Absolute quality - right proper hiphop.

Soundbombing II....has to be heard to be believed. Beat Junkies on an awesome mix with some of the best contemporary MCs.

Me me me :D

Love(d) Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, RJD2 et al.. Cold Vein is one of my top albums no doubt.. haven't heard much new stuff.. not for months - what do you recommend apart from Soundbombing ?

Post

ooh Aesop Rock - he did Crooked with Evil Nine - top rapper. :) 8)

Was Soundbombing 2 mixed by Evil Dee, like the first one? He just did a Halloween party in NYC this past Saturday. I didn't go, but I heard he rocked it.
(Edit: sorry, just re-read your post...answered my own question)

Incidentally, I just picked up Jay-Z's "Black Album", but completely remixed by Pete Rock. Every modern hip-hop artist should have their album remixed by this guy.

Yes Soundbombing II is the shit.

And then III came out. OUCH

(Don't mean to hijack but anyone think the Murs 3:16 might be a little overrated?)

Rawkus has been in serious trouble the past couple of years. They may be out of business.

And a few of their artists, notably Mos Def and Talib Kweli, went over to Geffen.

BTW, Check out Mos Def's new record "The New Danger" Bananas! It's a rap/rock/soul/blues hybrid.

Cool, and for more entertainment read the Soundbombing III reviews at Amazon:

I actually heard 3 before 2 and thought it was ok.
Then I heard 2. 1st heard about Rawkus from Blackstar, I prefer Kweli ala Reflection Eternal, havent' heard Beautiful Struggle yet.

Me neither, but I'll be getting it this weekend!

After hearing bits hera and there I now own:

Soundbombing II - nuff said.
Talib Kweli + Hitek's Train of Thought - wicked
Company Flow Funcrusher Plus - wicked

Any other recommendations ?

The early MosDef album ?

What are the Lyricist Lounge albums like ?

Resounding yes! It has a song about the politics of water distribution, "New World Water"! Pick up the new one too, you won't be disappointed.
What are the Lyricist Lounge albums like ?
You'll like them!
