I like rap that shows technical skill, a good sense of music, decent lyrics and most of all on beat. If you listen to most current rap songs, they all sound like they don't have any rhythm. While everyone and their mother would like to say that white people don't have any rhythm, any current rapper seems to have no rhythm, plust no skill.
As for Current CDs I've bought, I recently picked up these 5 CDs:
Garbage - Garbage: Masterpiece in Industrial rock and roll. Lots of great hooks, plus good drums (real and synthed)
Simon Says - Shut your breath: Medicore, but still containing some decent songs. Sounds like angsty teenagers.
Filter - Title of Record: SWEET!!! Buy this CD. Same as Garbage, only they sound a lot like Soundgarden, which equals bonus points, since Soundgarden is my all time favorite band
Filter - THe Amulgamut: Just like the previous, only many more of the songs are really rough and not completely to my taste.
The Urge - Receiving the gift of taste: One of the few ska acts I can swallow, they are really cool because they don't sacrifice heavy guitar and still mesh it with the brass (most other Ska bands sound so wimpy).
