A local group called Dove - dunno if they have any albums out cos I only have a dodgy bootleg. Full-on rock meets funny/abusive lyrics

Big L - Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerous

LOL he said an album that nobody knows of, anybody who listens to hip hop knows who big l is

You wish. I'm not saying no one has heard of Big L, but he got VERY little commercial exposure. Not one hip-hop fan that I know personally has ever even heard of Big L, let alone hear a song by him.

If Big L was well known, when people mention raps legends, they wouldn't be excluding him. He was one of the biggest influences in NYC rap.

Well right, you're the exception to the rule being in NYC.

But yea man L was crazy. Jay-Z is pretty sick in "Da Graveyard", and I've heard that 8 min freestyle, but i don't have it on my computer

you know where i can get it?

Nice, nice, nice that was sweeet! Cheers, gonna find some more of this guy.

Do you know 'Gentleman'? A (white) german conscious dancehall purveyor...he's not really unknown, been around since about '99 (afaik) his album 'Confidence' is huge (and excellent!). He's had collabs with everyone - barrington, anthony b, sizzla, loadsa others. Definitely worth checking out.

I think you're talking about hip-POP fans Big L's legacy is pretty much hiphop history 101 - nearly every hiphop head i know has 'Lifestyles...' (and I live in London).


Me, I'd pick 'The Four Horseman - The Horsemen Project' - killah priest, kurupt, canibus, ras kass and guesting by pharoahe monch...badass beats and hardcore rimes

The Faint - Wet from Birth.

It's a pretty sick little new wave/rock/techno album

If you like The Killers or Garbage you might like this.


Local H- Whatever happened to P.J. Soul

Excellent rock album

Specific tracks I love are:
Everone's alive
California song (the anti California song song *yes i ment to repeat it*)
How's the weather down there
Hey Rita

all awsome tracks.

my favorite bands that no one knows about only means no one in america is that smart to pick up a UK magazine and find some good music that isnt fucking rap, nu metal, or sappy pop crap

anything by Idlewild except their first album

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives- Behind the Music

I would say those for now
