Alright alright...
so i see a lot of you guys spouting things like, "HA! You think 50 cent is REAL hip-hop?? how ignorant blah blah blah"
so who are some artists that fall under the category of "real" hip-hop?? |

| digitul punk |
| AFAIK, try looking up stuff by Atmosphere.. they are pretty good and non commercial.. (i could be wrong though) |

| Hip-hop, not rap, is a movement, praising Africanism, graffiti, skateboarding, etc. Artists like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, A tribe called Quest, De La Soul, Common (although it seems like he's selling out nowdays), all portray the skill that hip hop is. |

Check out some of the UK stuff.
Taskforce, Skinnyman etc.
I don't tend to like American hip-hop much, but I guess Public Enemy is an obvious thing to recommend. |
