You say Drake-I say Ice Cube

You say New school-i say shut the fuck up
You say Pop-I scream Hip Hop!
You say Hannah Montana-i fucking punch you in the face
92% of teenagers have turned to New school and Pop. Thumbs up this comment if you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music. Don’t let the real hip hop die!!!!11!!

Pretty baffled how no one has actually mentioned them yet especially Nujabes.

Nujabes is jazz / hiphop

Das Racist – Sit Down, Man http://dasracist.bandcamp.com/album/sit-down-man (rec: sit down, man ft. el-p)

Shut Up, Dude is slightly more enjoyable imo. More memorable tracks like “Rainbow in the Dark“, “Ek Shaneesh“, Shorty Said, Who’s That? Brown!, etc. So much fun on this album :D

Anything on the Stones Throw, Def Jux and Rhymesayers labels is recommendable.

I generally like it when artists are a bit more adventurous in their hip hop endeavours, like what you can find on the Anticon label.
