ex mpc 2000 etc, i’m just starting out and what equipment is the most important thing to get first

I am especially after Captain Kidd (the version done by Waterson:Carthy) or Sovay(as done by Dave Swarbrick and Martin Carthy), but any traditional folk songs would be great.

You can’t just call any great album a classic can you? So I ask, is there anyway an artist can put out a record with something that hasn’t been done before and that will define a generation anytime in the near future? Because in today’s Hip Hop it’s all the same bull, I don’t know if there will ever be another record that will affect Hip Hop as a whole(mainstream and underground) in a positive way.

What are some good hiphop/rap songs to listen to before a big basketball game to get you pumped up?

Do you all agree with T.I. when he calls himself King of the Dirty South? If not, who do you think is the real King?
