just to clarify, although i agree that this album, titled 'chant down babylon' is pretty much uneccesarry (just stick with the originals), it's hardly top 40 crap. among the 'top 40 crap' artists included are Rakim, The Roots, Guru, Erykah Badu, Chuck D, etc. Really, with the exception of Badu & Hill it's hardly top 40 (and neither of them should be classified as crap, either) this is obviously a geninuine attempt at a tribute, not a marketing scheme. All of the artists involved respectable musicians, and seem to have respect for Marley. I mean, really if they wanted to do an album of top 40 crap they'd have brought in n'sync. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
