this is just a quote that I found that I wanted to share with ya'll:

"Illmatic is the best hip-hop record ever made ... Stylistically, if every other hip-hop record were destroyed, the entire genre could be reconstructed from this one album ... In Illmatic, you find the meaning not just of hip-hop, but of music itself: the struggle of youth to retain its freedom, which is ultimately the struggle of man to retain his own essence."

 get it if you dont got it. ain't nothin else to be said.

Dalek - From The Filthy Tongue Of Gods and Griots - 2002

Dälek (pronounced 'Die-a-leck') is an American experimental hip hop duo from Newark, NJ. The group comprises MC Dälek (vocals) and the Oktopus (production). They have often toured with artists from radically different genres, such as Godflesh, Isis, Prince Paul, The Melvins, Tool, De La Soul, RJD2, and Lovage.

Dälek's music is dark, noisy and atmospheric, equally inspired by industrial music like Einstürzende Neubauten, the layered noise of My Bloody Valentine and the dense sound collages of Public Enemy. Their sound is often constructed through sampling and a musical base atypical of most hip-hop, making it difficult for people to classify their sound. They have been described as trip-hop, glitch-hop, and metal- shoegaze-hip-hop, as well as criticized for their broad range of sound.

[rage]

WE ARE BLATANTLY AND ILLEGALLY SHARING/HOSTING FULL ALBUMS OF OTHER ARTISTS ALBUMS ABOVE AND BELOW THIS POST AND EVERYWHERE ELSE ON THE FUCKING SITE WHAT THE FUCK

anyway, go here if you wanna hear this it's alright. I'd re-host and contest it and shit but honestly who is actually going to download this anyway. 

This is my first mix that I have ever uploaded to the internet! Depending on if anyone actually bothers to download this I might make another. It's only 8 songs, mostly taken from shit I have posted here. You can download it here {link now removed, as if you gave a shit enough about random playlists I make anyway} or I also put it on 8tracks, so you could listen to it there if you wanna.

The Sonics - Here Are The Sonics - 1965

The Sonics are often-cited contenders for the title of "the first punk/grunge band", due to their wild and unconventional style. The band also have a clearly marked influence on American punk bands such as The Dead Boys in their brash, masculine style and posturing, and on the nineties grunge bands (who originated in the same area), especially Mudhoney, who adopted some of the darker themes from Sonics music, and a lot of their techniques on over-driving and distorting electric guitars. Their reach stretched beyond the U.S.; influential Manchester post-punk group The Fall covered "Strychnine" during a session for the late John Peel's programme in 1993 and they repeatedly performed the song live around this time. As well as all these, there have been whole generations of garage rock revival bands (such as The Thingz) who make no bones of plagiarizing The Sonics and their ilk. The early 21st century saw the arrival of another garage rock band that lists the Sonics as a major influence, Eagles of Death Metal. New Zealand power-punk band Cut Off Your Hands have covered "The Witch" several times in concert.

LCD Soundsystem's seminal release "Losing My Edge" (2002) features a long list of important 20th century musical bands. The litany ends with singer James Murphy repeating 'The Sonics' four times, emphasizing how important the band was.

the quintessential garage rock/punk album
