"Recommend me some rap/Hip hop"

I Used to stay with my rock and indie, and a bit of more mainstream stuff like tupac and dre, but i have found my self listening to increasingly more Rap and hip hop to supplement my fine tastes over the last few months. Been listening to a bit of DMX and Ludacris, some of outkast's non hey ya kinda stuff. Basically i like things that flow well and have quality basslines.

can anyone Reccommend me some good artists/tracks?

thanks

pump it up aint bad.

I prefer Fire by him and busta rhymes

Rule 1 of listening to Rap/Hip-Hop :-D

Rule 2 of listening to Rap and Hip Hop, stay away from anything by 50 cent and anything that has chumps repeatedly saying G-G-G-Unit. Lloyd Bank's solo stuff is pretty decent though.

Oh and also stay away from Camron and any of those dip set freaks.

Good tracks to check out would be...

Redman - Smash Sumthin
Redman + Method man - Da Rockwilder
Jay Z - Big Pimpin
Mark Ronson feat. Ghostface + Freeway - Oooh Wee
Talib Kweli - Put it in the air
Pharoah Monche - F*** you
Eminem - If I get locked up

Anything by the following artists:

Jurassic 5
A Tribe Called Quest
Busta Rhymes
DJ Format
Mark B & Blade
Pharcyde (psst, this is the most fantastic song ever: [URL]http://www.alistairgray.co.uk/pharcyde.mp3[/URL])
Del Tha Funky Homosapien
Deltron 3030
Beastie Boys

Fave tracks at the moment:
X-ecutioners - Live at the PJs
MOP - Bloody Murder

If you're sick-minded, the Gravediggaz are perfect. ;-)

if you're sick minded Big L - Dangerzone or Big L - All Black are peeeerrrfffeeecccctt. lol

Also Big L - Put it On is a legendary rap song

And the new Shyne song, More or Less, is quite atmospheric.

Ok someone recommend me something.

I like it to sound a bit underground and have quite iteligent rhyming.

Only stuff I like at the moment is some stuff by some stuff by Dialated Peoples like Caffiene, Simon Says by Pharoahe Monche, Oh No by Nate Dogg, Monche, Mos Def and thats about it.

Grandmaster Flash :-P

House of Pain - Jump Around :-P

Maybe by that first stuff you can see where I'm coming from in terms of how stuff sounds.

BEastie Boys new album is good...

It's rap without the agrro.. which is nice :-)
