Best Rap out there right NOW!
I've been out of the rap game for a long time now, mainly exploring deeply into alternative rock. I want to get back into rap music that's hot and out right now, but I have no idea where to start.
Don't come in here with Kanye West and T.I.P. and shit, I know about them, all I have to do is go on MTV.com to find those artists. I want new stuff, stuff that doesn't get main radio play, but shit that's hot. Annnnnnd GO!

I've heard nothing but good things from this Vanilla Ice character. Apparently he offers his words to your mother.

Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne is my favourite Hiphop album this year. A Milli is the best beat I've heard since 2001. (The Dre album, not the year.)

I've never been a huge fan of Lil Wayne, but his older shit from like 2000 is better than that.

to listen to, my fav labels right now would be Def Jux and Stones Throw. NY and Cali.
But recently I've been feeling Downtempo. I'm working on my freestyles and I think Trip-Hop and downtempo beats work best. I like Mark Farina's OM label for that shit. Freestyling to Downtemp/House/Trip-Hop beats is my thing right now |

I'm waiting for the new Swollen Members, Mad Child and Cage to drop. But I gotta go downtown to get those.
I love MF Doom beats. Anything from Operation Doomsday, but it's impossible to get |

Bad ASS
I had a sweet radiohead shirt that said meeting people is easy or some such, I only had it like 3 days, and I got like these 5 buttons, I think Slint, Radiohead, Wolf Parade, Spoon, and I'm not really sure of the other one, but anyway I left it in this girl's car and after we split she never gave the shit back. Her name wasn't Katrina but as an homage to both of our stories i will now post the entirely ambigious (it may or may not be about the hurricane) Katrina by The Black Lips: |

2 people listing Mr Scruff in this thread.
Other than JusJus, with Roots Manuva, how can any of his stuff be considered rap? Its more House than anything. |

Do you even know what house is? |

THEY?
Funny, because Mr Scruff is one dude. How do I know this? I go to his club night in Manchester pretty much every month. experimental hip hop my nuts. how could you pigeon hole his back catalogue into such a lie? |

And just because HE is on Ninja Tune, doesn't dictate the genre he produces. White Stripes brought a record out on Sub Pop, hardly makes them a fucking grunge band now does it?

yeah ok sorry I thought you listed Roots Manuva and Mr. Scruff and whatever as non hip hop but THEY are with Ninja Tune (worked with)
I am probably wrong on the fact that Scruff does house in England (from what I heard, I havent heard his "house" shit that you speak off. I know he's one dude. I just skeemed through your post too fast) MY BAD (I was probably drunk when I posted that, got too excited)
