I vote for K-os as well. Especially his "Joyful Rebellion" album.

I wouldnt listen to an artist that doesnt think their the best. If they dont even think that why should I bother listening if theres better out there. I like cocky & confident, no wuss MCs over here... Im not knockin any artists in this thread most are actually legends.

Be sure to check "Mista Mista Scarface in the Nine Deuce".
+ YouTube Video

With more swagger than most rappers wish they had, Houston's greatest rapper can reflect with the best.

John Robinson all the way. And his album with J Rawls as Jay Are. Damn fine!

I think he just meant he doesnt want any gangster rap.

Daedalus, Flying lotus, Jdilla, Dj Krush, Dj shadow, blue skyblack death(really good imo), amon tobin, and the knux to just get you started.

Blackalicious....more notably, NIA. AWESOME album. A classic in my eyes. Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel were crazy together.

Add to that some Deltron 3030, and Del's solo Both Sides of the Brain. Those three albums came out at around the same time (2000ish).

More recently, I'd say anything by Atmosphere, or Felt (though the third installment hardly came close to the second or even first)....

I'm not much into the hip-hop anymore, but was a huge fan of underground and mid 90's stuff.
