Yep. I listened to 2001 on the way to my Aunt's house yesterday, and am currently listening to it now. 2001 may have been the best album ever in terms of production. I love every beat on that album.

As promised I got through some of Gang Starrs stuff last week. Great request, and I was wrong about them. I have always been a big Preemo fan but I never thought much of the little I had heard of Guru but Guru can rhyme. I enjoyed all of their albums, with my favorite probably being Daily Operation or No More Mr. Nice Guy. I have Cormega's stuff so i'll get to him sometime soon and report back. BTW if anyone has suggestions i'm all ears.

This next few weeks should be good for hip-hop releases. Wale, The Alchemist, Tanya Morgan, and I believe Elzhi is dropping his Elmatic mixtape sometime soon.

I'm looking forward to that Elmatic tape in a big way.

**bball2223** · 04-13-2009, 05:28 PM

B-Easy I believe I promised to listen to Chitlin Circuit 1.5 so i'll get to that ASAP.

I'm really feeling the new K'Naan album. It starts off a little slow, but it halfway through is when it gets REALLY good. I like this. AOTY right now.

UD40 · 04-21-2009, 04:18 PM

A Kid Named Cudi is starting to make it's way into the rotation...dope ****.

**bball2223** · 04-21-2009, 07:59 PM

Yeah Cudi has grown on me lately as well. I originally didn't like him after hearing him on that XXL tape with the 10 freshman. I mean if I was going to rank them now Blu and Wale are above the rest, but Cudi is probably in that 2nd tier with Mickey Factz and Curren$y.

**sMaK** · 04-22-2009, 11:03 AM

Yeah, that new Cudi mixtape is pretty good.

**bball2223** · 04-26-2009, 08:26 PM

Dayds Chasing Days by Blame One is dope. He sounds similar to Blu and the album has production from Exile on most of the tracks. One of the better albums I have heard so far.

lol @ hip hop

Am I the only one who has heard Panacea? Hip-hop group out of DC and they are dope. Have been playing Ink is my Drink for the past few hours.

**bball2223** · 05-08-2009, 03:47 PM

Man Relapse is a lot better than I expected. Not Em's best work but this is fairly good. Underground, Beautiful, and Hello are my favorite tracks. Dre absolutely killed the production, the man hasn't missed a beat (no pun intended). The beats have me beyond stoked for Detox only to drop down to reality and realize that it may not drop anytime soon.

UD40 · 05-08-2009, 04:05 PM

I found an old iTunes giftcard and had some extra cash, so I've been loving the new pruchases I've made the past two days.

XV-Complex
Illa J-Yancey Boys
Foreign Exchange-Connected
Redman-Muddy Waters
Lauryn Hill-The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

And with Blackout 2 on the way...I think I have plenty of music to hold me over for the summer.

**bball2223** · 05-08-2009, 04:22 PM

Yancey Boys is a solid selection. Illa isn't anything special on the mic, but the production was very good (it's Dilla).

UD40 · 05-08-2009, 04:29 PM

Yeah, he isn't anything amazing, but he's still a solid MC. He is a perfect fit for Dilla's production.
