I pretty much represent the memphis scene, even though i live nowhere near it at all haha. Lil Wyte, Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, Gangsta Boo, Indo G. you name it, if it's from memphis, i've either got it or heard it.

i'm there, m town reppin. haterz best be steppin. except i live sorta close to memphis, and i party with a lot of people that go to university of memphis. i own so many three 6 cds. choices is a badass album. their new one is pretty tight too. i mean, three 6 won an oscar (for writing the songs for  "hustle and flow")! they aren't 'rap group three 6 mafia' but fucking "oscar-winning artists Three 6 Mafia" it's about time they got some credit. i've been jamming wit em since 1996.

those guys are nuts! they used to have these ridiculous 8-bit looking games on their website that were hilarious and fun at the same time. i must have killed 10 hours playing them at work that week.

I know a guy who knows GLC. They're all, unsurprisingly, quite well off, not particularly chavvy students. They met at Cardiff Uni.

I just think they're perfect. The video to 'Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do' is just classic. With the pimped out spack chariots old person vehicles and all.

Seriously, though, I have yet to hear a hip hop band with any kind of redeeming musical value.  By all means, point me towards some groups that aren't about the abovementioned topics, and maybe experiment a little bit with vocal harmony or beat beyond the usual fare, and I will stand corrected.

the rap you are describing is (for the most part) contemporary, popular rap. which i will agree is almost always shitty.
heres a few that i like:

immortal technique
deltron 3030 (and everything else with del attatched)
mf doom
dangermouse
dangerdoom
non phixion
nujabes
public enemy (if you ignore flava flav)
beastie boys
chattabox
andre nickatina
blackalicious (he raps about science, c'mon)

theres also some really good underground rappers in my area (bellingham, wa) whos names i cant remember

um thats all i can think of right now. but seriously look some of those guys up, chattabox and non phixion might not be your style because i guess they still rap about "gangster stuff" but i still think they are good despite that. and non phixion does use some really cool beats that incorporate alot of stringed instruments and brass/wind instruments, giving it a really cool sound. that isnt "the usual fare."
and i strongly recommend immortal technique and blackalicious, they blew my mind when i first heard them and i still love 'em both.
