Is this a common thing among big fans of indie and hip-hop? I'm just wondering because that kind of attitude would be an anathema to most people I know. There's a punk and hardcore club I go to where they always drop stuff like Dizzee Rascal, Dead Prez and Roots Manuva into the set and it packs the dancefloor, so I just don't get it.

Hell no. If anything, (and I hate this phrase) the "indie scene" that I know, fully embraces hip hop...as long as it's good.

Radiowar:
I'm getting into Japanese stuff. m-flo, Loop Junktion, Ozrosaurus, Steph Pockets...

MilkmanDan:
Tha Blue Herb?
Not to mention the number one man in town, DJ Krush.

mrjjbobo:
man, wow, so much good stuff.

so, to recap some thoughts and provide some answers.

1. How could I forget to mention Immortal Technique, I love Immortal Technique, I quoted him for my round table debate senior year of highschool.

2. I allready mentioned Jedi Mind Tricks, Dark Flame.

3. Hat, Atmosphere is my favorite Hip-Hop group and my second favorite musical group of all time. I have all their albums which I could list, but it's easy enough to find. Also Check out anything else by Rhyme Sayers entertainment (sp?) I am a fan of Brother Ali and P.O.S. They all have beats made by Ant (Atmospheres beat man) so it's mad good. Also check out the Felt Albums, they are colaborations between Slug (of Atmosphere) and Murs. If you buy Atmospheres new cd, You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, it comes with a sample cd of all the artsits on Rhyme Sayers.

4. MilkMan Dan, I avoided mentioning Wu-Tang cause they don't do much for me at all. Well, I do love the video game, I'll kill all ya as ghost face.

5. est, I love de la soul, but was really just mentioning new school underground which leads me to my next point

6. elcapitan, I specificaly pigeonhole it because hip-hop is an abused and misunderstood term. If you go on itunes and grab yourself a cd of DMX and a cd of Beans, they will both be listed as hip-hop/rap despite niether even being romotely similar to the point of needing to be in different genres. So here in this post I only site underground hip-hop, though for the desire for unity, I don't argue weather or not the groups posted by other members are "indie" or not.

I forgot:

AdeEm (check the sp on that one)

Catatonik:
I'd also add Buck 65, folk hip-hop with Tom Waits undertones.

Very gravelly and entertaining and the man kick ass on a turntable.
