Anything and everything on Stone's Throw is dope dope dope. Been my favorite label for hip hop/funk/soul for a while now.

kid nyce i dont think kanye is whack at all. i think he brings some crazy innovative sounds to the table. i respect him as a sampler and producer. However i totally agree with you if your talking about kanye as a mc. as an mc like i said if he doesnt have cameos he sucks. he usually has good cameos too, unfortunately this album he tried to do it by himself rofl.

I'd add Talib and Common to the list as well. But Dead Prez are simply awesome.

when kanye first came out, i knew he wasnt a very good mc. i thought kanye's mic skills would have improved more by this album but either way his beats are good enough to carry him...though he should have thrown up his hot beats to someone deserving

You don't know about hip hop. With artists like Talib Kweli, Common still around and a new Wu Tang album and Raekwon/Ghostface album coming out.
Then there's the "underground" and up-coming artists like Immortal Technique and the new dude from Brooklyn that Dr. Dre signed by the name of Joell Ortiz, who's bringing that 90s NY hip hop back.
Real Hip Hop is still alive, don't get it twisted.

funny you talk up how wack kanye is, and joell ortiz isn't, but that last youtube contains a kanye-beat ripoff.
hip hop is not what one group thinks it should be, look at outkast. outkast has never stopped innovating, and without them the southern hip hop movement wouldnt exist as it does. but since they change and evolve are they no longer hip hop?
the roots, outkast, common, mos def. none of those artists fits into one grouping like: '90s NY hip hop' labeling like that is wack.
kanye has been a major force, mostly behind the scenes in shaping and changing what people expect of hip hop musically and sonically. if you want all hip hop to sound like big pun, then change will suck for you|
