One of the best come-down tunes of all time. Mos Def and Talib Kweli are simply amazing.

fav all time tune by mos def...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsihHoyqwWY[/youtube]

couple of years ago me and my friends were at a club in new york and this song came on for the last track of the night and here is these 3 aussie white boys singing these lyrics.......
"I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free
All my people to be free, to be free, to be free
Oh black people to be free, to be free, to be free" lol

but in saying that i had a black bird in shock cause to quote her "ya from australia and know mos def?!!" which resulted in her grabbing my head pashing me and from there the night got better and better.........ah happy days :D lol

All brothers and sisters should be free under the sun. If you know what the lyrics are about, then feel free to be critical and laugh at these Aussie Hip Hop kids.

Otherwise, I think it's cool they never felt embarrassed to express themselves. That's rare.

lol "the aussie white boys" were us mate...its wasn't till the next day we were talking about it and laughing everyone we were dancing with thought it was cool we knew the words!!!

Been checking out some Mos Def on Youtube - thanks for the tip. He's fucking brilliant.

Loving some of the solo stuff that the Wu Tang lot did as well.

Can't stop listening to Memory Lane by Nas. What a track.

The modern stuff can fuck right off.

[TheMightyQuinn]

1 - Public Enemy - Simply the most important and greatest hip hop group of all time.
2 - Wu Tang - A collective of some of the greatest rappers ever, one of whom also doubles as one of the best producers.
3 - A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders is flawless, Low End Theory isn't far behind.
4 - Paris - The only political MC who can hold a candle to Public Enemy.
5 - Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Classic material.
6 - The Beatnuts - 1st EP and LP were 10/10 classics.
7 - Redman - Psychedelic, funkadelic, 'The Jimi Hendrix of rap'
8 - EPMD - Flawless
9 - Diamond - For Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop an album of quality throughout.
10 - Big L - Punchlines, wit, could actually rap and had charisma unlike most dead rappers who were over rated and shit.

I've probably not listed my favourites, I'm tired.
