--- Quote from: mrjjbobo ---good west coast or southern rap, anybody got a few. (Keep in mind I am a  fan of complex beats and lyrics). Also, nobody but me is mentioning tonedeff, who quite possibly has the sickest flow in the rap world today.

Meh. Tonedeff is alright. I certainly wouldn't say sickest flow in the rap world today though.

West Coast -> Cali Agents (Planet Asia and Rasco, check the solo ish as well), Ugly Duckling, I must admit I don't really pay attention to what coast people are from.

South -> DJ SCREW! Gangster Pat, Devin the Dude, Z-Ro, K-Rino, Big Tuck, Juelz Santana, Project Pat, Hollow Tip, Three 6 Mafia. You could do alot worse than to try and find a copy of "Bouncin and Swangin" by Down South Hustlers. It's a great mix of all sorts of Southern heat. Probobly won't really be your thing, what with the 'complex beats and lyrics' thing. It's not really a Southern vibe.
Actually, ain't the Cunninlynguists from Kentucky?

I just got back from seeing Blackalicious at the ANU bar. Amazing.

The support act was one of my oldest mates' brother - a guy called Roshambo, playing with DJ D'Opus. If you're in the region, they might be a pair to watch - for a fairly unknown crew, they really got the crowd going, and they've got a fair bit of talent.

When Blackalicious came on, the crowd went nuts. In between others, they started off with Rhythm Sticks, My Pen And Pad, and really got the crowd going with an all-in version of Deception. (Don't let money change ya!). Gift of Gab was MCing for the most part, and he launched into some truly amazing free-styling, along with some old favourites. After a short break ("MORE!") they came back for some more freestyling, and we were treated to one of my favourites, Alphabet Aerobics, followed by some more tunes and then wrapping up with an amazing spill of Chemical Calisthenics.

If you get the chance to see these guys live, I highly recommend it.

I discovered recently that Mobb Deep joined G-Unit.  This made me very sad...Mobb Deep and NaS are the only reasons to listen to Gangsta Rap.

There are no reasons for listening to gangsta rap. I love underground rap, but I can absolutely not come up with a good reason for listening to gangsta rap.

- Atmosphere
- Sage Francis

This is the best hip-hop music in the world.

- Cage
- Brother Ali
- Cunninlynguists
- Immortal Technique
- Aesop Rock

Are also worth mentioning.

Another thing...anybody here heard of Looptroop and Promoe? If not, you really should chech them out. They might be a bit "local", and with local I mean that they are mostly known within Scandinavia. Still, you should all check them out. I could name some of their best songs:

Looptroop - Modern Day City Symphony
Looptroop - Bandit Queen
Looptroop - Fruits of Babylon
Looptroop - Fort Europa
Looptroop - The Struggle Continues
Looptroop - Heavy Rains
Promoe - Government Music
Promoe - Primetime
Promoe - Calm Down
Promoe - Dog Day Afternoon
Promoe - Fast Food World
Promoe - Kkkampain (yes that's how it's written)
Promoe - These Walls Don't Lie
