One of Nas' many brilliant songs from Illmatic - very tidy beat by DJ Premier too.

[YOUTUBE=ndtbyt0I-h4]Memory Lane - Nas[/YOUTUBE]

Excellent mix-tape track by Lupe Fiasco - Kanye's original track looks very average in comparison.

[YOUTUBE=i3Z4K_WWeBA]Conflict Diamonds - Lupe Fiasco[/YOUTUBE]

Jay-Z at his best - yet another awesome beat produced by DJ Premier.

[YOUTUBE=0mnyBp4FzzI]D'Evils - Jay-Z[/YOUTUBE]

This is such a cool remix of Life's A Bitch - Nas ft. AZ by Rockwilder - I love the contrast between the tone of the lyrics and beat.

I think dubstep is going to be the next "big thing" for our new decade. :yes:
It's been underground for a while now in the UK but is finally going mainstream in the US.
I heard even Britney Spears is having dubstep beats for her next album(from Rusko).

One thing I've noticed is the popularity of electronic music in the US lately(especially euro-synth style). The mixing of urban and dance music will probably continue in the future. One distinctive sound of dubstep is the wooble bass sound and I aspect to hear more of this sound in 2011/2012. Most music trends that define a particular time period(80s new wave, 90s grunge, and 00s emo for instance) really start earlier in the underground scene then become mainstream.
