Hip Hop

--- Quote from: mrjjbobo ---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.

You got Headshots Vol. 2 (Arrogance)? I'm missing Track 4 off that album and it's pissing me off big time. If you could upload that track I'd love you long time. In a non-weird way.
Anyone up on DJ Screw? Deep South Hip-Hop at all? It's major, major hassle trying to get DJ Screw tapes, except for unlistenably poor-bitrate incomplete rips that seem to float around various P2P places.
Radiowar:

Not to mention the number one man in town, DJ Krush.

Yep them too.
Can't forget Nitro Microphone Underground. They're pretty good.
MilkmanDan:
Never heard of Ozrosaurus, Steph Pockets or Nitro Microphone Underground.
I'l have to check them out.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
I don't listen to hip hop
I just don't get most hip hop, I like grime a bit, but I dislike american stuff. Quite. I remember listening to El-P's Fantastic Damage, and I just turned it off. Mostly it's the braggadocio that gets to me, which I realise probably means I dislike hip hop as a whole since it's near impossible to evade. Unless of course it's instrumental like DJ Shadow.
Some albums I did like:
Dizzee Rascal - Boy in Da Corner(even if it was fucked up)
The Streets - Original Pirate Material
Goldie Lookin' Chain - Greatest Hits(Straight Outta Newport in USA)
and some danish artists like Malk de Koijn(in small doses) and Bikstok Røgsystem.
Can anyone direct me towards non-braggadocio hiphop with something at least minorly interesting to say?
Catatonik:
Hmmm.
K'naan - The Dusty Foot Philosopher, is not about braggado but about the situation and hellishness of his homelad (Somalia)
Deltron 3030, is a pseudo geeky concept album about a freestyle intergalactic competition in the year 3030
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Volume 2, although there is moments of braggado, it focusses mainly on his dissatisfaction with the government and actually intelligent issues.
Mad Villian - Madvillian, geeky super villian stuf with weird samples great beats and a great sense of humour.
Internal Affairs - Sweet Home Babylon, no braggadacio what so ever, just a wry, wiitty and sharp look at our modern societies..I'll help you out with this one if you are interested as they are local and almost impossible to find.
Buck 65 - Talking Honky Blues, gritty Tom Waits-esque music, down country persona, thought provoking and often funny lyrics.
Other recommendations, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Mos Def, Blackalicious, Spearhead, Q-tip, A Tribe Called Quest, Nujabes...
