I'm sure there's a topic buried somewhere in this thread but I'm lazy... so post any hip hop acts, (instrumental or not it don't matter) or rappers that you like or want to recommend.

I'll start by saying that 'Darc Mind' off Anticon are DOPE.

Cyne
40 Winks

Heiroglyphics
Cunninlinguists
De La Soul

A few there to get on with

^ de la soul <3


roots manuva
ghostpoet

also i love the sample in this one song but the guys a bit of a nob

I need to re-listen to that Ghostpoet album.

Also, as I was listening to some Madvillain recently, I'm gonna reiterate how good some of that is.

And on a similar note... DAT REGULAR SHOW SAMPLE

This song is stunning, the lyrics are the best I've heard in hip-hop. Such a shame he is no longer with us anymore, so talented.



This guy has some proper insights. Highly recommend this to everybody.

suprised anyone knew what i was talking about saw him at the waterfront in norwich, really nice guy. he came and chatted to the little crowd while altj were on. before they got huge that was, the crowd was only about 30people. nice little night that was.

http://hivesinquirysquad.com/track/who-goes-there The beats on this album are from outer space

http://samuraioutlaw.bandcamp.com/ This song has been on repeat for weeks for me.

"Charbroiled Charizards"

<--- Amazing

As is this

Psyche Origami.

I used to be a massive hip-hop fan, but most of it leaves me a bit cold now.

I loved the Wu Tang Clan albums and most of the (early) solo albums from the members (Method Man's Tical and GZA's Liquid Swords especially).

I have been digging out some old Gravediggaz recently.

Dr Octagon's Dr Octagonycologist is essential. Bonkers, psychedelic hip hop.

That's awesome. I didn't even know this existed lol

I've been wanting to check out RJD2. I know I love his tune used in Mad Men.

I'm not really a big rap fan - I like what a lot of other people like. De La Soul, WuTang.

Oh yeah, I really like this old school track!

not in the circles I visit, but I think that Black Up is the best hip hop/rap record of the past 5/10 years, at least since Madvillainy.

also been repping this lately, Wu ain't dead!
