Hi Jon,

I'm a huge fan of Emagic Xtreme HipHop. No (or maybe very few) 808/909 style 
samples but plenty of gritty, earthy snares, and thick juicy kicks. I also 
picked up VR Hip Hop (Giga), and that one is very good as well. IMO the 
Xtreme HipHop library is better than Stylus, which I also own. Of course 
that's a preference thing, but I know what I turn to 9 times out of 10. Both 
those libraries fall squarely in the electronic category. As for acoustic, 
most of the time (which is, I'll admit, very rarely, as (yup you guessed it) 
I'm a hip-hopper), when I want an acoustic kit sound, I'll turn to the NS 
Free kit. Or a few other free SF2 kits I've found through my internet 
travels.

Mark
