Not strictly hip hop, but the soundtrack to Judgement Night is amazing.

If you like Burn by Militia then you'll love the NWO Wolfpac theme, since it's a complete ripoff of Burn.

Well, according to my clock, its gone 3am...

according to Ice-T... its MIDNIGHT!

Condolences are in order to day for Robert Diaz, AKA PH, or Pumpkinhead. Veteran battle rapper and MC, and also one of the most genuinely nicest and humblest guys in the game. If you don't know who he is, he was a long time MC, emerged with the Rawkus era, releasing a solid album Orange Moon Over Brooklyn, which featured the production of a young Marco Polo. He followed that up with Picture This, as well as Know The Ledge in 2011. He was working on a new album with a lot of exciting collabs prior to his death, and I hope it still gets released.

PH also collaborated with Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, Swave Sevah, El-P, and was well known by a slew of other artists, such as Slug, Brother Ali, Alchemist, Diabolic, etc. I'd certainly recommend checking out his albums.

The name Pumpkinhead rings a bell, but I wasn't familiar with his music until today. Checked out a few tracks on YT and this one in particular hooked me up:

Pumpkinhead - Here

Dat beat tho. Went straight to my bookmarks. What a sad irony listening to it now after he's not here anymore...

For sure. He'd actually just made a return to the battle scene as well, taking a battle with Joe Cutter about a month or two ago. He was pretty excited about his new album during his appearance on the Dirtbag Dan Show, so it's pretty heartbreaking to have him pass on so young, while he had some of his best work on the way. If you're into the battle rap scene at all, PH was a member of Team Homi/Rebel Arms (Poison Pen, Amzilla, Moneybagz, Sarah Kana, Swave Sevah.) He was a regular supporter of all the different leagues, still coming out to KOTD, URL and even the "new" Grindtime scene.

Ever wondered what it would sound like if the Muppets recorded a rap album while on LSD?

Introducing: Puppetmastaz.

Puppetmastaz - Mephistopheles

Puppetmastaz - Tropical Feed

Puppetmastaz - Romancer

Make of it what you will.

Just happened on this via a local mate: Young Paris

New Czarface album is out and it's just as good as the first, in my opinion!
Guests list: RA the Rugged Man, Method Man, Large Professor, GZA, Meyhem Lauren, Juju from the Beatnuts and last but certainly not least, MF motherfuckin' DOOM!

If you don't know who Czarface is, it's a rap group formed by DJ 7L, with MC Esoteric and Inspectah Deck from the Wu-Tang clan. If you enjoy solid boom-bap and merciless rhyme schemes and razor sharp flows, then this is definitely for you. Their first album was top 5 of 2013 in my opinion, coming second to only Run The Jewels 1.

Full album here. You'll need to put the speed up to 1.25 to correct the slow down. If you like it, support 'em and pick up a copy. If you get in on the first pressing, you get a free 70 page comic book as well.

There's no other reason for posting these than me currently enjoying them so much, while I cook my lunch. Love those beats and samples!

Time Machine - Matter Transporter
Time Machine - Reststop Sweethearts

Matter Transporter somehow reminded me of Del's Wacky World of Rapid Transit, but since I couldn't find it on the internet, I'm going to post this other favorite again: Del - Ahonetwo, Ahonetwo (Remix)

And then Reststop Sweethearts made me think of De La Soul - Bitties in the BK Lounge, which in turn might have been an inspiration for Ugly Duckling's weird concept album Taste the Secret (with that nice Sesame Street flavor!). Bon appetit! ;)

EDIT: Some bonus food: First Words - All Day Breakfast

Time for some megalohmania! ;)

Megaloh - Dr. Cooper (Ich Weiss) and the Remix feat. MoTrip, Aphroe, Afrob, Samy Deluxe, Umse, Ali As, Celo & Abdi
Chefket, Megaloh & Amewu - Live MCs
FONZ' feat. Megaloh - Marathon Modus
Denyo feat. Bartek, Megaloh, ASD & Jan Delay - Kein Bock (Allstar Remix)

Time for some motrippin'! :P

MoTrip - Mathematik

MoTrip - Wie ein Dealer

MoTrip feat. Elmo - Guten Morgen NSA

And let me toss in one more. Dope track by one of those former 'The Next Big Thing' US rappers from the last decade who never really made it.

Stat Quo - By My Side

I like the idea of this thread. Here are a few songs I love that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

Illogic & Blockhead - Bridges

Shad - I Get Down

Joey Bada$$ - Unorthodox

Deltron 3030 - Time Keeps on Slipping

MF DOOM - Vomitspit

Young Fathers - Low

Also a bit shocked to see that no one has mentioned Chance.

Chance the Rapper - Everybody's Something

Chance the Rapper - Acid Rain

Might as well throw in a few other top-notch tracks while I'm at it:

Jay Electronica - Dear Moleskine ft. Kendrick Lamar

Jay-Z - Dead Presidents II

Black Star - Respiration ft. Common

Ghostpoet - Survive It
