Really? That's definitely not a sound I associate with them. Try this instead:

You had the wrong person introduce you to Aesop Rock, that's for sure. I just wonder if it's way too late to change your mind about it or just a little late. It took me a good couple years to get everything out of Aesop's tracks. But then again, I love his lyrics and flow. The beats are just icing on the cake for me: Blockhead, El-P, Aesop himself, Prefuse 73, Big Wiz all do Aesop well or make for great instrumental tracks if you can find them.

How are you still not getting it? I laughed at the fact that you had Dizzie Rascal in the hate pile because he ticks every box you seemed to like.

Stop being modest, Sparky. I knew it was only a matter of time before you and Phantom Limb finally got together and made a video. Good work, guys!

So the only real hip hop albums I own are most of the Beastie Boys albums, the first three Eminem albums, Public Enemy's second and third album, and Enter The Wu Tang.

What are some other great hip hop albums that are must have's for any hip hop/rap fan?
