Brimz .. recommend me some rap you think i'd like and I'll give it a go. the only artist i can say I've ever been taken by was some Andre Nickatina a yank buddy sent me about 10 years ago. I know and kinda like Public Enemy & NWA n stuff like that, not interested in Snoop & Dre type stuff tho ... Loved The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy back in the day. I should probably look into Michael Franti's other incarnations and solo stuff. i loathe R N B tho, if that's any help
Andre Nickatina - Ayo
Andre Nickatina - The Al Capone Suit
also ... do you remember this rave/dance track from the early 1990's?
Earth Leakage Trip - No Idea
and the doors are where the windows should be ... and the windows are where the doors should be ... x infinite loop
I fucking

it lots. if there's any track that sorta replicates my memory of trippin in the early 90's, it's this, mainly the sample 'the windows are where the doors used to be' ... I remember I was always trying to make sense of various seemingly nonsense things in that exact same way, repeating things back to myself a million times before giving up ... coupled with fits of inevitable giggles
[great poltergeist sample too]
mailmonkey, can you remember it?
