^Free Jazz is stellar.

152. Boom Bip & Doseone - Circle (2000)

One of the strangest hip hop releases to date, so much so that I almost hesitate to call it hip hop. I've seen this album described as being like someone who read a definition of hip hop and decided to make an album in the genre without listening to it first, and that's totally fitting. Doseone delivers surreal stream of conscious lines over Boom Bip's variety of beats that range from ambient to heavy to...just fucking weird dude. This is one of the albums that won me over from my close-minded view of hip hop and it's still one of my favourites. Everyone should listen to this album, hip hop fan or otherwise.
