Atmosphere is ill....pretty much any album

Gotta love Gangstarr...at least for DJ Premier, he's one of the best producer/DJ's that could use a lot more credit

Me personally, i'm into turntablism. Check out some new shit, listen to C2C...better yet watch them on youtube. If you've never seen a dj battle, let alone 4 dj's composing songs with just records, check it out. A lot of people think of hip hop too statically... "its just like rap." But underground hip hop dj'ing these days is so diverse you'll have to find something you like. There's a lot of rock influence, these days more than ever it seems. It's crazy what you can do with some good bud, 2 turntables and some good wax.
