The dirtiest most comic answer ...

These guys may have saved what's left of hip-hop (at least according to the LA Times).

This shit is amazing. Ninja’s flow is on fire on Enter the Ninja and it shows that he’s a killer MC. On that track, Yo-Landi Vi$$er has a high-pitch, vulnerable sound. She croons "I am your butterfly, I need your protection, be my samurai," to which Ninja eloquently replies "I’m a fucking Ninja." This shit is absolutely amazing. Ninja even stops before the end of the song to reflect out loud, saying, "Fuck, this is like the coolest song I ever heard in my whole life."

It's some of the best satire/music this year and unsurprisingly it's way more creative than any 'real work' in a dying(long dead ?) genre that I've really never much cared for.
