Edan rapping over a Prefuse 73 beat. Both of them have very visual styles and it would most def. be interesting.

Mos Def featuring Roy Ayers. Kinda like Talib Kweli's song "In The Mood" with Kanye West.

I would love to hear a kanye produced Mos album.

So what do you guys listen to when you're not listening to hip hop?

oh man good question and sorry I didn't see it sooner. Before I really got into hip hop I was into punk and ska so from time to time I like to throw on some old Millencolin, NOFX, Mad Caddies, Unwritten Law, Less Than Jake and Pennywise albums.

These days I listen to some indie rock and I'm really enjoying The Black Keys right now. An upcoming band that I'm diggin is called Bad Veins. Also like the North Mississippi All Stars.

An all-time favorite though is Jimi Hendrix. Still listen to a lot of Hendrix, particularly Are You Experienced?, Band of Gypsys and Axis: Bold As Love.

Right now, looking to get into Jazz a bit more and I see somebody made a huge list a few pages back and I definitely plan on checking that out when I get some more free time.

Re: fans of underground rap?

I love "Absolute Value" too JMood!... and "Claim to Fame" by DL Incognito is ALWAYS stuck in my head. That beat is genius. I really respect artist/producers. Tough tough job.

[jmood88]

Re: fans of underground rap?

I've been listening to Claim to Fame almost nonstop since I downloaded the album.

Re: fans of underground rap?

I've been all over DL Incognito - his beats are just sick. I love claim to fame, fresh to death, atmosphere and best years. Should be on my short list at the end of 08 for sure.

[X*Cell]

Re: fans of underground rap?

yeah I love "Claim to Fame", "Owe It All To You", and "These are My Adventures" and I also like "Too Late Now" and "Best Years (I Care)".

Re: fans of underground rap?

Brother Ali "undisputed truth" is basically on loop in my head for about a week now. I know it came out late 2007 but its all good.

The song "Uncle Sam *******" at about the 45 second mark is rediculous.

Also thru your guys recommendation of DL Incognito I came across an older group called "Classified". They are alot like Atmosphere.
