I sampled a lot of these and they were all pretty good. Very underground sounding, like rap is suddenly the purview of bedroom artists. The one that really stood out for me was Death Grips. I like that he put an erect penis on one of his album covers - a very transgressive act, but was the fact that it was a white penis the active transgression?

Anyway, Money Store is definitely going on my want list. Thanks so much for the recommendations...
