Reflection Eternal is a must hear for any real hip hop heads. Hi Teknology 2 and J Dilla's recent album were also very good.

Hi Teknology 2 is amazing! I picked this up when it dropped and it's still a regular in the Hi-Fi.

I liked J Dilla's effort too.

It certainly ****in was. I love 'laugh,love,****', 'my favorite mutiny' and 'i love boosters'.
but I don't really listen to it, no.
Because you generally dont like it or cause you aint heard that much of it?

If yer fancy giving some UK ish a go you should listen to:

Skinnyman - a council estate of mind

Roots Manuva - awfully deep

Ty - upwards

Jehst - the return of the drifter...


I can up all of the albums I've suggested if needs be btw.

I just haven't heard that much of it. I've heard a few Roots Manuva tracks and they're pretty solid. I'd appreciate it if you could up some albums mate.

His beats are insane. He is one of the hottest producers out there, and he can hold his own on the mic too. He stood up to it when he was rapping with Nas on his last album, showing he's no pushover.

Are you thinking of 'The streets - dry your eyes'.

Here's some of the lyrics to it:


In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground
Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down
World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

I've not heard that album, but I've been listening to his 'Black Rob report' over the last couple of days. Good album. My favourite track of his is easily 'Permanent scars'.

Yeah I used to love Immortal Technique but I've gone off him a bit now.

You should listen to some Jean Grae as well. She's imo the best female mc but to label her a just a female mc is a bit unfair really as she is ****in amazing and would compare favourably against most mc's you could care to mention.

He needs to release some new material.

I'm downloading some of her stuff now. Does she compare to Lauryn Hill?

I prefer her to Lauren Hill. Jean Grae has consistently been releasing good **** whereas Lauren only had the miseducation of... They've got different styles though so its all subjective really.

Jean Grae's best album is probably her debut, 'The attack of the attacking things'.

I like Lauryn Hill and her debut/only album, and I think Grae is actually on her level. I'm quite surprised by her!

Thanks for the album.
