Any of you...

[IsiliRunite]

really really into hip-hop and rap music, almost as much as electronic music or your hypothetical other genre? Any MCs, or producers in the house?

Explain your tastes and preferences if you will, lets get some passing of genres going and maybe new hip hop listeners if we are on point and rull educated.

The Coup's stock is beyond a reasonable doubt inspiring. I don't agree with *everything* they put in words, but the music is awe inspiring.

Recommended here somewhere. I think it was ggrooove(sp?) and someone else.

I love hiphop, mostly the 80's/90's stuff. Fav's are

A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
Cypress Hill (Temples Of Boom)
Eminem
Gang Starr
Nas
Snoop Dogg

instrumentalists:
DJ Krush
DJ Shadow

The music I make is kinda inspired by hiphop as well.

And the past couple of years, Holland has contributed some really good hiphop as well. You probably won't understand the lyrics, but try looking up Opgezwolle for some really good stuff.

Favs are:

Cyne
The Roots
Blue Scholars
Nujabes
Tribe
OutKast
K-OS
