Laibach - Opus Dei (This album gives me an erection, SUCH good stuff)
Lead Into Gold - Chicks, Speed & Futurism
The Prodigy - Just a bunch of cool b-sides and remixes

Seven Ark - Noise of the New
Marumari - Supermogadon
R A V E L
Dr. Dre - Chronic
Wu Tang Clan - The Sting
RZA - RZA hits (one of the best producers ever I think)

Notorious B.I.G.- Ready To Die
Depeche Mode- Singles 81-85

And last but not least…TONS and TONS of Ministry!
Never thought Ministry fans would be so into hip-hop. Really interesting

I always look at music like this… there’s two types of music: good and bad.

Agreed. I can’t stand most rap music, but there are a few albums out there I appreciate and enjoy from time to time. Arrested Development’s first album and Public Enemy’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back come to mind, as well as Straight Outta Compton by NWA. Above The Law’s “Freedom Of Speech” is a cool tune, as is Merlin’s “Drop The Pressure”. I also like Beastie Boys, and pretty much all the rap tunes in the movie Office Space (except for Take This Job and Shove It).

Rap’s gotten a bad name from what RZA calls R’n’B - Rap and Bullshit. There’s a lot of good underground and old rap/hip hop with true MCs, who also possess brilliant production talents. They invented the concept of remixing and sampling.
Edit: soul driver, I agree: Liquid Swords is a classic album. I won’t ever get bored of that. GZA’s lyrics/MCing and RZA’s production - it rarely gets better than that. GZA calls himself Genius - he is right…
Marillion - “Brave”
5ive’s Continuum Research Project - “The Hemophiliac Dream”
Lurker Of Chalice - S/T
Ice - “Under The Skin”
NFD - “No Love Lost”
+whatever unsigned bands send me to review
Speaking of rap and hip-hop, I adore M.I.A.'s Arular. [cool]
P.S. Afra we need some more emoticons.

yep MIA is one hot bitch, and her music turns me on [:P]
As with most music i like the rap i heard back in high school better than anythng out now… my personal fav rap record is A Tribe Called Quest’s first cd “People’s Instinctive Travels & The Paths Of Rhythm”. i’m also fond of some older rap like EMPD, Eric B. & Rakim, Del tha funkee homosapien, and wu-tangs first cd.
shit if you guys like rap and want something with a heaping of interesting influences go get some DALEK, these guys are pretty sick and did a fucking split with faust. there are a couple other acts doing the more intelligent rap music route, hahaha.
ATCQ are great! Can’t decide from their first 3 albums which one I like best. I most own at least 100 hip hop cds…Mos Def has been getting alot of plays lately, especially his experimental “the new danger” which has tons of rock (hendrix_ influence, blues, jazz, and other styles. Really great stuff. I love alll of Outkast’s stuff too.
as of right now:
animositisimonia
which has grown on me ALOT these past few days.
Apart from Young MC’s ‘Bust A Move’ and the rap break during New Kids On The Block’s ‘Dirty Dog’ song, I think hip hop music sucks to high heaven.
how about roxanne roxanne…wanna be your man… [tongue]
jeez, what are you guys gonna do with all those cds when you get older/die ?
i’ve got about 400 albums on my mp3 player, all the music that i still like since the mid 90’s
got today in the mail:
lead into gold- chicks and speed, age of reason
primal scream- sonic flower groove, xtrmntr
