I'll assume we can count album-turned-mixtape, because The 3rd World by Immortal Technique was ill as shit. And not just the mixtape (which was really only OK, DJ Green Lantern is really too mainstream for Tech IMO but whatever) but the actual tracks, that's why I bought the god-damned DRM iTunes version instead of bootlegging it or something, because the tracks by themselves were really great, especially The 3rd World and Harlem Renaissance. The Watchout Remix was nice too, those lyrics were great but the original track had no flow at all. If this is what Tech can do now I really can't wait for Revolutionary Volume 3 and The Middle Passage, good stuff up ahead
Oh and A History Of Violence by Jedi Mind Tricks was nice as ice as well. Vinnie's got some sick flow, and his lyrical content is really blunt and gets to the point.
