On the subject of overlooked/underrated/good hip hop, Chino's first album Here To Save You All is a classic to me, turned me on to the underground scene back in the day.Spoiler:

Booooo! It sucks how many artists I like (who are not that much older than me) have been passing away over the last couple of years. MF Doom, Gift of Gab, Trugoy etc. Now Chino XL.
He was never a guy I listened to that much to be honest, but I did cop Here to Save You All when it came out because it had a track with Kool Keith, and I was/am a massive Kool Keith fan.
I just was doing a bit of Googling and saw that Tame One (Artifacts), Hurricane G, Black Rob, Bushwick Bill, Stezo, and Craig Mack have died relatively recently as well, which I don't think I knew about.

I don't recall hearing about Craig Mack, seems he passed back in '18 before it became the in thing.
Black Rob had been found living homeless with liver issues IIRC, not long before he passed. I don't know the full story, but that story is a sad (and cautionary) one.
I was never real familiar with The Artifacts, but I had The Ultimate taped off the radio back in the day, and I saw them live several years back. It's a shame to hear that Tame One has passed since.
Chino's album was the first time I had heard Kool Keith. Never really knew what to make of him, but I like some of his stuff, and you have to respect him just cause he has such a unique style & vibe about him.

Great new cover of REM's "Driver 8" from Toad and guests from the Gin Blossoms and Vertical Horizon.

A quirky thriller from Spain with interesting characters and a solid plot. There are occasional scenes of gory violence so beware of that I guess. But it's a good watch. If you don't hablo espanol, there a choice of subtitles or a dubbed version that is done well. On Amazon Prime.

That's a series, right? This still applies...
Struggling to find some new good stuff to watch too. But LotR series is back in 8 hours!! So there's that. I know I'm the only one in the world who loved it, but I hear the 2nd season is so much better than the first, even for Tolkien fans.

Haha yeah the new thing I've just heard about always seems more exciting than the thing I've been meaning to watch.
Yes it's a series. 7 episodes. Flew by pretty quickly for me. Apparently there will be 2 more seasons to match the book trilogy it's based on, which is pretty cool.
I liked Rings of Power too and still don't know why it has such a crappy rotten tomatoes score. Grumpy Tolkien fans I guess. Looking forward to season 2.

It was far from perfect, but I really enjoyed the first season of Rings of Power too. It seemed to me that a majority of the negativity was from the internet troll types of the world who complain loudly about things like strong female lead characters and lots of diversity in the casting.
I am keen for season 2, but I cancelled my Prime subscription a few months ago and now need to decide with its worth renewing to watch one show.
