The Unseen by Quasimoto
1 recommendation
"madlib really bought respect back to west coast hip hop album. before he was known as an erykah badu producer he humbly created hip hop that moved you, just like back in the early to mid 90s but this time it came from a ca native. with muffled beats and his alter ego quasimoto, madlib created an album sure to be inducted into the hip hop hall of fame."
Fantastic, Vol. 2 by Slum Village: Music
1 recommendation
"RIP JDilla RIP Baatin this will forever and ever be a classic. i recall the first time i heard the album, when my roommate was bumping it and i sat in my room thinking WTH is that...I love it. from that moment on i became an addict to j-dilla produced tracks and the unconventional lyrical style of the trio. a must for all the real hip hop heads."
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
1 recommendation
"Named after a cult martial arts film, the collective of nine New York rappers are known as the Wu-Tang Clan. Following the release of this debut album in 1993, Wu-Tang Clan became one of the most influential hip-hop groups ever. One word: CLASSIC"
Tongue N Cheek: Dizzee Rascal
1 recommendation
"I'm not a huge rap fan, but Dizzee Rascal combines electronica beats with clever, witty rap lyrics to create danceable tunes that are as creative as they are fun. Yet another reason I wish I lived in London."
In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 - Jay-Z
2 recommendations
"Always Be My Sunshine was the song that introduced me to Jay-Z. Today it's still one of my favourite songs and he's still making great music. This album is a must-have for any Jay-Z fan."
The Blueprint 3: Jay-Z
4 recommendations
"This CD comes out September 11 but has been leaked on MTV and is prrrrrrrrretty amazing."
Ignition Remix: R. Kelly
1 recommendation
"I've recently been reminded that this isn't just one of my favorite songs of all time, but also it's one of the best of all time. I mean, it's hot and fresh out da kitchen."
Ladies and gentlemen…THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING
1 recommendation
"Free. Free. Free -- It's hard to find good music to buy, let alone for free. However, this mixtape (the '08 release from Wale) is some of the best stuff I've heard in a long time. It's super clever, fun, mashed up rap that personifies pop culture relevance. If you can't tell, he really likes Seinfeld."
The Ecstatic: Mos Def
2 recommendations
"I just started spinning this one and there is already some serious head bobbin' going on. I mean, if P4K give a rap album an 8, we all know I'm probably gonna dig it."
THE E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies): Black Eyed Peas
3 recommendations
"I'm slightly ashamed to say that I love Boom Boom pow."
Troubadour: K'naan
1 recommendation
"Another upbeat singer/rapper/hip-hop artist to kick off the summer. "ABC's" and "Bang Bang feat. Adam Levine" shine on this album and are definitely worth downloading. His lyrics are deep and almost poetic."
Atlantis: Hymns for Disco: K-Os
1 recommendation
"Quality, quality album. The best thing about K-Os is his range of musical abilities, from singing, to rapping, to playing multiple instruments. Not your ordinary hip-hop album, Atlantis is upbeat, fresh, and funky."
Country Grammar: Nelly
2 recommendations
"As I start the prep work for my "best summer albums list," many stand out. Others, like this one, are unquestionably destined for the list."
Harlem World: Mase
1 recommendation
"Is this the only album Mase put out? I don't know, it's the only one I know of. Really, I only remember one song, "Feel So Good." However, that single track is amazing enough to purchase the whole album"
Life After Death: The Notorious B.I.G.
2 recommendations
"This 1997 album just might be one of the more tragic (and completely awesome) albums ever released. That is, it was released just 2 weeks after B.I.G was murdered and features some of my all time favorite rap songs."
Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.: 2Pac
1 recommendation
"Prompted by a discussion about if he's alive or not, I was forced to look back at the musical past of Tupac. And frankly, it's a damn good (and completely corrupt) past. Is sophmore album probably remains my favorite."
Asleep in the Bread Aisle: Asher Roth
1 recommendation
"Uncrate tells us to "grab our drink and hold it up high -- the official soundtrack for Summer 2009 is here." I really hope not, but the way it's been circulating MTV, they're probably right. However, it is a packed with quasi-catchy tunes. It's like Eminem meets Shwayze, but slightly more intelligent (maybe)."
Notorious
1 recommendation
"Oh, thank God. We now have the chance to watch the true life story of our 3rd favorite rapper. It's smells a little corny, but hells yeah I'll watch it."
Hello Nasty: Beastie Boys
2 recommendations
"The most mindspliting sound blitz I've ever danced to. I love driving on the freeway with this one blasting."
Will Smith - Greatest Hits: Will Smith
2 recommendations
"I mean this CD is easily one of the best ever. Will Smith is a genius."
Paul's Boutique (20th Anniversary Edition): Beastie Boys
1 recommendation
"In retrospect, it's hard not to look back in awe at the genius that is Paul's Boutique. This, there second album, liberated them from the destiny of becoming a hallowed out gimmicky trio. For an anniversary release, it's simple, but in a good way. I think this is the perfect time to introduce a new generation to music of the late eighties."
Tonight :Franz Ferdinand
3 recommendations
"I've never been a glowing fan of Franz Ferdinand. I like, but just whatever. However, I have a floating policy to listen albums that get a 7 plus on pitchfork. This one pulled in at a 7.3. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm listening to some track on MySpace right now and I'm pleasantly grooving to them."
Kanye West - 808's & Heartbreak
3 recommendations
"Whoever cheated on Kanye certainly must hate herself now seeing as how in all of new songs he complains about her and all of his songs are a huge success. bad bad move."
Can I Live?: Nick Cannon
1 recommendation
"Mariah Carey finally finds love with Nick Cannon and he proceeds to get her name tattoed across his back. You can see that tatto from a good 5 miles away."
Tack Tack Tack Tee
1 recommendation
"Apparently, this is some Wutang schwag. But, I'm entirely too dorky to know anything about any of that. However, the design still leaves something to be admired. Simple, black and white, but a fun mix of images and type"
The Pitchfork 500
1 recommendation
"I'm a music fiend. I have to have it, research it, analyze it, consume it. And my musical tastes cross genres and centuries. To top it off, Pitchfork Media is my main source for learning about whats out there in the vast universe of music. So I absolutely will be purchasing this book. Its Pitchfork's list of the 500 best songs of the past three decades. Trust me, if you love music or know someone ..."

"Last Friday, young fashion designer Anne Brenneke slingshot herself with her graduate collection “Life After Death” - a series of larger-than-life quilt-portraits of past rap legends - in the pole-position. During 18 months of handcrafting, working only with vintage materials such as T-Shirts, knit sweaters and shirts, Brenneke manufactured highly elaborated, fascinating big and colorful quilts..."
Get Rich Or Die Tryin: 50 Cent
2 recommendations
""In Da Club" was the hit song at my 18th birthday party. Which was cool because it keeps talking about birthdays in it. However, 50 cent went a little far when he made a movie and took it a little farther with his new MTV show."
