Many thanks for the recommendation list, which will most likely take a weekend of dedicated listening. Also I would like to make a recommendation of my own. Anyone with spare time should check out OUTERLIMITZ- Suicide Prevention(2005). I think it's a slept on album but it's definetly a treat.

No problem; I did it as much for you as for me. It helps me remember better when I do lists, and gives me a master copy I can refer back to later. When you got a lot of music, it helps to organize them mentally as well as physically. I relatively know my library like the back of my hand, and it's pretty grande (~700Gb).

It also gave me a chance to relisten to a few favorites from the period since I've been listening to other ish lately. It was fun...

Hope you enjoy. Some of those may be hard to find, but I think most are available in the usual places.

Let me know what you think eh?

If you want something different, listen to T. Romeo Genesis Master. I know he has a mixtape out right now just google him you should be able to find some good stuff.

[Thom Yorke]

White boy. Not bad.

Have you heard the Wick-It mash-up of Big Boi and the Black Keys? Siiiick

I'd post a link but I can't yet...

Google "Big Boi Vs Black Keys Shutter Down" and you can hear the whole album for free. Big Boi commissioned this and Wick-It is a friend...enjoy!

Just got turned on to this. I'm enjoying.

Can a hip hop connoisseur help me out? I've only recently been getting into hip hop and this is what I've enjoyed so far-

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
Madvillian - Madvillainy
Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP

well, and that's about it. If someone could recommend me just a couple of their absolute favorite hip hop albums, loosely based on the three I've already listed, I'd greatly appreciate it.

For a group similar to Tribe try out De La Soul

3 Feet High and Rising and my personal favorite Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump

You might also want to check out Jurassic Five - Quality Control. Also get their self titled Debut.

Because of these two posts I just checked him out.

He's okay. I like his methods for doing what he does but there's somewhat of a cheesy smooth jazz/new age sensibility to his music that I'm not really a fan of.
