For a long while I have been stalling on getting some hip hop up on this blog, why I have no idea but tonight I have cracked the egg and started off with the very best. Here are the FIVE GREATEST hip hop songs ever recorded, in order. If you read this blog leave a comment somewhere tell me if you agree with this list or if I have missed anything...
Stay tuned for some album reviews on other great hip hop including some more modern stuff. Although it must be said, this stuff above has not yet been overtaken by anything since. Talk about influential. Another track I wanted to add here was Watcha Want by Beastie Boys but I couldn't embed the video, I would think it would rank as number 6, or certainly one of their other tunes might be in 6th spot, but as for 7 to 10 well it's wide open so any comments readers? Whatcha want in 6 - 10 spot??

Been Awhile
Well its been a long time between posts, been busy with my PhD and other shit so here are a few to make up for lost time.
Mastadon. CRACK THE SKYE
OK if your not into WAY HEAVY tunes then forget about this. If you like Slayer, Metallica, Pantera and other more recent bands of a similar ilk (most of whom in my view are shite) this is an album you will learn to love. Not all tracks are winners but most of them are. These guys are worth knowing about. Smart, talented and well produced. No rubbish here this stuff is a job for these guys and you can tell they love it.
Air. LOVE 2
Don't judge a book by its cover. What were these guys thinking with this cover shot? Abba? Yikes. Not to worry because inside is one of the better albums I have heard in a long while. I read a review that said Air were establishing themselves as the modern equivalent of early Pink Floyd with this release. I think that's a bit ambitious but this album is certainly very good. Their last release was interesting but suffered from being overly atmospheric. This album is way more punchy and catchy and quite different from most of the sharp edged electro going around at the moment.
