If you like hip hop you should check out The Knux. They are a great new hip hop group. They are rock influenced and they write with/play guitars and synthesizers in their music.

I need to revive this because of my love of hip-hop and some of the bashing of it I have seen lately.
I want to share one of my favorite hip-hop songs of all-time:
DJ Shadow-The Number Song
among dreams we're best friends/while in life we float apart
Zomg this crap takes no talent. They just make random on talent rhymes about drugs and prostitutes.
Cleveland Browns 5-11 (next whenever they start playing again)
Peyton Hillis = The Albino Rhino
I've been really digging Del tha Funky Homosapien, Deltron 3030 (also Del), and Aesop rock.
oh.
I love Del. Anyone who hasn't heard him should check out my request thread in the USL forum~

Digable Planets are the best hip-hop group ever.
Would you pay for music by Beck?
Maybe.
What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
Sure.
Good, because he needs the money.
