Hip Hop
Joseph:
K-Os and Jedi Mind Tricks are two I'm liking at the moment, that haven't been mentioned yet.

--- Quote from: a pack of wolves ---I was mainly thinking of the massive aversion and dismissal of a whole, big other genre. Plus, I don't think the bit where they play old school rave type stuff is a crossover you'd expect. They whacked on Trip To Trumpton last time. Genius.

Well, you know, I'm not so sure it's even dismissed. I mean, lots of indie kids seem to like rap, at least from indie rappers.
I've never really found any rap I can stand, even Hammertime gets on my nerves, but that's just me. I don't dance that way, and the beats and method of delivery screws up any poetry in it for me.
Catatonik:
I dunno, I used to think I couldn't like hip-hop, but time and exposure to some of the really good stuff, well...
It won me over.
MilkmanDan:
--- Quote from: mrjjbobo ---My Hip Hop friends think that my indie stuff is no talent junk, and my indie friends think that my hip-hop is all about guns, women, and the ghetto.
--- End quote ---
I wish I had more Hip-Hop friends to mock my indie favourites. Instead I have nowt but indie friends to mock my love of Hip-Hop and "dance crap".
I can't claim to straddle the divide (if there really is one), as I love Hip-Hop far far more than indie, but at least I try. Jeeeesus.
On the naming artists topic. No-one has mentioned Wu-tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Juelz Santana or Cunninlynguists which saddens me, as they are pretty much all I'm listening to at the moment on the strictly Hip-hop vibe.
I'm also keen as fuck on the Grime at the moment. Dizzy Rascal, Roll Deep, Jammer, Skepta, Ruff Sqwad, Geeneus, Kano, Black Ops, and so on and so forth.
Catatonik:
I had completely forgotten the Cunninlynguists though their most recent outing wasn't their strongest.
