That caught my eye too. But you have to remember that a lot of these rappers a little while back like NWA and Ice T had huge white followings. Without them they probably wouldnt be as well off as they are right now.
And Hip Hop is the shit. So is the video and a couple of remixes that i have on my computer.
THX - you have just gained major points in my book. 311 - Awesome. I dont really care much about what some people think of them but they have never been incredibly mainstream (not that thats always terrible. Or is it?) and they keep changing though they still sound like 311. 311 concerts are basically the only concerts i go to.
Anyway, i could list a million songs but half the shit i listen to im sure others wouldnt enjoy but what the hell:
Hip Hop:(The) Time Machine - anything of theirs almost. Hard to find for free though
M.O.P. - They have so much music its hard to hand pick a song or too that anybody would like. They are more hardcore underground. A good mix of hip hop and some radio rap. A couple good songs are power, ante up, cold as ice, blood sweat tears. The list goes on
OH NO - He\'s madlib\'s little brother. Not to bad either. I have his cd but again, hes hard to find for free
Tribe Called Quest - This is a nobrainer. Award Tour, Bonita Applebaum, Electric Relaxsation etc etc.
Gangstarr - another older guy. Moment of Truth, Skills, Just to Get a Rep
Princess Superstar - You\'ll either love her or dispise her greatly. Most will probably hate her but shes goofy, dirty and doesnt give a fuck. The best part is - SHES WHITE (had to say it). Bad Babysitter, Come Up to My Room, Keith and Me (one version sucks and the other sounds way better. She has them on her web site.
Electronica (general):LTJ Bukem - hes been in the game for a long time. He does mostly Jungle and DnB. Most people like him when he does solo projects because his partner - MC Conrad sounds to annoying. Personally i like him either way - Anything from him
Michael Gray - I just picked up one song of his called "The Weekend." Its not bad but its not spectacular. Semi dance - ish and repetative.
Geri (Halliwell aka ex Ginger Spice) - Her song Ride It is decent for those dance/euro people.
The Prodigy - another no brainer
Utah Saints - Just heard of them - more or less. Lost Vagueness is a decent song but i think the (oliver Lieb vocal mix is the best). Another semi repetative one.
Omni Trio - Mellow relaxation electronica. Not very Dance - ish - Fire and Native Soil are good songs
The New Deal - An electronica band. Odd yes but true. Not half bad
Banco de Gaia - Obsidian
Break Beat Era
MC Tali
Trip Hop:Wagon Christ - He goes by a lot of names but the song "Shadows" under his wagon christ name is decent - not to out there for the non trip hop fan.
Portishead - Some people like them some people dont.
Massive Attack - Same deal as Portishead - Teardrop
OK THIS IS GETTING TOO LONG. I COULD GO ON FOREVER IN ALMOST ANY GENRE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IM TIRED.Well if anybody is still reading this point, If you like skate punkish stuff check out Pennywise.
Why i had to add that: I dont know.
