both were discussed in the original message in this thread. as for the dr.dooom: i'd hate to have to suffer through an intrumental version. as far as i can tell, it's over in england that the hiphop sounds the freshest (by both definitions). as for their neighbours the french, unfortuantely i can't get past how silly rapping sounds en français. tomas
