one of my english professors called biggie a "rapster" once, and i almost died trying not to laugh. anyway, this list is full of random hip-hop and rap-related goodness.

Lyrics Born - Everywhere at Once

First to recommend

Description

bay area mc/producer lyrics born drops his second lp. it's been a while since later that day... and his appearance on quannum's top-notch spectrum comp, but it's worth it.

lb is blessed with one of the most pleasant voices in rap--his burbly mumble can jump to a strident yelp and drop to a smoker's whisper with an amazing fluidity. play this with your parents in the car and they'll say "now this i like," complete with exaggerated head bobs and finger snaps. but please don't take that as a knock--this is just a great, big happy hip-hop album. the production is as funky as ever, and jurassic 5's chali 2na even bows in for a guest verse on 'hott 2 deff'.

Can't Stop Won't Stop

Description

an excellent primer on the history of hip-hop. maybe a little heavy on the east coast at the expense of other regions, but it's hard to fault that choice.

8 Diagrams - Wu-Tang Clan

First to recommend

Description

i'm convinced that all the "oh everybody in wu-tang hates the production" bit was just to hype the album. another great lp from the wu. this is what rap-rock could have been.

(full disclosure: i loved edan's beauty and the beat, so take that into consideration)

Nas - Illmatic

First to recommend

Description

maybe the best rap album of the '90s. top 10, for sure. one of the most-sampled albums, too ("it's yours!" from "the world is yours").

i miss the 90s sometimes.
