"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

Jesus Walks - Kanye West
99 Problems - Jay Z
B-Boy Document - High and Mighty
Sound of Da Police - Krs-One
24's - T.I


That's all that's playing on my Zen right now even though i have over 1000 songs

Kanye West - The College Dropout

Jay-Z - The Black Album

OutKast - Speakerboxx

Mario Winans - Hurt No More

Twista - Kamikaze

D-12 - D-12 World


Pretty strong songs on all these albums

I know most of the artists thats not really a problem. recommend me some albums or particular tracks worth listening to. There is quite a lot of crap on quite a lot of albums, but there are also some absolutely lethal tracks too but they are hard to find if your not a full timer.

Common

KRS-One

Tribe Called Quest

High and Mighty


Basically stay away from G Unit and Nelly and you're all set really.

Kanye West

Jay-Z

OutKast

D12

don't worry it will never take over. Jsut a part time deviation for the occasional listen. I'm not gonna bling up or anything and be attacking rude boys with with my 3 tonnes of bling, or suddenly decide that i am infact an albino black man.

Get some Babyshambles, purify yourself before the poison flows to far, and the wounds cut too deep.

save yourself.
