More awesome-ness in the form of hip hop, this time from The CunninLynguists (awful name, but dont let that put you off)... Quite laid back, but head boppin' beats and smooth flows, and a nice album to blaze one up to. Features guest appearences by the likes of Cee-Lo Green, and one of our most favourite humans ever - Immortal Technique, so you know you should blag this just because he's on it... Most of the album has that kind of 'put yr feet up' vibe going on, but theres a couple of more energetic jumpers on here, like (my fave) 'Hellfire' - based on cut up loops from The Crazy World of Arthur Browns classic rock song 'Fire'... Another great hip hop record you may have passed over, so nows yr time to ch-ch-check it out...

Dave Heroes says: Its Sunday, burn one up and play this as the rain falls outside... Hmmm, yo, most satisfying.

This is EXACTLY what we want from our hip hop. One of the finest rap albums ever, offensive, humourous, political, conspiracy tinged & and down-right cool as fuck. All the tracks on this album are killers, but the real stand out ones (for me at least) are Peruvian Cocaine - which tells the story of fucked up the coke trade is, You Never Know - a heart breaking tale of falling in love with someone who is dying, The Cause of Death - which is about the Sept 11th attacks, and the raw & in-yer-face Obnoxious. Infact, its hard, they're all fucking great. Great beats, great ryhmes, just get it, ok?
