Oh yea, I forgot to comment about that. I dug it. are there any albums I can check out? To get a full understanding of what they're trying to do musically.

Yeah man, i just picked some of the better tracks from the albums i have. You could check out "P-Money-Big things", "Decepticonz-Elimination" and "Dubious Bros-Trade secrets". I cant upload anymore because i have a bandwith cap at work and dial up at home but i can post some copies if you like.

I don't want it to be too much of a problem, but whatever you can hook up will be much appreciated.

It's not a problem man. But i can understand if you are weary of giving out address's. I'll see what i can do. 🙂

what you guyz think is Kool Keiths best album?

I haven't heard all his albums.

If I had to pick I'd probably go with Dr Octagon, though.

I havent heard any of his solo stuff, but i used to love his verses when he was with Ultramagnetic Mc's. I've got their "Critical Beatdown" and "Funk your head up" albums on vinyl. He had a very unique style back in the day but now loads of Mc's use it.

My favorite solo from him is Sex Style.

sex style was a good album^ same with Dr. Octagon and Matthew. 👆

i didn't like Diesel Truckers much...

I've been listening to alot of Mc's from DefJux recently, Mr Lif, Akrobatik and of course Aesop. They seem to have a wealth of talent on that label, i see they have C-Rayz signed as well. Mr Lif has blown me away, i havent bought any of his albums yet, what do you guys recommend? Also have you heard Gift of Gab's solo album? I heard some great things about it but i think i trust the opinions of you guys more.

There was one point where it looked like Def Jux was going to rule hip-hop. They released classic after classic, but cooled off. Still a great label, but they haven't hit that peak again. Hopefully some more Cold Vein's, Deadringer's, and Fantastic Damages are on the way.

Lif is great. If you're looking to purchase an album get I Phantom. After that grab his EP's if you can find them.

The Gab album was good. I admit it didn't meet my expectations, but they were really high. Worth a purchase if you're a fan of Blackalicious.

Cool, thanks man.

Is MF Doom's Doomsday out of print? I've been looking all over for it and I haven't had any luck.

Yea, it's impossible to find unless you want to pay a really high price and get it on ebay.

El-P is my hip-hop god, love Def Jux.

I'd say Emergency Rations for Mr. Lif, it's much shorter and tighter than I Phantom. And because it's only 8 tracks, every song is literally amazing. Cheaper too.

I found it through pure luck in a used record store last year, got it for $5.
