I've been liking some hip-hop artists lately, like DF Doom, DJ Shadow, Company Flow. I wanted to expand my knowledge on this genre some...
Anyone got any ideas of artists similar to the ones I mentioned above? |

Get Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
That is one of the most amazing records ever. |

Yeah, I don't really listen to much hip-hop with rapping. I like the intstrumental stuff.
I'm going to download some RJD2 and Prefuse 73 stuff later tonight. (good albums by either of them would be nice) |

if you like them i would also recommend checking out the stuff i'm about to list, the thing with him hiphop though is that it has probably the highest rate of great artists who lose it after a couple of records, so even if you recognize some of the name on this list as being crappy commercial stuff, it's worth bearing in mind that they probably started out amazing MF Grimm - The Downfall of Ibliys Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Quasimoto - The Unseen**** Ultramagnetic MCs - Critical Beatdown**** Kool Keith - Black Elvis De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising****, Stakes Is High Nas - Illmatic**** Organized Konfusion - Extinction Agenda Blackalicious - A2G EP****, Melodica Scaramanga - 7 Eyes 7 Horns Outkast - ATliens Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet**** Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East, Wrath Of The Math Blackstar - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Blackstar**** Lootpack - Soundpieces**** Quannum - Spectrum**** The Perceptionists - Black Dialogue Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein**** Monster Island Czars - Escape From Monster Island Mobb Deep - The Infamous Gang Starr - Step In The Arena, Daily Operation, Hard To Earn A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory****, Midnight Marauders EPMD - Strictly Business El-P - Fantastic Damage Jungle Brothers - Straight Out The Jungle, Done By The Forces Of Nature |

Thanks for that list Toilet and Bowels. I've started downloading some of those and I've read about most of 'em.
I'll get back to everyone with what I think later. |

i like doom's Viktor Vaughn stuff better than MF doom- his beats are always great, though. you'd probably like Madlib/Quasimodo, too. madlib's a complete genius at producing. madvillain is him & doom, he's put out a million albums...
other hip hop i dig: Kool Keith Public Enemy KRS One EMPD edan Beans Dead Prez Del tha Funky Homosapien Pharcyde NWA The Roots Rakim

Although I don't know that much about hip hop soem of my favourite albums are: Dr Octagon- Dr Octagnecologist Concept album by Dan the Automater and Kool Keith about a space ginecologist from Jupiter. Its rad, trust me. Wu- Tang- Enter the Wu-Tang No explanation needed, best hip hop album ever. Big L- The Big Picture Awesome New York rapper who got capped. Edan- Beauty and the Beat Great album from last year fusing a lot of psychedelic sounds with hip hop in a totally non-lame way. Rawkus Records Presents:Soundbombing 2 Rawkus used to be a great record label and this shit was great. Featuring some of the best tracks I've ever heard from Company Flow, Pharoh Monch, Blackstar, Big L, RA tha Rugged Man even a really good Eminem track before he got wack
