I'm not a fan, but a good beat goes a long way with me. I'm also a big fan of rap/rock when it's done correctly.

Agreed. I used to love this guy.
This was a really catchy song. Thanks for linking that here.

Outkast has some pretty good stuff that sort of combines hip-hop, rock, and electronic.
Also they semi-predicted the Iraq War.

Hollywood Undead is a pretty heavy stereotype rap band(bitches,money,drugs etc) but I actually like them. They have some serious songs like Black Dahlia which is amazingly emo lyrics. They also have a drummer and guitarist and bassist. Which makes them more respectable.

'I wish I could I could have quit you
I wish I never missed you,
And told you that I loved you,
everytime I f**ked you
The future that we both drew,
and all the shit we've been through
Obsessed with the thought of you,
the pain just grew and grew!
How could you do this to me?
Look at what I made for you,
it never was enough
and the world is what I gave to you
I used to be love struck;
now I'm just f**ked up
Pull up my sleeves and see
the pattern of my cuts!'

I like trip-hop (does that count as hip-hop? Never really understood the differences).

Massive Attack's great. The Gorillaz also have some really great tunes.

I like Blackalicious as well. He's definitely got a vocabulary.

Hip Hop is quickly becoming my favorite genre

Buck 65, Sage Francis, Bike for Three!, dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip and The Roots. I also really really like Jay Z!

Unfortunately, people focus on people like Wayne and 50 when it comes to judging rap as genre instead of the ones that actually rhyme about life and things that matter.

Let me introduce you to Atmosphere.

I like it.

I really enjoy Saul Williams, Aesop Rock, The Roots, Optimus Rhyme, and The Coup.

Common is pretty good at times. Look up "Be". It's an short-but-great song, if a bit religious.

My music collection is mostly comprised of rap, but I doubt anyone will have heard of the rappers I listen to.
Oh deary me, is that a challenge? Shoot, I swear I'll be truthful on whether or not I've heard of them.

*Grins* Epic. I consider myself to be a tad knowledgeable on hip hop and I know...five of those? Maybe six. I know of Crooked I because he's part of the Slaughterhouse supergroup, who I love right now. Tech N9ne, Keak Da Sneak and a few others but...are some of those local artists? I'm interested now... ;)

Perhaps I should post some London based artists sometime.

The French rapper MC Solaar is a shining example of tolerable rap. French is a lovely language to rap in.

There are only 2 local rappers on the list: DMG, who is part of Scarface's group Facemob, and I Self Divine. The rest are mainly from California, a couple from the midwest, and one Canadian.

You'd probably like Aceyalone, Frontline, Sly Boogy, and Zion I at least. Most of the others make pretty gangsta music, if you're into that sort of stuff.

And please post some London artists. I can't imagine Lady Sovereign is a fair representation of the hip-hop scene out there, and she's pretty much the only UK artist I've heard.
