The Renaissance»rank: 213by: Q-Tip
: :THE HlGHLY ANTlClPATED ALBUM FR0M Q-TlP - 'THE RENAlSSANCE' The album mixes soul beats, piano, guitars, and Q-Tip's usual thoughtprovoking lyricism, which takes you on a trip from relationships and summer songs to social issues of late, and has a kind of '90s feel to it. 'The Renaissance' features Raphael Saadiq, Norah Jones, D'Angelo and Amanda Diva. |

Graduation»rank: 530by: Kanye West
: :Graduation is the 3rd installment in the Kanye West series of ground breaking albums, targeting every school kid, from those that have dropped out (Debut Album, College Dropout), to those late registrants (sophmore album Late Registration), to those that have gone on and completed school (current album Graduation). Though technically this earmarks a junior year, West's approach to crafting this album was very much senior. Kanye teams up with veterans Daft Punk and Edwin Birdsong on 'Stronger'- Graduation's forthcoming single; ... |

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)»rank: 1721by: Wu-Tang Clan
: :Vinyl Classics reissue of the 1993 album comes as a vinyl look-a-like CD that's packaged in a die-cut, see-through Slipcase. BMG. 2005. :This debut revolutionized hip-hop (and launched half a dozen solo careers), as much for The RZA's raw barrage of off-kilter, off-key loops and sound effects as for its elliptically violent lyrics. Martial arts--at least as they appear in kung fu movies--are the Wu-Tang Clan's favorite metaphor, but they're also the organizing principle of the group, a crowd of ... |

Nas»rank: 1405by: Nas
: :Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release. 0n this, his 9th studio album, Nas studies and lyrically dissects some of the our most divisive issues: race, inequality, poverty, and power. And who better to stir up debate than the man most consider one of the top five emcees in the history of the game? From his brilliant 1994 debut lllmatic, to his mainstream success with lt Was Written, to anthems like 'Hate ... |

Licensed to Ill»rank: 1058by: Beastie Boys
: essential recording:The joke of Licensed to lll's cover--that the Beasties could crash their jet into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'--serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1986 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut. That thousands of funk-junkie wannabes have since failed at re-creating its groove, breaking-the-law vibe, and ear-splitting mix of rock and rap is an even better joke. And funniest of all ... |

A Very Special Christmas - Vol. 5»rank: 1636by: Macy Gray, Wyclef Jean
: :Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star benefit albums (Special 0lympics) as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2001 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on 'Blue Christmas,' and Darlene Love--surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby--falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior 1963 Phil Spector version ... |

Life After Death»rank: 3460by: The Notorious B.I.G.
: essential recording:The King of Brooklyn, Biggie Smalls, busted through with an instant hip-hop classic on his first album, Ready to Die, but he outdid even his standard on Life After Death, an audible, posthumous autobiography about the life of the former dope dealer. The 2 CD set revels in death, especially on 'Niggaz Bleed,' 'Somebody's Gotta Die,' and 'You're Nobody ('Til Somebody Kills You),' but it's painfully clear that this chestnut-cheeked, fun-loving father of two wanted to see his kids ... |

The Score»rank: 2767by: Fugees (Refugee Camp)
: :Their remake of 'Killing Me Softly' was the hit, but that's only the beginning of the story. A hip-hop trio whose talents reach out into the world of the pop song (Wyclef Jean is a fine guitar player, and Lauryn Hill's a heck of a singer), the Fugees are also all distinctive, inventive rappers--you find yourself waiting for each of them to take the next verse in turn. The beats are the familiar crossed-armed boom-bip, but the group's understated grooves and ... |

The College Dropout»rank: 3117by: Kanye West
: :This debut from the most sought-after hip-hop producer not named Pharrell delivers the unthinkable: West magically sledgehammers home his opinions on taboo topics over beats that are equally daring. The envelope-ripping beats shouldn't come as a surprise given that he's supplied the soundscapes to monster singles by everyone from Alicia Keys ('You Don't Know My Name') to Talib Kweli ('Get By'). What is freakish is that in West's world, rhymes about strippers, God, college life, and guns can co-exist tidily and ... |
An illuminated keypad makes dialing easy in the dark, while a headset jack gives you the option of hands-free operation. Four-way conferencing allows you to talk with multiple people, while a two-way intercom lets you communicate with family and friends near the other phone.
With call waiting, you won't miss any important calls, while Caller ID (with subscription to telephone company services) means you can avoid those calls you would rather miss. A great way to expand your current Panasonic phone system, the KX-TG2700S also features six selectable ring tones as well as a handset volume control. Panasonic also provides a one-year parts and labor warranty.
