How am I the only person to mention KRS ONE? Seriously, he is the most respected emcee out there. Period. Your favorite emcees favorite emcee.

Cosmic do you like Mac Lethal? He's a Kansas guy.

Also, I am a mid twenties white guy and YES I do feel like I am apart of Hip Hop culture. It is not just a inner cities social economic thing, its more of a state of mind. Its listening, relating, creating. I've sat around with a bunch of friends and free styled shitty lyrics over someone elses beats and it was a friggin blast. I've been to literally over a hundred shows, supporting my favorite emcees from down the block and those from Brooklyn and Queens.


Run and tell all your friends, an ancient civilization has been born again....Its a fact!

Alright, so I've seen mentions of Kris Parker (KRS-One), P.E, Nas, 2Pac, DJ Shadow, J Dilla (thank God someone mentioned him)...

Um, alright. Let me introduce you to some more. I have listened to rap since I was a kid since my sisters were really going on on the genre (and I didn't understand any word of English - I am from an Arabic-African country).

I'll put a song of each artist I have in my Winamp (read: music collection) and it's up to you to push further into your research. Beware: some language used (didn't you expect it heh)

Gang Starr (DJ Premier on the plates, Guru on the mic - RIP Guru )


Del The Funky Homosapien (you can look up Hieroglyphics as well)


Immortal Technique


Pete Rock & CL Smooth


A Tribe Called Quest (I could put all songs from "The Low End Theory" album here, but let's put something else)


Nujabes (RIP )


Eric B & Rakim


MF Grimm


The Roots


Group Home


And many others. List is way too long >.> Just for the heck of it, let me throw names:
DJ Krush, Black Sheep, LL Cool J (back when he was rocking bells), Jay-Z, EPMD, Onyx, Jeru Da Damaja, Last Emperor, DJ Jazzy Jeff (not necessarily w/ The Fresh Prince :p), Little Brother (and 9th Wonder), etc @.@

Oshi-, almost forgot Big Daddy Kane (do note that he is asthmatic)


Not-so-hiphopish but let's go!
Disposable Heroes of Hiphopcrisy (back when Michael Franti experimented with the genre)


Just do it.

Good list! I never knew Franti had any other projects before Spearhead (although I have heard that track before). Grimm is one of my favorites, American Hunger is a great album. I met Guru a few months before his death, he was a real dude. His whole Jazzmatazz works really opened Hip Hop up to other genres (Herbie Hancock!). I'm going to check out Group Home and Nujabes i've never heard of them before. Thanks for the suggestions!

Also, just heard a UK emcee Hyperaptive check him out if you haven't heard him. Heres another alphabet rap but its pretty good.
