I probably would've said it, but I haven't listened to it fully and comprehended it. It'd be hypocritical of me. :[

Dalek-Absence is quintessential Hip Hop.

Only the first two tracks are worthy of a mention and the album version of 'Regulate' omits the Michael Mcdonald sample. Although this would usually be a good thing, the sample greatly enhanced the track.

I think Anti-Pop Consortium - Arrhythmia is the only hip-hop album where I love every track. Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version comes close though.

Is it really possible that this thread has gone 4 pages without anyone mentioning I, Phantom by Mr. Lif? That album is about as close to perfect as you can get and probably my favorite hip-hop album of all time.
