Want some help refilling my ipod..

[Jano]

Ok I just received a new refurbished ipod after my other one died out on me. Lost 5000 songs so this was a big blow damn near wanted to cry when I found out that my ipod's harddrive was corrupted so there was no way to save the music.

And i've learned my lesson now never leave all your music on your ipod. Had this crap happen to me before but I just decided to chance it again and I got burned even worse this time. So now I got me 1TB hard drive to save all my music on from now on.

So now I wanted to get you guys help as I'm refilling it again. I listen to a lot of hip hop so that's what I'm going to want to have the most of, but I'll take some other genres if you think its good music that can appeal to someone that likes hip hop.

Right now I'm just looking for some of the essential albums like Illmatic, Ready to Die, etc. So any other classics you guys can think of that would be great.

I've got an 80GB ipod so i got a lot of space and right now I only have about 1500 songs. I'm also trying to find some new music too so any albums (underground or mainstream) that you guys feel are good for a few spins I'll take it.

Thanks in advance to those that reply..

Right now I'm listening to The Adventures of Bobby Ray (B.o.B.), Distant Relatives (Nas & Damian Marley), Recovery (Eminem), The Bar Exam 3 (Royce Da 5'9"), and The Pink Lavalamp (Charles Hamilton). Good time to be a Hip Hop fan.

Anticipating: LASERS!!

Listened to Skyzoo's Salvation and its nice the guy's got skills on the mic. Forgot that I had A Tribe Called Quest on my old one so i'm definitely goin to look for that again.

Anyways, thanks guys if you have any other albums that you can think please post it in. Lost so much music just trying to figure what exactly I had along with some new music.
