[DAVEILL1]

VA - Deep Concentration 2: Deeper Concentration

[badkitty3804]

It's good to see Low End Theory on so many people's lists.. I still stand by that as being the greatest hip hop album of all time.
It's even better live.

:catalyst:

[The Logic Theorist]

Hush you! We get it already. I've seen them at Lolapalooza 94 though.. I think you were 10 at the time.

[badkitty3804]

[Benson]

This list requires more thought than I am currently able expend..I've been listening to hip hop for 20 years! It'd be impossible! However, I can tell you that Green Lantern's "New York State of Mind" Beastie Boys mix is f'ing HOT! It hasn't left the disc changer in minute!

[the sex molesters]
