Len B's Favorite Rap CD's Since 2000 **FINALLY COMPLETE**

[Fox1994]

Better not be a bunch of Weezy/Gucci trash shit on there, now. Seriously. You've got some quality psuedo-independent stuff... Chamillionaire shouldn't be on there, but 'Ye, Common, they should stay, I think.

 

[Len B]

My newer list will probably fit your style better, if that's the case.

 

[Yawkey Way]

i would rather see the list than hear about it.


just a thought

#30: Strange Fruit Project - Soul Travelin' (2004)

Rap group out of Waco, Texas, this 2004 release had such a good vibe to it. Sound reminds me of Little Brother, which is always a good thing. This is their debut album, and didn't get much exposure but is well worth the look.

Forgot you had the patience of a 15 year old.

Oh wait...

The Documentary better be on this the 2nd time around. Classic album.

Will have all 30 done by New Years Day... just had to focus any available time I had lately to getting VSN moved over. On with the show:

#29 Kidz in the Hall - The In Crowd (2008)

If you asked me which rap duo had the most potential coming up in the next five years, I'd have to go with Kidz in the Hall. This duo, to me, should be the next in line when you think of duos such as Eric B & Rakim or Pete Rock & CL Smooth.

Naledge on the mic is nasty, and Double O's beats give you high quality mainstream music. They are young and have a crazy amount of potential. Naledge would easily make my list of up and coming elite MC's if I were to make that list (hmm...). With dope guest spots such as Phonte, Sean Price, Camp Lo, Masta Ace, Buckshot, and Black Milk this CD is just a great listen.
