Yeah. It's almost something of a concept album, and I think the whole works better than it's parts. I can up it later if you want it and you can try it on.

That would be lovely. Thanks! :)

I read your later post, and I would like to affirm that I am talking about Kayne's album and every piece of **** that stemmed from it.

I still feel that today's hip-hop has lost the same energy that the 90s stuff had, and I am event talking about the underground ****. I am sick of Aesop Rock, and I am sick of hipsters riding his ****. Aesop might be rap, but he does not resemble hip-hop culture at all.

JESUS CHRIST.

PLEASE do not be introduced to Aceyalone through the Lonely Ones. Just don't, dude. Trust me on this.

Aceyalone is possibly my favorite rapper of all-time (next to Aesop Rock), and he's released so much excellent work, the Lonely Ones is really just another album. "Can't Hold Back" is a fun summery jam, but seriously, I cannot stress to you how great Acey is, and it's not on that album.

Can I trouble you for another one?

Don't worry, I'm well aquainted with Aceyalone. I haven't liked a new album of his for quite a while so this one interests me for the 50s production thing alone.

Filthy Lies.
I hate when people assume this because of the mainstream "Hip-Hop" that's on the radio.
(And even not all mainstream Hip-Hop is like that nowadays, with people like B.o.B. and whatnot).

90's rap for sure they had some good underground rap/hip hop I like from that era. Dr. Octagon, MF Doom, Deltron 3030 other acts I like are A Tribe Called Quest and Wu Tang Clan

You must really hate rock music.

Well I have to disagree with this statement. I had rap constantly passed onto me by my friends back in the day and I didn't need hindsight to know it was good. It was talented, took skill and was something fresh to listen to.

I listened to the stuff that Jester posted as good examples of modern rap, and I have to say my opinion remains unchanged. The biggest problem I find with rap today is that it has become culturally clique and stale. I'm sick and tired of rapper lingo like, "yo, yo" "no what I'm sayin" "yeah, yeah, uh uh" "wut up"

How about this "yo yo, I sound like a ****ing mofo retard trying to imitate someone from 1994." Rap is fake, it has become a culture of imitators with no originality. Say what you will about MC Hammer, but I'de rather listen to "Can't touch this" and Naughty by Nature's "Hip Hop Hurray" than 50 Cent's "In da club" and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop".

I'd rather see rap change than die, but at the present moment I don't care.

So what you saying is ****ty main stream rap was slightly less ****ty back then then it is now? Either way its still ****ty mainstream rap.

You listed 50 Cent's "In da club" and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" as examples of todays rap, and yes that is an example of todays ****ty mainstream rap. However its kind of laughable you are judging "hip hop today" by just that. If I had only hard drake and lil' wayne and co I would agree but really, their is far more far far better hip hop out their today

90s for sure. Even my favourite 00's album, Deltron 3030, was released in the year 2000. I love some of the more experimental underground hip hop that's surfaced this decade but you cant touch the 90s IMO
