I had a dream that I met Jay Electronica last night. Instead of being starstruck I started clowning on him for some reason. He wasn't offended, he just gave this look like "what is wrong with this dude?" and then I drifted into the next vignette in dreamspace.

And yeah, The Infamous is great. Havoc came with some mad insane classic beats on that album too, of course. And don't forget Q Tip also produced this atmospheric banger that I love:

And this is off that Busta mixtape:

Ahh yes, Temperature's Rising, some of the best storytelling I've ever heard in a song. I heard a few joints off that Busta tape, they're nice, always gotta love Tip's production.

Do you happen to be a fan of Jurassic 5? They're an LA based alternative hip hop group like The Pharcyde. They have some dope tunes.

Also, RIP to Lord Infamous. Three 6 Mafia had some bangers back in the day.

Eh, J5 are cool I guess, but that kind of non-offensive student throwback rap is not really my bag too much. They are pretty much the favourite rap group of every white university student though. I prefer early Dilated Peoples, they are a similar kind of group but had a grimier sound.

According to DJ Premier this beat was originally offered to Kanye for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but when it was turned down bumpy knuckles got it instead.

Mos Def is the freaking shiznit. Also, beat provided by a Japanese DJ. Hence the Japanese part in Mos' lyrics.

@mue I prefer when Eli Porter went on that beat. :lol:

On the subject of guilty pleasures, I don't really believe in that. If you like it why feel guilty? I'm not shy about my love for pop music. I would however understand it if a lesser man was hesitant to admit bumping the following:

I'm not like seriously guilty, it's just that there were no particularly good rappers in Dipset, and they were really pretty naff in actuality, but- and I guess it's mainly due to the beats- I occasionally enjoy their stuff.
