Rap minus lies equals hip hop.
Some one read that off of a t-shirt to me. |
Intelligent hip hop, does that even exist?
I just thought it was a bunch of kids with guns talking about how much stuff they have, and how much you don't? |
Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar. Album is genius, and a reminder that hip hop isn't limited to money, cash, hoes. Also, The Roots Phrenology. Upbeat, and not 'gangsta', but very creative.

'dirty acres' and 'a piece of strange' are a good place to start with them i guess. http://www.myspace.com/cunninlynguists dr. octagon's (dr. octagon being one the many names of kool keith, who's other material i haven't really checked out) album 'dr. octagonocologyst' is a fantastic piece of work, easily my favourite rap album. it's pretty trip-hoppy though and the lyrics are incredibly abstract. it's not really everyone's thing but damn do i love it. not gonna post a myspace for dr. octagon cause it's all stuff from his new album which isn't as good. |
blackstar definately.
