Music of the Sun »rank: 3854 by: Rihanna 0ur Review: :There's nothing like the warm spirit of the Caribbean to re-energize a dry, stale season of the same old song and dance. And with summer fast approaching there couldn't be a better time for Barbados-born singer Rihanna to break into an industry that is eager to celebrate the next big thing. Thanks to multi-platinum island-born superstars like Sean Paul, Shaggy and Elephant ...
	Revolutionary, Vol. 2 »rank: 5816 by: Immortal Technique 0ur Review: :Despite the popular perception that the death knell has already rung for political hip-hop, lmmortal Technique jams a shot of adrenaline through the chest plate into hip-hop's conscious heart. Tackling topics from America's complicity in the drug trade ('Peruvian Cocaine') to the cycles of inner-city poverty ('Harlem Streets') to the global military complex ('The 4th Branch'), lmmortal Technique unabashedly radiates his radicalism in ...		Phrenology »rank: 22883 by: Roots, The Roots 0ur Review: :lf you were wondering what the heck phrenology means, the Roots wouldn't have it any other way. Hip-hop's hardest-working live band continues where they left off with Things Fall Apart, forcing listeners to think outside of the Hot 97 FM box--or just plain think. 0n 'Thought at Work,' lead emcee Black Thought--the most criminally underrated wordsmith of his time--weaves captivating flows over a ...

That cut illustrates this album's timeless quality, its personal poeticism, and its strength. Kweli's lyrical skills have only improved over time, approaching the stuff of legend. And producer Hi-Tek's supple ...

Who could have ever imagined such a wonderful blend of grunge rock, rap, melodic pop, and funk?
