Let Us Play (CD/Ninja Tune, 1997. Used 2 CDs ... Just Sold Out!
Matt Black & Jonathan Moore were some of the first to peddle the non-hip hop remixologist tip back in the late 80s – and 10 years later, they're still on the top of their craft with this complicated set of grooves, breaks, and turntable tricks for Ninja Tune! The set includes the tracks ... (New Grooves, Hip Hop) read more CD
Dilated Peoples —
Platform ... CD Capitol, 2000. Used ... $3.99
Neo-classic boombap from Dilated Peoples –a team rooted strongly in time-honored group rap, compelling beats and turntablism – setting out to live up to the classic craft rather than re-invent the wheel, and deliver the goods track for track here! Not quite as nostalgic as the more ... read more CD

Divine Styler —
Spiral Walls Containing Autumns Of Light ... CD Giant, 1992. Used ... $9.99
This is really some different sh*t. Divine Styler takes abstract to the next level, about as out as you can get and still be hip hop, if this is hip hop – playing a ton of instruments himself, and backed by a live band for the most part, singing and delivering spoken word as often as he's ... read more CD

Nas —
Hip Hop Is Dead ... CD Def Jam, 2006. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Leave it to career iconoclast Nas to declare Hip Hop Is Dead on his Def Jam debut – a defiantly straight up hip hop record that's one of the leanest full lengths he's delivered since his abbreviated debut masterpiece! Hip Hop Is Dead, not surprisingly, is actually a very lively LP – ... read more CD
NERD (Neptunes) —
In Search Of...(Live US version) ... CD Virgin, 2002. Used ... $3.99
The Neptunes' first release as NERD! The music and verses are completely different from their big hits productions for others in the early 00.

Outkast —
Stankonia ... CD LaFace, 2000. Used ... $2.99
Probably the most hyped hip hop album by rock critics of the last decade – but don't hold that against Stankonia, because these ghetto grooves from planet P-Funk were exactly what world needed in 2000!

Roots —
Illadelph Halflife ... CD Geffen, 1996. Used ... $3.99
The second major label set from The Roots, and what many consider their first and definitely not their last) irrefutable classic!

Hokey Fright ... CD Rhymesayers, 2013. Used ... $5.99
