Totally bummed that MCA died. I found out and then a few hours later realized that the dude was one of my first musical heroes when I was a kid. When Licensed to Ill came out I thought he was the coolest one because of his voice. One of the first tapes I ever owned. Still play Paul's Boutique on a regular basis, one of the best albums ever, says I.
I think I own like 10 hip hop albums. Various things by Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Public Enemy, and Stereo MCs. I enjoy a good bit of it when it's on at a party, usually the west coast groove type of stuff, but not enough to listen at home. That's really about it for me.
