Let's consolidate all talk of new albums, favorite artists, concert reviews etc . . . in this thread.

Anyone pick up any new Hip Hop albums lately?

I picked up the new Rhymefest and Jurassic 5 albums last week. I'm much more of a J5 fan but they should have name this last album "Sellout" instead of "Feedback" I'm enjoying the Rhymefest album much more. There is a song on there called "Devil's Pie" which makes good use of a Strokes sample.

Hey pick up Giant Panda's album... you can get it on itunes... well worth the money, only $10 bucks. Not to mention my boy is in the group Really it will be the best ten bucks you spend on music this month, promise. We were actually down at the 21st Street Bar and Grill on friday and someone from Salt Lake recognized him and came up to him singing GP's praises... kinda funny to see a stranger gush over my boy Alex

here is their myspace page

Time Machine's Page

I was at everyday music the same night and saw Method has a new album coming out... its prolly gonna blow big time though...

BUT

Alex's friend, who is in another good hip-hop group Time Machine, said that the buzz about The Root's new album is huge.

Another interesting piece of knowledge is Premier apparently produced at least half of Christina Aguilera’s new album... interesting...

I think Meth's album will be a return to form, from what I've heard. He's back w/ the RZA which is always good news.

WU-TANG IS FOR THE KIDS!

Do you know if the RZA is the working producer or the executive?

I believe both. I know he's doing beats. Meth was pissed off with the last album and P.Diddy's choices. I think he was still reeling from having a sitcom and right guard commercials.
