Yeah id say those two, Apathy and JMT, and if you like both of those then you should check out Army of the Pharaohs, its Apathy, Vinnie Paz from JMT, and bunch of other real good rappers.

I haven't heard most of the stuff you listed, ill check them out - any recommendations? - but if you like the Hieroglyphics then check out the Imperium Hiero Classix Vol's and the Souls of Mischief

Oh man, you shouldn't have posted this, I'll go on for days. Firstly, I personally am not a fan of JMT, Apathy, Celph Titled, and other Demi Godz or AotP members really. I got into the underground scene through them, but mostly don't enjoy it anymore. (JMT's Violent by Design is still a personal favorite however.) Alright, let me start with, how about my top ten favorite albums at this EXACT moment. In time.

Cunninlynguists - A Piece of Strange (I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kno's beats.)
The Roots - Game Theory (Really any Roots, but this is their latest.)
Madvillain - Madvillainy (Mad Libs on beats, MF Doom on mic, they're like two of the best in the game right now.)
MF GRIMM - American Hunger
Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor (yeah, not really underground, but still hot, and undie wasn't a requirement, was it?)
RJD2 - Dead Ringer (Just beats, if this isn't your thing, then I understand. Great to trip to though!)
Jay Dee - The Shining (R.I.P. his shit is dope.)
Edan - Beauty and the Beat (Edan is soooooo gooooooood! Please check this album out, even if you don't like anything else I say, CHECK THIS ALBUM OUT!)
Insight - Updated Software V 2.5 (If you like Edan, you'll like this dude, they're pretty good friends too.)
El-P - Fantastic Damage (If you like Can Ox, then you'll like this, El-P laid down the beats for that album, after all.)

Those are in no particular order. There are other's that I really like, but didn't mention because you already have them, or another by the same artist, listed. Immortal Technique both Rev. Vol 1 + 2 are good. Lif, Aesop Rock, Heiro and any solo stuff by the memebers. If you like Aes and Lif, check out other Def Jux people. After scrolling up I see you have Edan, so another suggestion is Tame One - When Rappers Attack. I'll wrap this up by throwing out a couple other artist: Cage, Copywrite, ANY Wu-Tang, group or solo, Common, Black Star, Mos Def's early stuff, Sadat X, DJ Shadow (instrumentals, more good trip music), and Murs.

I know that's a lot to wrap your head around, sorry, and sorry it's so long. If you check some of that stuff out and like it, let me know. If you don't like it, let me know too. Maybe at a later point in time I'll throw out some more artists. Good luck, and remember, Limewire makes getting all of that easier/cheaper! And welcome to the world of hip-hop/rap!

Cool I'll have a look for them. Out of the ones I posted I would say Immortal Technique, Aesop Rock, Heiroglyphics and Cannibal Ox would be good places to start if you haven't heard them.

Yes! I'm really into the Def Jux stuff I've heard, and also this collaborative group The Atoms Family, are they Def Jux? I'm not sure. I like all Viktor Vaughn's albums. I have to say that for straight out talent and creativity Aesop Rock has just blown me away, such a unique style.

Also check out One Be Lo!

Looks like i'm in for download binge.

Atoms Fam is no longer around. Vast Aire, the half of Can Ox who is the slower, more punch line oriented rapper of Can Ox was a member. I can't remember if Vordul Megalah was a part of it too (the other rapper), I don't think so but not sure if you pay attention you'll hear them give Atoms Fam shout outs in songs. Viktor Vaughn is one of MF Doom's many aliases, I think Doom's best stuff is the stuff he does as MF Doom, like Mm Food, More Food, Operation: Doomsday, etc. He also lays down beats (under Metal Fingers) and does so much other stuff it's nuts, he IS the hardest working man in hip-hop. Another super group, if you will, like AotP I think is worth checking is The Weathermen, Tame One, Cage, Copywrite, Camu Tao, Vast Aire, and many others make it up, I forgot to mention them in my last post.

Edit: Don't let my saying Vordul Mega as the "other rapper" lead you to believe that there are more than two members of Can Ox. Unless you want to count El-P, but he's not really a member.

Those two groups might be the most unique out there (The Roots is far far better than J5, to me and to many other people, though.) Maybe check out The Fugees, that's meh kinda similar. It's really hard to make that jazzy hip-hop, most don't succeed. Common isn't jazzy, per say, but a lot of people who like The Roots like Common, and Mos Def, and Talib Kweli.

Not sure what type of rap your interested in but...

Any Mac Dre
Jedi mind tricks
Little Wayne (my personal favorite)

I highly recommend Eminems Infinite album. His lyricism is incredddddible in this (his first album?, back when he was good and didn't suck dick).

Oh and if your from the northwest id reccomend Blue Scholars. There really good, haha but they rap about seattle..

As previously said, both of those groups are very unique. But id say Hieroglyphics is the closest to J5, out of any group i've listened to at least. J5 is all about rockin the crowd and getting their word across, where as the Hieroglyphics have more of a double entendre to there lyrics
