They were much more entertaining in their frat-boyish pre-political preaching days.

I think you have to give any rap group that has been around nearly 20 years some props.

I agree Lisence to Ill was a classic...but if you like dense sampling Pauls Boutique grows on you. THen when they went back to palying instruments for Check Your Head and Ill Communication I think both are prime examples of combining live music, dj-ing, and rapping as you can get it several different styles ranging form rock-metal-jaz-funk. And now that they have gone back to more of their rap roots on Hello Nasty and 5 Burroughs they can still rap like no other white boys on the planet and still incorporate any style into their own.

now you talkin my kind of music!

they even have country and raggae songs
