Hoorah for the aforementioned M.I.A, Beastie Boy and Outkast. I'll add Dilated Peoples, De La Soul, Pharcyde and Jurassic 5 to them too.

And i loves me some Roots Manuva, quite possibly for the string intro to 'Run Come Save Me' alone. British rap artists like Dizzee Rascal, Estelle and Streets strike a chord too, probably due to how they remind me of where i live back home in ol' Birmingham.

>Beastie Boys
I don't really count them as rap.  Did anyone else think their last record well, kinda sucked?  Older = better in this case
>Notorious B.I.G.
I personally diggit, I can see why people wouldn't however.  Definite gangstah tendencies
>Jay-Z
Black Album was good, not a fan of earlier ones
>Outkst is very good.
Ouch.  This just hurts.
>Ice Cube needs to be mentioned. His stuff is pretty funny and socially conscience.
No comment.
>Cypress Hill
See 'Bands we love to hate' thread.  Ouch.  Yea, verily...  Ouch.

i love outkast, dj format, AIM, akira the don, shit like that. rap is an easy genre to write off because so much of it is about marketting and image. there are some goddamn jems if you know where to look, though. blackalicious have already been mentioned, i like dragon ash who are like japanese emorap (i know, i know) i think we talked about saul williams already, but i thought he was a slam poet? regardless, he's still very good.

i think, fo all the hip hop doing well eminem is the ony one with any artistic integrity, his lyrics and thoughtful and funny and just generally awesome.

oh, and everyone should listen to goldie looking chain, awesome chavcore welsh rap combo. inciteful and funny, rock on.

Robbo:
And they all have things like Chemistry PhDs which makes it all the funnier.

zekterellium:
i remember seeing an interview with them, and they were talking about philosophy and the state of england and all, it was fucking insane. all the time, i'd thought they were serious. it was such a shock.
