Finally! I discovered some great music three days ago, and was aching to share!

Aceyalone's A Book of Human Language:

(Maybe the best album I've ever heard; unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have produced an album quite the same again. This is Eyedea before Eyedea was doing his thing. I think it's better, honestly. Regardless of who's a better philosorapper, this album rocks!)

Aceyalone's All Balls Don't Bounce:

(not the same as the above album, but still solid.)

MF Doom's Mmm Food:

RJD2's Deadringer:

(love this one)

Hieroglyphics' The Kitchen:

Sage Francis and Rebel Yellow's Don't Think: https://strangefamousrecords.bandcamp.com/track/dont-think-v... (I'm not crazy about the part where it says "I hate how much I hate how you don't know...", that's just cheesy... but it doesn't completely spoil the song). I didn't know Sage Francis had his own label! Good for him!

Now that I've heard A Book of Human Language, I don't know that I can approach a hip hop album with the same attitude ever again. That's the standard everything's compared to now, for me. Good stuff.
