MOVITS!
MOVITS! Now on iTunes/Amazon! on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

EDIT: couldn't get the damn youtube embed to work.

I normally hate rap, but I love Movits. I guess they're more of like jazz/swing/rap, but whatever. I bought their album today and I'm loving it. The music in the background actually has some composition to it instead of just a single beat being played under some lame samples like radio-rap.
They were on the Colbert Report the other night.

 

[Arminius]

wow, that's really cool What makes it really cool is that i can't understand a word they're saying

 

[Pingu]

Run DMC
Wu-Tang
Geto Goys
Dr. Dre
Ice Cube
2Pac
Nas
Notirious B.I.G.

Of course i'm kickn' it old school here.

My favorites are the Death Row era, so Ice Cube, Dre, and Snoop are obvious. Past that, Busta Rhymes' 'When Disaster Strikes' is amazing, his first few records were.

DMX. Eminems first two records (What the fuck happened after that, Marshal?) Public Enemy of course. Buck 65's early work was great for a white canadian.

Immortal Technique, one of the best out there IMO.

 

[evilmnky204]

I'm mostly into the older-type stuff, I'm just a bigger fan of it personally. So for that type, I'll recommend A Tribe Called Quest (The Low End Theory), De La Soul (3 Feet High and Rising), Ghostface Killah (get Supreme Clientele and Fishscales), GZA (get Liquid Swords), Madlib (Shades of Blue), Madvillian (Madvillainy), MF Doom (MM.. Food), Mos Def (Black on Both Sides), The Roots (Do You Want More?!?!?!!, Illadelph Halflife, and Things Fall Apart), Nas (Illmatic) and The Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers).

If you're into newer stuff, Doomtree, Deltron 3030, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, P.O.S., Immortal Technique, Copywrite, CunninLynguists are particularly good.

Viktor Vaughn
DMX's first album (phenomenal, really) - It's Dark and Hell is Hot
NAS - I am
Notorious BIG - Life After Death
Eminem's first 2 albums
Anything by Mystikal ( he had a few albums out already before he got big )

Cool Kids & Clipse

 

[telecaster90]

Jedi Mind Tricks
Immortal Technique
Dr. Dre
Snoop
Tupac
Ice Cube
NWA
Cypress Hill
Afroman

Also, check out Lil Wayne's 3rd mixtape, Da Drought 3. It's all freestyle and I like it a lot better personally than his commercial shit.

 

[djpharoah]

to all the guys who love real rap and not this new shit.

 

[Forresterc]

Jedi Mind Tricks has been the only group that i have ever heard and been impressed.
Thats is the only recomendation i can give.

I think Rap is way to full of trash to really care about.
