Why not check REAL heads like Mos Def, Common, De la, or Radiohead or hell even the Tragically Hip. Those fuckers are a dime a dozen. I know 30 of them on TO alone, stick to the real hip hop or jump on the bling banwagon. Crypic souls was a decent group of dudes, too bad they turned into fuckers.....
For the record - GREED IS NOT A VIRTUE
just cause they can make tons of $$4 it doesn't make them smart, or good, or artists in any capacity. Fuck, Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis - Jaz-z has to sample these guys just to sound fresh. oh, and I was in Trinidad when Jay-z filemd his vidoe for Big Pimping, he edited out everyone who wasn't white and was afraid of the crowd. cause he's a pussy.
