Hip Hop and Rap

[AndICried]

I feel that I really have neglected intention to listen to as much varied music as I can, by not listening to much rap and hip hop at all.

The only two artists I'm a serious fan of are Jurassic Five and Dalek, so I was wondering if any of you (who know more about the genres) could suggest some groups/artists to listen to.

jurassic five is awesome. i thought dalek was decent when i saw them with isis, but not as amazing as everyone says.

eminem, MC paul barman (jokey but really good lyrics and rhymes), outkast (seriously), the roots (fucking awesome), mos def, ummm...more will come.

i cannot support all minxim's picks but some are aces. de la soul, snoop, dre for sure.

m. doughty also used to claim that soul coughing was a hip-hop band which isn't really true but i guess there's SOME truth to it; the later shit (especially el oso) is heavily beat-based.

and soul coughing is way fucking rad.

Prince Paul & Kool Keith

tupac shakur of course also
and missy elliot

And I second the motion for Black Sheep. And there's another, like, UG hippidy-hop dude whose name's just on the tip o'my tongue... Fuck! Blackalicious, does that sound right?

Organized Rhyme, feat. Tom Green.

oh, if you dig Dalek you definitely need to check out Techno Animal, Justin Broadrick from Godflesh's electronic/hip-hop project with Kevin Martin from God.

oh blackalicious is GREAT i forgot about them. i have two of their albums and they're stellar.

 

[mindspell]

Tribe Called Quest are absolutly essential. The Roots need a place in there. I really like Dizzee Rascal. Outkast have been pretty consistent. Wu Tang Klan have a few good things out but you have to weed through some pretty crappy tunes in the process. RZA is definitly my favorite ex-WTC. I would recommend whole heartidly anything Adam F is associated with. I like british hip-hop a lot more than the both coast american ones actually...

 

[AndICried]

Woah. Thanks for the responses. I'll try and buy a few more albums when I get the gold.

 

[minxnim]

i can make you a cd if you want.

 

[AndICried]

If possible, that would be totally awesome. However, I live in UK.
