Just recently discovered Tech N9ne... I'm not really big into hiphop these days, but this CD's a lot of fun.

The new The Hold Steady album is quite delectable.

[brettac1]

Yeah, that's probably my new #3. Great album, like always from them.

Alejandro Escovedo's new disc has really grown on me... moved into my favorites of the year... wish I had been there to see him at Summerfest...

[LordBeerMeStrength]

Nice Topic, I usually listen to hip hop of the underground variety, and these are mine.

 

1 Atmosphere "When Life Gives You Lemon's You Paint that S&^% Gold"

2. Mac Lethal "11:11"

3. Grieves "Inedible"

 

You might not have heard of the groups, but there pretty solid.

Rhymesayers for life.

Atmosphere's new album was pretty good, but I think I like YCIHMFWH better.

Man, he was SO great. And yeah, "Real Animal" is probably in my top 10 now, too. He's a treasure.

[BrewCrewForever]

For me I have enjoyed:

 

Radiohead "In Rainbows"

 

Vampire Weekend "Vampire Weekend"

 

Shinedown "The Sound of Madness"

 

NIN "The Slip"

 

Eddie Vedder "Into The Wild"

[Crazyk1294]

Shinedown "The Sound of Madness"

 

 

I agree, great album. A lot of the lyrics seem to be a jab at their ex-guitarist...
