Is Luniz - Silver & Black any good?

It really depends on how big of a Luniz fan you are I guess.

It's 11 tracks plus 1 bonus track, so it's really more of an EP. It has some dope tracks like Oakland Raiders and the one with Dru Down, but it also has it's fair share of weaker tracks or bland tracks just kind of aimed at the radio or club. So I would not pay full price for it cause they sell it like a full album. Maybe peep before you buy?

These two albums have the best cover art of the year for sure, SOM's art inside and out and on the CD are also ridiculously dope

AP.9 - Reality Check x 3!!!!

This CD is something serious. On the way back from Houston and all I did was repeat this one CD 3 straight times! I can never do that, I always have to switch the CD out after one spin for variety, but I am loving this CD something serious.

Panacea- The Scenic Route (some smooth shit)

Just went to FYE (the big store in my area is going out of business ) and grabbed:

Black Milk- Tronic
Black Eyed Peas- Behind The Front
Styles P- Time Is Money
Main Flow- Hip-Hopulation
Digable Planets- Reachin' (New Refutation Of Time & Space)
Das EFX- Hold It Down

Also, I grabbed the new Souls Of Mischief off of Amazon.

Ok folks I got $125 to work with from Christmas (75 Itunes and 50 Best Buy), give me some recommendations. I really haven't bought any hip hop since Clipse, BG, Wale, Rae, Jay Z, "Kamaal The Absract", Kid Cudi and "Chamber Music" from the Wu.

K-Rino if you dig him... I would rec Solitary Confinement on Itunes.

I've been on a single minded Mob Figaz trip lately so I don't have too many "diverse" recs to give out at the moment. Are interested in things you missed this year? Or just dopeness in general?

I just bought:

Cunninlynguists "Southernunderground"
Tech N9ne "K.O.D."
Muggs/Asia "Pain Language"

Glad that Cunninlynguists was re-released. I've been wanting some of their older albums but they're all over 50 bucks a piece. I should have peeped Tech N9ne a long time ago, "K.O.D." and "Anghellic" are both dope ass albums. For some reason i had always assumed he would be more pop than he is.

Way late on that "Pain Language" but i've just had it on the back burner.

I just ordered Pain Language on amazon the other day.. dope album is highsmith doesn't have it.

How are those last two? Haven't even heard them and was always interested. His 2nd is definitely a classic IMO. Maybe even his first...

Spins:

Royal Flush "Ghetto Millionaire"
Outkast "Aquemini"
Akrobatik "Absolute Value"
Cypress Hill "Temples of Boom"


That Royal Flush is a personal classic to me. I think he sounds alot like Nas and the beats here match him perfectly. Great album.

Keith Murray - Puff Puff Pass
Than I had to revisit God Made Dirt, cause of the two features on Murr. If you haven't heard this disc by Smigg Dirtee from 5 years ago you're sleeping if you're a fan of Likwit or Dialated.

Endemic-Terminal Illness
Rite Hook-E.ye A.ssume D.amage
Amadeus the Stampede-House of Broken Mirrors

Hey, little N3ro - what do you know about Hopsin?

Hopsin's dope, he's into storytelling and shit. I'm not feeling Gazing At The Moonlight as much as a lot of critics are/were, but it's dope. Why?

"Endemic-Terminal Illness
Rite Hook-E.ye A.ssume D.amage
Amadeus the Stampede-House of Broken Mirrors"

"Hey, little N3ro - what do you know about Hopsin?"

I don't think I've ever heard of any of said artists...

Endemic is a producer from Europe.

Rite Hook and Amadeus are both from Boston I think. I don't know where Hopsin is from, but he's got a real vintage east coast sound IMO. All of those were NecroHipHop rec's, that's the only reason I've heard of any of them. Same with Critical Madness, Freddy Madball, and and the Mad Child ep.

I saw his CD at Borders and saw he was Ruthless Records for this year. Looks like a horrorcoreish guy?
