The issue with Nas' album is beats and production.. It's almost as if he recorded the bars then Kanye flipped a coin and chose a random beat for each song.

If you consider yourself a hip-hop head, check out Stretch & Bobbito - Radio That Changed Lives. £3.49 to rent on Amazon. The Wu-Tang series is pretty good too; Of Mics and Men.

Ocean Wisdom is fast becoming one of my favourite UK MCs without a doubt. Wizville was such a strong album I'm looking forward to his next bit of work.

Wizville wasn't all that good imo. Few decent tracks on there; Don was the best though. That Pete Cannon beat was banging.

I have a lot of time for Token at the moment. Came across his Fire In The Booth and looked up a couple of freestyles he had done, then nabbed both of his albums. Clever kid.


And this video is ace. Top cinematography on an ultra-low budget.

Yesss! I had their back in business and out of business albums. Haha I was a little G!

Damn dizzee coming back hard! Never rated him... #jeees

I don't think he ever fell off. He just chased that Calvin Harris money.

I actually think I prefer his verse on this

Can anyone recommend any songs or even instrumentals which are of the same ilk as this?

21 years old and yet this song always finds its way onto my playlists. Those trumpets.... I feel Outkast were never as popular as they should've been
