[QUOTE="Zoatebix, post: 1414632, member: 11401"] [b]Undergroud, trip-hop, and bears - oh my![/b] Say no to the pop "Bling-bling" tripe that passes for hip-hop on the radio these days! Go independant... or at least quasi-underground. I highly reccommend Blackalicious's 2002 album Blazing Arrow. You get 17 tracks for your money, too, and the title will make the archers in your campaign happy :p Seriously though, "Chemical Calisthenics" is an amazing feat, and a fitting sequil to "Alphabet Aerobics" from the A2G ep they put out in 1999. In all seriousness, I'd probably want to listen to it closely rather than have it in the background as ambient music. A lot of it's really evocative, though - "Sky is Falling" is definately an appropriate RPG mood-setter. Maybe something by the Beta Band? Their hip-hop influence is tangential at best, but it's there! I've gotta recommend them to everyone. John Cussack decided to feature their single "Dry the Rain" prominently in the movie High Fidelity, but be sure to check our their album Hot Shots II in addition to The Three EPs. -z [/QUOTE]
