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

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.

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
