Most Hip Hop today is pure rubbish. The only good songs posted here is the common track and Classic.
The biggest Hip Hop happening this year will probably be the release of Immortal Techniques 3rd album "The Middle Passage". Can't wait for it to come, this guy is top notch in Hip Hop today when it comes to lyrics and rapping skills.

I know there is still good Hip Hop out there today. Immortal Technique like I mentioned is a good example. But the Hip Hop that is popular nowadays sucks pretty bad when it comes to everything.

In anycase, the new Talib Kweli album is pretty sick. The first song, Everything Man is definitely one of my favorites right now. His lyrics on it are outstanding.

but incidentally, my energy's heavenly can he be so ill? there ain't no deal on the remedy. the maker of memories, possess the recipe to your fate. make no mistake, there ain't no escapin' your destiny. especially 'til death do us part like wedding rings. i'll be here forever, put that on everything.

On the subject of lyrics, here's one of my favorite Weezy Baby snippets (and it shows that he is an actual lyricist):

you looking for divine and a little intervention, and them birds don't fly without my permission. i'm probably in the sky flying with the fishes, or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons, see... my world is different.

I like Immortal Technique's raw style of rapping. Also be sure to check out Killah Priest's new album - 'The Offering' when it comes out. I already heard that this is gonna be huge !! I can't wait !!

God what a long wait it is for The Middle Passage. It better be at least as good as Revolutionary vol 2.

Immortal Technique "the rawest nigga ever produced".

Hadn't heard the first 2 tracks before - really like 'em The 'common' track is awesome and i love anything that Nas touches.

Any chance you could post more of your recent favourites Cipha?

3 Melancholy Gypsies - Grand Caravan To The Rim Of The World would get my vote for one badass hip hop album

Yeah? I wasn't really a big fan of that, and I usually sweat anything Eligh does. I liked maybe 4 songs off that album.

Also, I really don't get all the love for Immortal Technique. His flow is extremely boring and he ALWAYS rhymes about the same things.

Slum Village should be releasing a new album soon. That will make me so happy. I think Elzhi is one of the best rappers out right now.

Eeek. I totally forgot...

The new Tragedy Khadafi album, The Death of Tragedy, is awesome. I don't know why a lot of the tracks are only a minute long, but it's still a dope album, if you can find it.
