If you think rap sucks or isn't "real music", quit being pretentious and go sample something that isn't on the radio:
De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Brand Nubian, Canibus, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Gang Starr, Digital Underground, (old) Kanye West, Immortal Technique, etc.

Better yet, try to make a 4 minute spoken word poem read to a beat that doesn't suck or sound corny if you think hip hop has no talent.

Looking forward to it.

My last build was an AMD XP 2800.

HAHA YES I KNOW. It was also my first build, so I've come quite a ways.

Ok ordered all the gear, managed to get most of it on special offers
Got a nice XFX 1GB 4890 instead of the two 4770's, kinda wanted xfire but I suppose it may happen in the future...

From what I've read I will be, at least with the 4890 I can pop another in instead of 4770's where I would just need a whole new card...

He's in the UK just like me and the egg doesn't ship over here
