How long do you want the list to be?


B/w


Your list needs more DITC

 

[skel]

Please define "hip hop"

 

[Junior]

Please define "best"

 

[skel]

Please add:

1. Lupe Fiasco "Kick Push" because my kids like it.
2. Downtown Science "Room To Breathe" because it's about the only hip hop record I ever consciously went out to score.

Duder and Junior to school me again on definitions of rap and hip hop, and ulysses31 to wrap it up amid talk of tribes, ways of life and that.

Be careful what you post. Hip hop is considered "electronic music". Not everybody's cup of tea around here.
