well, if you do decide to buy the CDs,
i recommend alicia keys'...
all of her songs are great!
it's unreal to see someone so young with so much talent!
kanye west's CD(both debut and sophmore albums),
the lyrics are actually meaningful,
it has a message(ie. diamonds from sierra leone),
unlike some other rappers,
who write about blings, parties, cash, and hoes...
(although i do listen to alot of those anyways...)
with maroon 5, and hoobastank...
some songs are good,
but, there are fillers on it too!
