I haven't listened to Reflection Eternal with Hi-Tek enough to be able to ID favourite tracks by name, but the whole album was very good.

[Stevesanity]

hey Skip or Colin do you think you could recommend me some Wu-Tang songs....u know the tracks that dont have videos and stuff.

And also some good tracks from Common and Talib Kweli if isnt too much of trouble.

Thanks

Have a listen to Onyx and A Tribe Called Quest, you might like them considering your taste and some Public Enemy wouldnt hurt.

Colin though gave a great list so I have nothing to add, I Can't Go To Sleep is my favourite Wu joint, it'll sound a bit odd the first time you listen since Ghostface sounds like hes crying but listen to the words and you'd get into it, RZA's verse though is much more powerful specially if you have a african background although you dont have to be african-american to appreciate it.

And becareful about downloading them from Peer to Peer networks because you get tracks with wrong titles, I downloaded Truimph and Killer Bees and they were the same thing.

Go to this site and you'll find quite alot of videos, mostly some material from the 90's.

im listening to some old school tracks atm, Wanna Be A Balla by Fat Pat.

yer i herd a good fat pat song it was dat "tops drop" one had some real G-Funk goin down ther but at the moment itz all bout the UK stuff half the US stuff is old now jus the same old same old "money cash hoes and rims" that shiz got annoying all them wannbe gangstaz ****check out UK artists like Swiss, Sway, So Solid Crew, Sincere, Shystie, Roll Deep, Ms. Dynamite, Lethal B (the twista and lethal b track is BIIIIIIGGG itz called "move over"), Lady Sovereign (currently working with Missy and the Neptunes and Usher), Kyza, Kano, Dizzee Rascal, Estelle, choong family god the list goes on!!! if anybody wants to hear sum of dat get at me on yahoo messenger

[Colin]

Listening to that UK hip-hop for more than 5 minutes is like an overdose.

Slick Rick is the only person who has ever sounded good rapping with an English accent.

And Lady Sovereign and Dizzee are the ones I know the most about. They suck.

[UKJusBlaze]

u are too wrong my friend slick rick he's jus a fake boitch he doesnt sound like he's english at all and there is no such thing as a "English accent" for all u dumb fools out ther

[Colin]

He sound sort of English, which is the only reason it works. What do you want me to call it? A British accent? The sound of their voices pretty much always just grates my ears, and their production isn't good enough to carry them.

[UKJusBlaze]

u do realise that theres like 50 English accents or hav u not grappled dat yet? and actually they don't sound the same at all and ur dissing sumfin u don't hav a clue about

[UKJusBlaze]

and btw i don't paticually like the dam sound of sum upper class whiney-
b!tch from L.A
