I love Gorillaz, especially the 1st album. Good production and groove, and the rap, when present, adds a great flavor to the track. I dont know what you guys have against rap. I personally greatly respect rap when its not just talking about money, guns, and bitches, heard mainly from Mainstream rappers. Gorillaz are not a corpratly contructed group used to make money, they are quite against that. Which is why they are cartoons, to detract from stardom and have the focus be the music.
