't know anything about this guy but he has a pretty solid flow

New Murs and 9th Wonder album as well as the new Buckshot and 9th Wonder album both drop on October 13th.

I'am at work so I can't see what that is....but with Murs having quit the group and Grouch on hiatus how good could anything they put out now be? I like Eligh and Sunspot but Murs and Grouch make LL, without them I'am not too interested.

Definatley looking forward to the new Murs and 9th album though, love that duo.

[kipperfan]

Also, new K'naan on Tuesday - should be good. And new K-os in November, that should be utterly amazing.
