--- Quote from: heretic ---i went to this RJD2 show in NO last year and diplo and lyrics born were opening, i'd never heard of either of them, and diplo was pretty good, but LB stole the damn show. RJ was excellent but LB and his wife are amazing. (wierd thing was, for RJ's second encore, he played and sang a song on acoustic guitar)
saw LB again later that year, not as good, but his bassist was sick

Oddly enough, I saw RJD2 and LB last night, and I thought that LB was a loudmouth, self-important ass with absolutely NOTHING to bring, musically, lyrically, or otherwise.
RJD2 is amazing, especially when he lets loose and throws something fresh and original together. His second set reminded me a lot of "Constant Elevation Say," but crazier, including the coolest breakdown of "Chicken Bone Circuit" ever.
I discovered recently that Mobb Deep joined G-Unit. This made me very sad...Mobb Deep and NaS are the only reasons to listen to Gangsta Rap.
The RZA has done some awesome stuff. Check out the Ghost Dog soundtrack.
I find it interesting that someone was turned off by the braggadocio in El-P's "Fantastic Damage," seeing as that wasn't at all the point of that album. I suspect that it could grate on some people, but it practically felt like industrial noise at times, which I rather enjoy.
No one's mentioned Cannibal Ox yet. Vast Aire is an awesome MC - mixing the braggadocio with metageekery and with impossibly good wordsmithing to boot. He's appeared on everyone else's stuff (on Def Jux, anyway - "Dr. Hellno and the Praying Mantus," anyone?) and "Cold Vein" is one of the finest Hip-Hop albums yet crafted.
And if you're getting Experimental, Ninja Tune stuff is great. Kid Koala, Coldcut, Hexstatic...all amazing turntable/audio collagists. To say nothing of Krush, Shadow, etc.
La Creme:
I can't live wifout my:
MF Doom/Victor Vaughn/Madvillain/any other name he go by
Dalek
Atmosphere
A Tribe Called Quest
Deltron 3030 (Some guy left a CD of his in my friend's car one time, and i took it home. I give it my milk every night. And by that I mean I haven't listened to it in a long time. It's time to pick that shit up.)

Fo Realz? That's kinda lame. Doesn't stop The Infamous being one of my favourite albums ever though.
On another note, YNR Productions is an amazing label. It has Jehst, Tommy Evans, Klashnekoff, Yungun and Evil Ed. That's some of the best UK Hip-Hop around all on one label. Madness.
