I thought I could. But this year people were absolutely Lyrical about some hip hop album and I just thought it was as ****ty as all the other hip-hop. What was his name again? Almost everyone here seemed to like it, even people who usually aren't into hip-hop that much.
I'll listen to your links later to see what I'll think, but I already know I'll prefer the roots.
I even used one of their samples in a video

Yes, I cut out what everyone who likes hip-hop would call 'the good bit', but you get the idea.
The tapedecks on the video are mine, a friend made the video after he repaired those machines for me.
