i just bought blazing arrows... this shit is amazing. i've seen them twice live... once opening for ben harper, once in a hot, crowded club in dublin. they are a blast and this album is one of the best damn hip hop albums i've heard since i started listening to the genre!

    Truly great album. If you dig Blazing Arrows, check out Nia.

    Check out Alphabet Aerobics........one of the first rap songs I have ever heard in which the tempo speeds up

    Nia is certainly their best after Blazing (some would say it's better) but it's obviously up to you :) The newer one is harder to get into. More abstract

    their dvd 4/20 seattle is wicked too. def my fav hip-hop act by a long shot, fuckin amazing, blazing arrow & nia are incredible. craft is really good too, just took me a little longer to get in to it. fav song would prob be release from blazing, EPIC!!

    I also recommend the Gift of Gab solo album. 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up.

    hell yeah.. this album is great!

    you want another amazing rap album that isn't "pop"?

    Deltron 3030! a concept album about the future (kinda like NIN Year Zero but not so much on the disaster side i guess)
