If you never have liked hip-hop for any other reason than it's usual mainstream nastiness then this is a reason to become interested and follow hip-hop. Ivan Ives' Iconoclast is by far one of the best albums I have ever heard in my entire life. I would most definetly place it in the top 5. Ives has an ability to not only create vivid real lyrical pictures but is also able to stand alone in the world of hip-hop because of the eccentric yet attractive and sophisticated auditory beats that are performed in his work. What also makes this man so attractive is the aspect of his roots that he is obviously very close with as revealed by his work. In my opinion foreign rap is some of the best rap out there and if you can successfully rap in Russian and English you're it.
