Deltron3030!

Del the Funky Homosaphien + Dan the Automator = sci-fi-hip-hop-love-in.

and as mentioned above, De La Soul. The album Bahloone Mindstate is genius.

Haha, Del is hilarious. I always wondered if it's somewhat related to the song "3000" by Dr.Octogon, which pretty much has the same content. And if you like Del, you should definitely check out Dr.Octogon - Dr.Octogoly. It's terrific and the beats are dope.

I have to listen to De La Soul more :(. I have one of their albums, but only listened to it once due to having a kajillion new artists to listen to

yeah, I have Dr. Octogon, but I couldn't get into as much as I wanted to. Dan is a super-producer, but I'm not sure he's cut out for MC work.

seriously though, you can't go wrong with De La Soul.

I know! I think I'm going to listen to it tonight then. Dan is an excellent beatmaker, it somewhat reminds me of Cannibal Ox's beats

here's a hip-hop production i did a while back... kinda plain and simple but I really nit-pic the mixing and sound overall...

Hmm, I haven't heard the last 3, but I've heard of Prefuse 73. I'm not a big fan of Aesop at all though :(, but the course of Daylight has good lyrics. "All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day; put the pieces back together my way". When it comes to Def Jux, I'm all for EL-P and Cannibal Ox. I'll check the myspace link when I get home (myspace is blocked on the school computers :()

Am I the only one who thinks The Fugees - The Score is a masterpiece?
