Alright guys, I can add stuff into the main post if you want, but if you suggest something write a one or two sentence spiel about it so people know what to expect. I'm not just gonna star throwing artists up there.

I think you should include De La Soul in the main post. Primarily because they were an essential group among the Native Tongues (Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers). And their album "De La Soul Is Dead" is arguably one of the most important hip-hop albums ever. Its production was wayyy ahead of its time, and listening to it now you can hear dozens of samples that were later lifted by other hip-hop artists. The only thing that comes even close in this regard is Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" (which is easily one of the best albums ever made, in any genre!)

Eric B. & Rakim deserve a mention too. Some of Eric B's production was kind of cheesy, but he had his fair share of hits...and Rakim, I really shouldn't half to explain why Rakim deserves a nod...he's Rakim! The first truly GREAT MC who changed the landscape of rhyming. 'Microphone Fiend', 'Eric B. Is President', 'Juice', 'Follow The Leader'...all classic hip-hop tracks.

For fans of Liquid Swords, you guys really gotta check out the DJ Muggs & Gza record, 'Grandmasters'. You're missing out, I'm tellin ya! I up'd my favorite song from that record..check it out it's pretty sick.


Other artist additions here: De La Soul, Black Star (Mos Def + Talib Kweli), 9th Wonder, Common (particularly his '94 album 'Resurrection', DITC (Diggin In The Crates), KRS-One, The Coup (Oakland-based rap duo that are on a revolutionary, 'fuck the government and take back your freedom' type tip, a la Dead Prez), Dead Prez! ('Let's Get Free' is the album I'd recommend), Blue Scholars (Seattle-based MC Geologic and DJ Sabzi...anyone living remotely near Seattle knows what's up with these guys...they're just super fresh...recently signed to Rawkus.




Got Geogaddi as your avatar, and my taste in hiphops.

Tbh, I only have heard from that list is Mos Def, De la Soul and The Coup. Listening to swollen members now, I liked the first song I heard.

I'd add disposable heroes of hiphopcrisy, and luniz to that as well. The former (and latter) I heard first on John Peels show.

Scarface. He's been around since at least 1994, and I'm just getting into his work.

Thanks for the suggestions, I don't know much about hiphop and I guess this is as good a place of any to get started.

Nice list and descriptions as well Jewunit. Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein has to be one of the greatest hiphop albums of all time. I love EL-P's production work! Is there any chance you could upload a Company Flow album for me?

Speaking of Def Jux, I heard Del's new album and was let down. I thought his flow sounded a lot less fluent than it was before. His production was decent but he just didn't seem to drop any real cool funny rhymes like he's known for doing. What'd you think Tangerines? I know you were looking forward to it as well.

Just so you (and others intersted) know People Under The Stairs is Double-K and Thes-One. They both produce and mc and they are a fan of the funk and old-school style. Really groovin, chillin jams. I have not heard a bad song by them. very good.

Now to branch on to my own reccomendations.

Gang Starr is also at legendary status. DJ Premier is master of the chillin, true hip-hop beat with Guru one of the best lyricists ever. Guru had a very laid-back monotone style, very easily indentifiable. They had a lot of affiliation and they are out of Brooklyn, New York but they are now broken up.

Now if you like golden age of hip-hop stuff or just plain classics look into Boogie Down Productions, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim, Pharcyde, Al Tariq, Diamond D, Big L, Large Professor, Lord Finesse, Mad Skillz, Nas, Biggie, Pete Rock, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick, Snoop, Tribe Called Quest, Warren G, Public Enemy, and of course Bone Thugs

For underground i suggest MF Doom, Madlib, KMD, Breakestra, Company Flow, Cut Chemist, Digable Planets, Gravediggaz, J Dilla, Jamal, Kid Koala, Nighmares on Wax, Portishead, Sage Francis, Souls of Mischief, Wildchild, 5 Elements, Jurrasic 5, A.D.O.R, Aesop Rock, and Atmosphere.

I know some of these have been mentioned, some not. If anyone is interested in any in particular i can elaborate on them but for the meantime i'll just group them in those two categories. Life is funny when you're a hip-hop junkie and a dead-head.

^I agree with you about Gangstarr. If you haven't heard of them, you gotta check them out.

^I disagree with you about P.U.T.S. though... I think they have lots bad songs. They're latest album, Stepfather is mediocre at best. Lyrically thes-one is pretty horrible and his voice is lame. I think he produces most of their tracks, which he is good at. He just cant man the mic.

With that said, "Acid Rain Drops" is one the chillest songs ever created and remains one of my favorite hip hop tracks.

Breakestra and Portishead? Really? Where do we draw the line as to what is hip hop and what is not?

Don't get me wrong, I definitely agree with pretty much everything you said, I just wouldn't throw those two in a hip hop thread.

And you mentioning Guru reminds me, if you like jazzier shit, do yourself a favor and check out Jazzmatazz. All of the albums are solid as fuck. (That goes for everyone, not just publienemy.)

That's just my subjective opinion on PUTS. Thes-one does most of the producing and I will agree that he doesn't handle the mic like Double-K but he can hold his own... he adds another nice flavor to the combo in my opinion although i do understand what you're saying. Stepfather is my favorite album by them, i thought it was really polished, had a nice flow between the tracks, production was top notch for sure, and double-k is the mannnnn on that album, freshest lyrics on his behalf. "Acid Raindrops" is a great song and i still love it but i've heard it crazy times and i prefer "Outrun" "The Breakdown" "Pumpin" Jamboree parts 1 and 2 "San Francisco Knights" as they really stand out to me as the legit PUTS sounding tracks.

To Jewunit - I understand what you're saying about Portishead and Breakestra and maybe i should take them out but I was high as hell when i typed that up and Portishead is really good trip hop so i just threw them in there. Breakestra does some hip-hop jams with double-k and some other mc's and they are groovin as hell so i thought i would throw them in as well.

I have heard the Jazzmattaz volumes but only a couple of them... they are solid. Jazz rules and he' the Guru for a reason (My Favorite MC)

originally posted in the indie album thread. check out the song "December 4th".

DJ Danger Mouse & Jay Z The Grey Album.rar

This is similar to the Biggie and Sinatra album posted a while back, but IMO much better. I personally don't like Jay-Z but the production and concept for this album is pretty sweet. All the beats are crafted from the Beatles White Album. They are mixed with Jay-Z's Black Album. White Album + Black Album = Grey Album.
Hope you enjoy!

Nice thread....I was thinkin about making one of these.

Id like to add:

Andre Nickatina. Wanna know what the bay is all about? Not a ton of substance but great production and creativity.

Dead Prez. I can't stand behind all of their work but there are some good tracks, no doubt.

KRS-ONE. Did yall really leave him off? Hes the teacha, the best of all time. He drops serious knowledge. Any of his albums are dope except for spiritually minded.

Ras Kass: Just 2 tracks here but trust me, its worth it

Nature of the threat-this is basically a history lesson of human civilization from the beginning of time until now

Ordo Abchao-Latin for "Order out of Chaos"

Tech N9ne: Unless youre from the midwest, you probably only know his radio singles which are way too mainstream but his first 2 underground cds (which are really rare) are "the worst" and the "calm before the storm" and are classics.

and BTW Immortal Technique deserves way more credit...
