Pedra Branca - Feijoada Polifônica

So, I tend to go with the way the used section "current" takes me, knocking out albums on my list along the way, and that'd explain the variety of what I bought today:

Tago Mago (remastered) - Can

There's probably a reason why I can never seem to find anything by Can in the used section - either not many people own copies of their albums, or maybe it's just because those who do don't tend to sell their copies. I tend to believe the latter, this album is excellent.

Boy In Da Corner - Dizzee Rascal

I do tend to find used copies of Dizzee Rascal's material, but it's usually Maths+English which I don't like quite as much as this one despite it having been made on the Def Jux label (I believe). It's insane that most don't cite this album as an influence on Death Grips at least in terms of those electronic beats that are prominent throughout the album. Either way, this is a really, really good one, I tried to get into The Streets as well but I haven't had any success - they sound super corny to me for some reason, but I'll give it another go.

The ArchAndroid - Janelle Monae

This is the only album of hers that I've given a proper listen, that's going to have to change because she murders this album entirely! If there's a direction that I want to see R&B go in, it's not with Lemonade, but The ArchAndroid. It's groovy, it's smooth, and it's just damn brilliant!

The Streets is whack, Dizzie slaps.

Pretty much goes without saying that Tago Mago is a top record to have on vinyl. Halleluwah is the pinnacle of rock drumming imo.

The Streets aren't whack or corny at all.

I do not like Original Pirate Material yet, let's put it that way. It's not on my "bad" list yet, but I was so disappointed given some of what I've seen about them. Sorry for any English folks out there, but they are SO English and that might be part of the problem I have with them. It sounds like the MC is about to start talking about bangers & mash and drinking warm beer at any moment.

Sounds like you just can't get over the accent. It sounded odd to me at first as well but that was in 2001 and everyone was still using American ones over here.

Also were you expecting some sort of elite rapper that fires bars out at 100mph?

I remember when the first Dizzee album came out seeing all these "British people shouldn't rap" comments from people on the internet. I always thought that was such a weird attitude. It's like these people were living in a parallel dimension where Slick Rick never existed. And why should it matter what kind of accent someone has anyway?
