Ah, yes, the original Pro, which is where some of my confusion is coming from.

I think it has to be Beastie’s Sabotage video, it’s still brilliant.

Also, Make Some Noise is a brilliant video off the last album.

And a (probably NSFW due to swearing and stuff) brilliant bit of animation for Killer Mike’s Reagan video.

Few years old now!

These two are more recent and make me laugh.

Getting rad round Nant Y Arian

More Chicksands.

Oof that’s a bit bent.

Sounds like you were riding perfectly legitimately.

I had a near miss the other day going down a very quiet country lane (a bit quick, I’ll admit) and a bloke pulled out of a concealed entrance on the left. He start pulling out (this is on a blind bend) while looking down at the radio/gearstick/something in the cabin. I was so dumbstruck I almost forgot to swerve and brake. Unbelievable.

21.7lbs? Jesus that’s what my roadie weighs.

I do love 5Spots though, very nice.

Load of Daily Mail bollocks, basically. I feel bad for clicking on it.

Found a fiver on the floor of Pret a Manger in the only time I’ve ever been in one.

Doubt it paid for lunch to be honest.

The chip shop I went to in Scotland wouldn’t deep fry me a Mars bar.

I’ve been enjoying it, good racing.

Yesterdays finish was ridiculous. 24% in places.

Originally got it for commuting with, but ended up riding a fair bit more and now I ride it as much as off road.

Doesn’t help that there’s now so few good legal trails round here, and the slightly cheeky trails are getting fenced off.

GAYNGS – Gaudy Side of Town

The phrase ‘Anti-Olympics Poster’ is possibly the single most tragic thing I’ve heard in a long time.

Madlib and Dilla are the masters of sampling.

Kanye’s not bad either…

Not eating or drinking to anything.

Listening to k.flay, playing NBA 2K12 and waiting for the real basketball to start.

I like Over The Hills and Through The Woods by QOTSA.

It was pretty cool. Not sure about the ethics of bringing dead people back to life though.

Set was decent though, Dre and Snoop were great.

Talib Kweli – The Beautiful Struggle.

Kanye West’s 808s was massively underrated.

I don’t think Take Me To Your Leader gets enough attention either. I think it’s DOOM’s best work apart from Madvillainy.

Propane>Fuel

The Prodigy – Fuel My Fire

I’ve got Soras, which are absolutely fine. New pads maybe?

I’ve been well impressed with my Crud’s.

Both the Turner and the xc bike.

I would have, but my Christmas Eve rided ended like this:

I don’t consider myself a failure.

In fact, despite being only five tracks long, I think SELENE[/url] might be the best thing this year.

Uses Clint Mansell’s score from Moon, mixed by Max Tannone, and with vocals by Richard Rich, who’s a really underrated and unheard New York rapper. Really worth a listen, even if you aren’t necessarily a hiphop fan, especially as it’s free.

(Does have swearing etc, so don’t play it at work or anything.)

I was going to say Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but apparently that was late November last year. And I think I said it this time last year. That’s an astonishing album though.

This year:

Scroobius Pip – Distraction Pieces
Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee
Kanye West/Jay-Z – Watch The Throne

Some very good free stuff too – Pusha T’s Fear Of God, Friend of the People by Lupe Fiasco, and especially Cookies or Comas by Jean Grae. Asher Roth’s Pabst and Jazz came out yesterday, first listen sounds great.

It took me a while to really get Mos Def’s The Ecstatic.

I have a feeling this thread is gonna end up costing me a bloody fortune. Thank you all so much.

I never understand why people get so annoyed on here about getting overtaken on the road. If I’m trying to get to work and I’m going faster than someone else, I’ll go past them. And vice versa.

Having said that, the other day I went past a guy on an old steel roadie wearing jeans. About half a mile later I realised he’d latched on to my rear wheel without me noticing. Was quite impressed.

Technically not albums, but:

Homeboy Sandman – There Is No Spoon

Das Racist – Shut Up, Dude

FinaL OutlaW – Invado

I also downloaded Ludacris – 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time 😳

I just ordered some wireless headphones.

I’ll get back to you.

I once had Paparazzi by Lady Gaga stuck in my head while riding a too small Turner Rail up the Legburner at Nant Y Arian.

Wilt Chamberlain. Only a two-time NBA Champion, but as an individual completely dominated. His career achievements are incredible.

Valentino Rossi.

And in terms of a more niche sport, didn’t Rodney Mullen only lose something like one flatland competition in 11 years?

Forgot the most obvious one.
Among all of my mates we have a rule that you have to call safety when you fart. If you don’t and someone realises (audible or nasally) they shout doorknob and beat you until you can grab hold of a doorknob.

We had that at school.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who pisses around with trollies.

I do also try and wheelie my road bike.

In my defence, I’m only 20.

Tricky one, cause all the artists I can think of have *some* swearing and stuff, even if it’s not full of it, NWA style.

Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, De La (as said above, avoid De La Orgee), maybe some Pharcyde? Q-Tip, Beasties, Slick Rick, possibly The Cool Kids?

Some of those may be unsuitable too to be honest, but might be worth having a listen to see.
