[Closed] Dilated peoples (hip hop) anything else awesome that I've missed?

Ugly Duckling.
People Under the Stairs.

The Roots ?

Will look up now. More triphop but these are good

KMD

Jurassic 5 are difficult to beat IMHO. The Roots. Revisit some old Tribe called quest.

Digable Planets?

Jurassic 5 are difficult to beat IMHO

Good call!

DJ format. Ugly Dan Greenpeace. The pharcyde. People under the stairs / DJ format.

Or listen listen to a different Yoda album and look up lots of the samples.

Alternative below;

Or listen listen to a different [s]Yoda[/s] DJ Andy Smith "Document" album and look up lots of the samples.

Lyrics born.

DJ Yoda is a good shout, his 6mix hip hop mix was great;

[s]from a previous thread:

Made this Youtube playlist from a previous STW thread:

Great variety of old, new, classic & underground stuff - Includes the Foreign Beggars one just posted..[/s]

Then I Remembered...

Clipping.

Kid Koala
Edan
Deltron 3030

Jurassic 5 or

The Pharcyde

Always liked some Blockhead.

Another old thread of stuff - http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/hip-hop-you-dont-stop

Not heard the Dilated People's in a while...
Nas Illmatic is of a similar vain.

Mf Doom
Viktor Vaughn
GZA
Abdominal
Madvillian
Roots Manuva

UD, Format and J5 already mentioned. On top of those I'd recommend Blackalicious, early De La Soul, Aesop Rock, Giant Panda, Language Arts Crew and Cunning Linguists. If you like rap with a positive or political message try B Dolan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Brother Ali and The Coup. There is some really good Hip Hop out there. What passes for it in the mainstream makes me sad.

Some other great recommendations above. Really hope you find something to satisfy your ears

Since good calls above

I'd like to add

Aesop rock
N.A.S.A.
Handsome Boy Modelling School
Aim

Run the Jewels.

Aesop Rock... Inexplicable side project the Uncluded with Kimya Dawson from the Moldy Peaches, I can't get enough of this stuff

Hora, welcome to mine, Rich's and James' world.

Dangermouse
Awon
Akua Naru

[i]Aesop Rock... Inexplicable side project the Uncluded with Kimya Dawson from the Moldy Peaches, I can't get enough of this stuff[/i]

Have everything by him! The Uncluded album is delicious!
My fave single of last year:

I ain't jokin

Dr Octogan

Also, sage Francis, Kate tempest, dab la sac vs scroobius pip and abdominal.

Oddisee, Bishop Nehru, Damu the Fudgemunk,maybe check out King Underground website. A UK label with good artists on the roster.
I'd also highly recommend Sadat X, from Brand Nubian and also Kool Keith (but he's probably an acquired taste).

DJ Format and mc abdominal are touring the UK as we speak

Some great suggestions above. Also look up:
Quannum projects
Binary star
Cannibal Ox
Atoms Family
Kool Keith (as above, definitely an acquired taste!)
Dead Prez
Atmosphere
J-Live

DJ Format is from Chandlers Ford . True fact.

Some great ones referenced above, I'm impressed !

From that 2000 ish era my favourite was Quasimoto ,The Unseen , the alter ego of madlib

I'd add in the Menagerie, cut chemist, dj nu mark, professor elemental (more chap hop these days, but that might float your boat), dr syntax. More recently, rizzle kicks isn't far off the sound, and some other similarish themes might have you liking imperial leasure
