Let's discuss some hip hop.

I would love some more recommendations. I dislike a lot of Wu Tang and all of the folks involved. A lot of their cd's have similar styles and I guess I just dislike those. I love stuff like Low End Theory, Mecca and the Soul Brother, Jurrasic Five, KRS One, etc. I guess it's the jazzier, smoother rap (imo). Anything that is a bit less known perhaps? I know a lot of the main stuff everyone mentions (Nas, Pac, etc). I am trying to move beyond that.

Stuff I currently and previously enjoyed

Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Aesop Rock - Labour Days
Common - Resurrection
CL Smooth and Rock - Mecca and the Soul Brother
KRS One - KRS One
Nujabes - Metaphorical Music
Nujabes - Modal Soul
Dalek - Abandoned Language
A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
Jurrasic Five - Quality Control
Mos Def - Black on Both Sides
Sole - Bottle of Humans
Deltron 3030
Subtle - For Hero: For Fool
Deep Puddle Dynamics-The Taste of Rain
Outkast - ATliens
Blu And Exile - Below The Heavens
Blue Scholars - Bayani
Blue Sky Black Death And Hell Razah - Razah's Ladder
Del - Both Sides of the Brain
Shape of Broad Minds - Craft of the Lost Art
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
De La Soul - The Grind Date
Devin The Dude - Waiting to Exhale
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead
Madvillain - Madvillainy
MF Doom as King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader
Omega One - Lo Fi Chronicles
Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher
Oh No - Dr No's Oxperiment
Pharoahe Monch - Desire
Saul Williams - Amethyst RockStar
Souls Of Mischief - '93 Till Infinity
The Roots - Phrenology
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
alias - the other side of the looking glass
RJD2- The Third Hand

I like a lot of stuff with some more meaningful lyrics, great flow, etc. Add some albums and some descriptions or something. Maybe we can get something going.

Ah. I listened to a few songs of his ages ago too. He had one where he rapped near a dumpster or something I vaguely remember. In an alley perhaps?

If you like Aesop and you like jazzier stuff, get his album Float. It's fantastic. "Basic Cable" is a standout track.

Get Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus

Tons and tons of quotable lyrics. The flows are pretty jagged/abstract and it takes a few spins but it's my favorite rap album evah - great, spacey production, totally unique and killer beats, and just amazingly aggressive rapping.

I also dig Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele
GZA's Liquid Swords
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

AND

basically everything EastHastings named

Am I the only one that thinks each album has gotten worse and worse? I love Overcast, in fact I would even call it one of my favorite rap albums. The next two records were pretty solid as well but I havent been interested in any of his stuff since? Is it just me and my losing interest in rap or has the music gotten worse?

Gravediggaz - 1-800 Suicide is fantastic. Forgot about that song.

Also, KRS One kills on MC's Act Like They Don't Know. That is one of my favourite songs.

I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit
Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit
Now tone it down a bit
My title you will never get, I'm too intelligent

Unless it missed it, Dr. Octagon should most definitely be on that list. One of the best rap albums of all time.
