    I want some good, not too old music from Mos Def, Nas, Common, Talib Kweli, Andre 3000

    Kinda getting tired of this mainstream shitty ass music nowadays, need something new to jam to.

    Thanks

    Pick up some old "pre-Kanye" Common albums.

    Pick up some One Be Lo.

    Buy every Tribe Called Quest album ever put out. That should keep you busy.

    If you want both Mos Def and Talib Kweli, you know they made an album together in '98 right? They formed a group called Blackstar (album was self-titled), it was a one time album, and it was pretty amazing.

    Dre Day (Classic, will never die)
    Lil Wayne - Best Rapper Alive (just heard it the other day, it's a little old)
    Young Jeezy - My president is black (gets old after you hear it a few times, all of Jeezy's songs do)

    Your getting to the age where a lot of rap is getting repetitive. Expand your taste, just don't start listening to country or old folk music.

    You need to get "Eat or Die" and "Mange Ou Mourir" from Rass Kass. They've been haunting me for the last 2 months. Sickk songs. Common's album "Be" is great and Cunninlynguists' "A Piece of Strange," the whole album is great.

    A little bit of offtopic, but what are Kanye's best songs in your opinion guys ? For me it's Heard Em Say, Touch the Sky, Drive Slow, Diamonds Are Forever and Gold Digger.
    I mean, he's not a rapper anymore, he's a dickriding ***got r'n'b singer. He used to be good, though.
