Well, I gotta pimp a local MC, K-Os.  He has two albums out, and they're both fantastic.  Each one is more of a book, a tapestry of awesomeness woven over the entire album.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---It's not that I stereotype or castigate rap as a genre. I can give it respect (well, not the mainstream stuff, but anyway...)

It's just that I've never heard any rap or hip hop I liked. And I have heard beyond the MTV mainstream somewhat (mainly through forced listening threads and the like): I disliked Jurassic 5 and Cypress Hill annoyed the crap out of me. And man, I have to say the Streets, who I've seen come up here now and again, as well as on places like pitchfork, are hands down probably one of the worst bands I've ever heard.

It just doesn't seem to really do anything for me. I'm into music for the, y'know....music....

Just adding a contrary voice to this thread. And trying to be as polite as I possibly can.

Well, I can see your point. From what I can tell of your music tastes (this based solely on what you've been posting here), you are into the metal / industrial kinda thing, so the J5 isn't the right place to be looking.
It's all about the old funk breaks and is a bit... cheesy. I love it, but not everyone does. Also, lyrically, not great. Most of J5 is about their own rhyme skills, which is a bit tiring, especially as only Charlie 2na ever really impresses. I still ike J5, but not as much I did, as you can probobly tell. Still fucking amazing live though, no doubt.
No, what you need is darker, more industrial twisted stuff.
I therefore suggest Cannibal Ox, Boom Bip & Dose One, DJ Krush, Busdriver, Aesop Rock and some Anticon stuff.
I'm not exactly Hip-Hop incarnate, but I like to think I know my stuff, and that's the best I can come up with. Off-hand anyway.
I take my Hip-Hop evangelism quite seriously, so if you PM me I'll work some sort of AIM / Bittorrent / hosting thing and get some songs to you.

In other news, Hip-Hop is still awesome, and I've already plugged everyone I wanted to in the last Hip-Hop thread. So I'll restrain myself from listing them all again. Except one.

LISTEN TO MORE ATMOSPHERE!

I don't really count them as rap.  Did anyone else think their last record well, kinda sucked?  Older = better in this case

Yeah they were a LOT better when they were singing about how they hated faggots and how much it TOTALLY BLEW that their parents wouldn't let them PARTY.

Fuck the Beastie Boys. Fuck them and their faux-social-conscious, oh-look-we're-not-bigots-anymore bullshit suburban joke-rap.

"we got ONE SCHTICK and we DO it on EVERY song where ONE OF US says something and THEN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE GROUP CHIMES IN"

Trinary:
The best thing about the Beastie Boys has always been Mix Master Mike.

Cpt.Fantastic:
I can't remember what site I was on, but there was a guy who said that Led Zep sucked and rap ruled, then another person chimed in with this gem:

'Y'all are gay if you don't like Led Zeppelin. All rap is is some black person talking gay.'

A masterpiece. Totally true too.
