    Who is, the dude who do this. The dude who deliver dial-in diatribes duckin' mile-high piles of MCs committing suicide. A bunch of illiterate illigitimate significantly inferiority-filled fools who just fail to witness this. witness that. An MC who's not afraid to spit fact.

    I like hip hop beats/turntablism, like dj krush, dj shadow etc, but not a fan of rap. Dont mind stuff like de la soul and tribe called quest, but the new 'hip hop' like 50 cent, d12 etc is a complete joke.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I heard at BBc these 2 songs:

    Example - 'You Can't Rap'
    Dizzie Rascall - 'Industry'

    Very nice!

    I'm completely into N.W.A. after listening to Straight Outta Compton.
    Other artists I'm going to look into:

    Public Enemy
    The Roots
    Jurassic 5

    Any other non solo acts worth checking out? I sort of like Eminem, not enough to buy one of his album.

    Actually, forgot to mention Dizzee Rascal, think he's pretty good, and also Roots Manuva.

    Roots Manuva - Witness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbuSdXKtJX4&mode=related&search= Love how he's rapping about drinking '10 pints 'o bitter' and 'cheese on toast' lol

    Dizzee Rascal - just a rascal - Love this as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUa_grylsxA

    I thought some of Eminem's earlier stuff was ok, but the most recent album, and the stuff he did with d12 like 'My Band' was horrendous.

    lots of dead prez and the roots lately.

    I just recently got Jay-Z's Unplugged album with the Roots backing him. It really shows the possibilities of live hip-hop that very few artists other than the Roots ever try to explore.

    My favorite hip-hop groups in no particular order:

    Public Enemy
    Tribe
    De La Soul
    Run DMC
    Beastie Boys
    Jurassic 5
    Roots
    NWA
    Snoop Dogg
    Mos Def
    Common
    Wu Tang Clan
    Fugees/Lauryn Hill
