Thanks, Ive been so busy that I hadnt checked in a bit so hadnt noticed. But the review reads close to how I expected. Good to see that he upgraded To Pimp by 1/2 point too -- closer to what its worth to these ears (my rating is 7/10). Also interesting to see that he also thinks Crow Looked at Me was hugely overrated (I also thought it was 5/10ish maybe 5.5). Looking forward to more from P-Scarface.

Sure! Though some of my selections might be considered borderline or too much an amalgam of genres to fit definitively into your requirements, so if thats the case, feel free to let me know what does qualify from my list and Ill revise accordingly by simply choosing the next entry down until I have 10 fitting selections.

Right on Smile As a Michael Jackson SuperFan you owe yourself those Stevie Wonder albums (plus Talking Book and Music of My Mind).

Oh, Stevie Wonder's great too. And he's funny (especially the time when he gave a grammy to Sheeran, I laugh everytime I see the clip).

Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Ve...ty Bastard

Any opinions on this album? His often frenetic, surreal take on hip-hop made me think you might find some value.

EDIT: I just looked up a certain someone's opinion to see if that would improve my pitch.
