How do all...
I dug out Dr Octagon - Dr Octagonecolegyst the other night and it was superb to hear again. It's got me digging out some of my other favourites from that time but then it struck me that usually, when you think you know something about something, you can post it on RAWK and someone can point out some stuff that's even better. Soooo...
Here's my favourite trip hop albums (I love trip hop by the way). Please recommend more cos I have to try them out on my new earphones!
Also - my definition of trip hop might not tally up with yours so apologies if that's the case. I mean predominantly hip hop and breaks music with all kinds of genres thrown in to create a mood or make you laugh or generally fuck around with your head a little.
Dr Octagon - Dr Octagonecolegyst
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

Any more for any more? I've probably missed a good few out of my own cupboard but it was a good decade ago now eh? I heard Tim Westwood on the radio the other day say that he'd asked a young rapper who their favourite 'old school' artist was, and they said '50 Cent'. Amazing to think hip hop's been around so long that nobody remembers the genuinely old school stuff!!
