I don't know about all that!  Don't get me wrong, it's a good track and
everything, but one of the best of the year?  if you're looking for
downtempo abstract hip-hop w/ an decent bassline and semi-annoying raps, by
all means...
"your ears are my punching bag" ...ech.

Don't know if it came out in '98, but one of my favorite hip-hop tracks of
last year has to be "Reflection Eternal feat. Mos Def and Mr. Man -
Fortified Live"

Speaking of abstract hip-hop, anyone know anything about Toastie Taylor
(beyond the Black Whole Styles appearance)?

Any opinions on "Peanut Butter Wolf - My Vinyl Weighs a Ton"?

some hip-hop)
