First n foremost, this is an amazing thread. I was into some Japanese hip hop here n there like Shakkazombie, DJ Muro on those Pete Rock remixes, Samurai Champloo, etc over the years. Then I heard the Soul Scream The Deep" album a few years ago, which had my mind blown. That being said, I finally came across this site, and Im amazed of stuff ive been hearing from the youtube links. Also kicking myself too, cause i bought cds in Japan (but prior to seeing this thread). Hopefully BOOKOFF in nyc has em, though chances are kinda slim. Defintely need to cop that Naked Artz album, Dinary Delta Force, 5th wheel 2 the coach, Microphone Pager (didnt know muro n twigy had a group), and Gagle 3peat n big bang theory albums. Once again, thank u all for this thread.
Hoshino, are talking about issugi "earr" album? i think its solid, got it off itunes. it has stones throw vibe to it, songs are 2 to 3 mins long,only track i didnt like was "get blunt" (that beat is just bland to me atleast).
