I thought I agreed with that but I'm listening to Beats, Rhymes and Life now and surprised myself that I liked it more than I recall, certainly not as good as the previous 3 lp's tho.

I'm not looking for the same exact sound as The Roots. I'm just looking for Hip Hop that's made by real musicians. I'm looking for r&b or rap... No 50 cent, eminem, beyonce, Bow Wow, Fergie type stuff.... I want real musicians

Anything by Radius & copywrite..

UTFO..

Roxanne Shante/Real Roxanne old school right there.. I'd add Biz Makie.. Catching the vapor. Kool G Rap..It's a demo.. BDK.. Aint no half steppin.. IMO rap/hip hop was the best in the 80's.. Too many posers in the 90's.

Can anyone comment on the newest offerings by Talib Kweli?

 

[Manny Calavera]

I really like all of his stuff (Talib) Eardrum is a cd I am very much looking forward to as well.

I was digging in the crates of old Head-Fi threads and came across this gem today.  There are some really good Hip-Hop recommendations on this thread as well as some not so good ones.
 
Here is my list of the best Hip-Hop performers:
-- The People Under the Stairs
-- Thes One (solo stuff)
-- The Cunninglyguists
-- Kno (his newest solo stuff)
-- Pete Rock
-- DJ Premier
-- J Dilla
-- Black Milk
-- Marco Polo
-- Blockhead
-- 3rd Bass (very underrated) 
-- Mos Def
-- MF DOOM
-- Common
-- 9th Wonder (any of his solo albums or work with Murs, Justus League and Little Brother)
 
Lastly, the best website for up to date "real" Hip-Hop news is:

great thread to rise from the dead... also great list.  One artist who is far less known then should be is Cormega.

Dj Shadow mixes a lot of old hip hop (my favorite)     and the prodigy has an album called "Dirtchamber Sessions" Very very very good album definitely worth anyones listen....
