Indie Hip Hop, but in a very Post Rock fashion.

Dalek are good chips, hip hop with thick shoegazery drones. Live you couldn't hear a word the rapper/mc/whateveryou'resupposedtocallhim was saying though, which kind of distracted largely from the whole point of it, but it was still quite entertaining. The laptop guy was fucking scary

I'll check out all of you guys' recomendations.

Murs
Restiform Bodies
Prefuse 73

Oh yeah, and Company Flow of course

Same here. Especially Why?, cLOUDDEAD, Sole, Subtle, and Themselves.

Murs, Slug
Eyedea + Abilities
Prince Po
Aasim
MF Doom
Cage
Atmosphere
Aesop Rock
Prefuse 73

...Shadow Huntaz!!!!!!! Produced by the Funckarma Brothers, motherf..!

And last. But my no means least. In fact undoubtedly first.

SAGE FUCKIN' FRANCIS

I read about Dalek in Terrorizer but never got round to listening to it.

My favorite artists are DJ Quik, Brotha Lynch Hung, Nas, Ice Cube & Wu Tang. Although I've been into the West Coast underground scene for awhile.

im a HUGE underground rap fan.

MF Doom (most particularly his collaboration with Madlib) called Madvillian
Jedi Mind Tricks (there album Violent By Design sounds much like Wu-Tang material, and i LOVE Wu-Tang Clan)

whos that guy with the alter-ego, with the super high pitched voice.....i forgot, but i hear good things about him

Atmosphere
Aesop Rock

I love me some hip-hop.

You have the Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture album? It has a pretty sick Del/Aesop Rock collabo on it.

=-o NO! shit i have to pick that up. im gonna be seeing Wu-Tang (along with Del, living legends, aesop, talib and mos def, immortal, and a shitload of others) at this hip hop festival called Rock The Bells in August. fuck im so stoked for it.

we never get shit like this in the UK, i'm so jealous!

I guess some of it's alright,

I like Clouddead, Jurassic 5, DJ Shadow, Sage Francis, etc.

But I'll take some Jay-Z or Wu Tang Clan anyday over those.

I don't like MF Doom, at all. Didn't like madvillain either.

this is directed to the serious folks,

before i go listen to everyone mentioned here, any ideas what would fit me best?

im a big kool keith fan. and i like the end of "cunninlynguists-since when" a lot, way more than the rest of the album. those are the only things in hiphop/rap that really appeal to me (that i've heard). so i guess off the wall stuff or real chilled out with a good beat. anything come to mind?

I want some beatboxey/turntabley bands (like shit connected to graphitti and scratching and things). I can't for the love of hell find any music though.

Howcomes?

Stuff like rahzel.

Recommendations/uploads pleeease :]
