I love hip hop but was raised a Deadhead so invariably GRATEFUL DEAD perfect place to start out if your new to acid. Find a choice '68 '69 or '72 and '74, brain food all the way! If i hadda listen to hip hop I'd wanna go with something like "Low End Theory" by Tribe Called Quest or "Resurrection" by Common. Listening to 50 Cent or some such shit would cause me to bang my head against the wall! These days I've been using the following artists in my entheogenic journeys...DUNGEN a great psych/rock band from Sweden very cool!, Ravi shankar especially MASTERS OF INDIA or any good tabla music, TIMOTHY LEARY especially "The Psychedelic Experience" recently re-issued on cd, some choice live Phish, Hendrix, Dylan or Airplane. I also enjoy a deep goa or trance but that was never my bag, I figure that is more "Club music" and goes more with "club drugs" like X, ketamine, etc. I think a sick visual experience is good too like watching "The Grateful Dead Movie" or if you can even find it on dvd "Sunshine Daydream." The (in)famous Grateful Dead concert from 1972 benefitting Kesey in Veneta, OR. How many people have even seen "Sunshine Daydream?" I have an old VHS copy and it provided many great experiences! Next time i do shrooms i plan on utilizing my PHISH IT dvd to guide my journey what a sick dvd that is! Phish's "Vegas" dvd is also a great tripping companion, I prefer live music movies as opposed to actual movies unless it's something that is good while tripping. i find it hard to follow movies while tripping.
