Ah to hell with it, life is short. Just ordered this load from Amazon, even though I can't really afford it. They were selling loads of classic hip-hop cheap.

Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full


Method Man - Tical


Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt


Talib Kweli - Reflection Eternal

King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader


Mf Doom - Special Herbs: The Box Set vol. 0-9 (3CD)


Yes! I'd be a lot better of financially if the internet had never been invented, but I'd also be much less happy...

got a dead machines/blue sabbath black cheer tape the other day. its really good stuff, totaly worth $5.

why waste time on the microphone

12" single:

This is now definitely one of my favourite hip-hop albums ever. My favourite Wu-Tange album for sure.

"I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible
But when I swing my swords they all choppable
I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
Child educator, plus head amputator"

Yes!

last album i bought was at the drive-in relationship of command
anyone else heard that?

For me it was "Veckatimest" by Grizzly Bear.

Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises in the East (double vinyl)


You can't stop the prophet...

^That record is great. His 2nd is really good too. Lost track/interest after that though.

Seems classic. Also just Amazon ordered:

Beans featuring William Parker and Hamid Drake - Only



Mos Def and Talibe Kweli are Black Star

 

I really really need to stop spending money. My finances are completely spiralling out of all reasonable control lately, primarily going on music...

Also:

Talib Kweli - Quality


J Dilla - Donuts


OK. STOPPING NOW!

the first song arcarsenal I think, is my favorite pumped up intro song

No one bought the Dave Matthews album? Silly cunts. You know you love it.

At the NYD show last night:

10" EP:

just got in the mail, vinyl.

His first two are far away his best.

Good buy.

Women, at the gig yesterday.
I got it signed by the singer, I had a brief chat with him, too. A nice dude.

Yeah, it's pretty damn fantastic. Premier is on the top of his (considerable) game, and Jeru's flow is really distinctive and tight. The second verse on "D. Original" is fucking classic:

"Before trains were graffiti proof I used to get loose
Dirty rotten since the days of the deuce
Dirty, because of the skin I'm in
The fact I have melanin automatically makes me a felon
Even though I'm righteous, rotten's what you're yellin
But I'm not chain-snatchin, or drug-sellin
According to your books you said I would be damned like Ham
Scoundrel opposite of the king that I am
But wanna get funny, we can get bummy
Take you to the East and back again money
Filthy putrified trick, step past your sister
Challenge the Damaja, and you'll be history
Mortal Kombat fatality, the original don't sing no R&B
Nasty MC deity
Chop off domes with the poems that come out of my pin-eal
gland, as I expand, you know who I am"

So good!
