This is Lupe Fiasco's American Terrorist feat. Matthew Santos taken from Lupe's debut Food and Liquor.

Overall a very nice track, one of the better lyrical ones on the album.

My "Mixtape"

As i said before i spend a lot of time on Yahoo! Answers, especially on the Rap Hip Hop section. Most newcomers or strangers to the section think that this section is where we can questions like, "When is Eminem's New CD droppin?", or "What is the name of this song?". Instead, it's more like questions like "Rap Hip Hop Game?" or "Most annoying Troll in this section?" or "Low End Theory > Midnight Marauders, Buy Or Sell?" For most regs the RHH section, we use this question to play games or test each other's knowledge or hip hop and sometimes just to debate topics.

My question that caught my eye was, "RHH Mixtape?" and it was a game. You had too just put iTunes on shuffle and choose the first 15 songs that would be your mixtape.
Anyways here is mine...
1. Slick Rick- Adults Only
2. Jim Jones- We Fly High (Ballin')
3. Kanye West- Breathe In Breathe Out
4. Lupe Fiasco- Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)
5. Atmosphere- Glasshouse
6. Nas- Hate Me Now
7. Immortal Technique- Freedom of Speech
8. KRS-One- The Eye Opener
9. Ghostface Killah- Dogs of War
10. Pete Rock- Let's Go
11. Talib Kweli- Hip Hop is...
12. Papoose- Stylin'
12. T.I - Live Your Life
13. Q-Tip- Shaka
14. Jedi Mind Tricks- Godflesh
15. Nas- The World Is Yours

Yeah i just thought that was pretty cool...

Peace

More youtube!

Wow yes! I finally got my Hotspot Shield to work so i might as well post up a bunch of Youtube links while i can! :D

Okay... Down here we have Cunninlynguists- The Gates (feat. Tonedeff) from one of my all-time fav albums, A Piece of Strange. Kno's production on this track is amazing. He uses several loops, strings (guitars i think) and a mysterious backdrop of a girl singing/wailing. Lyrically this song is deep, as it deals with a man meeting God at "The Gates" and talking about his life, raising his baby girl alone, his inner struggles etc... Also guest Tonedeff who plays the man does so superbly with matchless flow and emotion.
My favourite track from A Piece of Strange and one of my favourite Cunninlynguists songs.

Best Albums of the 1st Quarter

For those of you who don't know, K'Naan is a one of a kind rapper, born in Somalia he later immigrated to New York before settling down in Toronto, Canada. Troubadour is his 2nd studio album, in his 2nd album, K'Naan again deals with a wide range of topics from his childhood to Somalian Pirates. That said, his sound moves more from rap to alternative rap, or more popish. Guests include Kirk Hammett (of Metallica), Chubb Rock, Mos Def, Chali 2Na, Damian Marley and Adam Levine (of Maroon 5). Production was also pretty solid from Track and Field. 8.5/10

CunninLynguist's first concept album A Piece of Strange is an amazing piece of work, and the emcees from the south again live up to expectations. This albums deals with a man's struggles with raising a baby girl alone, right and wrong in addition to quoting multiple bibical references. Guests include Immortal Technique, Tonedeff and Cee-Lo, in addition the production by Kno is amazing. He's use of loops, horns and keyboards add to the albums depth. 9/10.
