Hopefully Mos Def's solo stuff will improve with the new Black Star.

That song will probably end up being on the Doom+Ghostface album.

I hope so, have you heard the song Angels?

I have. Once again, doom ruins another good song but Ghostface's verse was good.

I haven't heard any of the songs off of what could be on that album.

Re: fans of underground rap?

I used to listen to mainstream rap, but later on got turned off by it and just about everything on mtv, and have been into a lot of underground metal, jazz, classical, etc. One of my friends kinda helped me see that there was more to rap/hiphop than mtv, mainly in the underground. I wanted to kinda get into it, but never really made the effort. So I'm asking if you guys could introduce me to some good underground hiphop artists that focus more on poetic lyrics and good beats?

Re: fans of underground rap?

Okay, I have two quick questions.

1) Are there any fans of Will Smith when he was with DJ Jazzy Jeff?

2) Which album is the best place to start with for Run-DMC? I'm leaning towards their self-title debut or Raising Hell. Also, what are the bonus tracks on the expanded editions?

I am not into the Old School like I used to be, but mainly I was listening to Eric B. and Rakim, and EPMD...

As far as Jazzy Jeff is concerned... he is a talented DJ/Producer. His Album "The Magnificent" is great, and the song "For Da Love of Da Game" I believe is one of the 25 best rap songs of all-time (I made my own top 25... I'll post it soon).

2) Which album is the best place to start with for Run-DMC? I'm leaning towards their self-title debut or Raising Hell. Also, what are the bonus tracks on the expanded editions?

Again, not loving the Old School here, and I didn't like Run DMC too much... I feel like they were overrated just because they were pioneers. But I guess "Raising Hell" is the best option if you're into them.
