I have a copy of the new GangStarr, Moment of Truth, and I didn't get it on
import so I believe it is out now. It is a really good album, I've only
listened to it once. My first impression; however, is that it is not as good as
Daily Operation, which I think is in the top five hip-hop albums. I really do
like it, but I don't think it is GangStarr's best. A lot of the album has a
real Wu-Tang like sound to it. The whole album is just great hard-core hip-hop.

Has anyone heard the Five Fingers of Funk. They are a funk, hip-hop group out
of Portland, Oregan and there shit is totally dope. They are touring with Maceo
Parker and Fishbone, and I suggest checking them out. Both of their albums are
great and I recommend them to anyone who is into the old school hip-hop and
funk.
