A Tribe Called Quest

2Pac

Biggie Smals

Notorious B.I.G.

Nas (illmatic is considered one of the best rap albums of all time, and stillmatic is good too)

Jay-Z (some of his older stuff when he battle Nas was great)

Mos Def

Talib Kweli

Pharoah Monch

thats a pretty big list of some great rappers with none of the mainstream stuff (other then some of Jay-Z's new stuff like empire satat of ming, which is also based off of new york state of mind by Nas) so you should check them all out, also Sugar Hill Gang down to the Cold Crusg 4 is prettty old school, so ya

The recently deceased Eyedea.  No one has mentioned him yet.

Highbrow: Anything involving Mos Def

Fun: Ludacris, Missy Elliott, Timbaland

From My Youth: Cypress Hill (Black Sunday in particular)

Foreign: NTM (Even if you don't speak French, it's just adorable how hard they try to sound intimidating.)

Compilation: Soundbombing Vol II

Turntablism: Kid Koala (Ninjatune is amazing), Qbert

Why has nobody mentioned Flobots yet?  They might be Alternative Rap/Alternative Hip-Hop but it's pretty much my favorite rap group.  "Fight with Tools" (2007) is the main one to check out by them.

Maybe their to busy riding their BICYCLES

Onomatopoeia was out in 2001 but that was before they where called Flobots.  Agreed 2004 is probably to early, but I was more so commenting about the recent three posts.  Maybe they haven't discovered them yet, I can only hope it's that. ;D  Handlebars gets stuck in your head, and Rise is a powerful song that get's stuck in your head.

Handlebars for sure. A great song IMO. well .........a fun song.
