Great album.. Also Like Water for Chocolate is good to (a few tracks were produced by J Dilla which is a plus for me)

On another note you'll start to notice you can categorize the genre in so many different ways without realizing it (west coast vs east coast (im talking styles here not beef), hip-hop (boom bat) vs rap, commercial vs underground, et cetera) which will help you search for artist that fit to your likings. I find that sometimes the digging is just as entertaining as the music itself.
I've got a lot of problems if I want to subgenrerize (is that even a word?) hiphop. Whilst rock and electronic music are subgenrerized to death with subgenres within each subgenre etc. There don't seem to be any obvious sub-genres in hiphop. Which is a positive thing, but it does make the digging a lot more difficult.
Roots of Hip hop - Afrikaa Bambaataa, Universal Zulu Nation, Melle Mel, Furious Five (this is the true B Boy / B Girl era)
Old school Hip hop - Marley Marl, Kurtis Blow,
Golden age hip hop
New School Hip hop / rap
... sorry to stop this half way but im just gonna post a bunch of info on listening to hip hop in the wiki that way people can add onto it. ill post the link after.. hopefully it will help
