The Streets
A Grand Don't Come for Free (Vice/Atlantic) May 18, 2004
I guess in England, rap means really well-thought-out and brilliantly articulated concept records. In America, Nelly blows the collective minds of the hip-hop community by putting out a double-album that spells a new word if you hold both album covers up next to each other. (Listen)

Aroo?

Mojo's list isn't bad. It's just that usually I find a few bands on their annual that spur my interest to investigate further. This year...nothing.
