^ I don't know about that, Atmosphere has its thug moments too, them and Aesop Rock and Eyedea get way too much attention for being considered "political". But, I guess when you compare them to crunk juice rap, they do things a lot better.
And, good luck finding people who like the PoR compilations, cause most of the folks here seem to not like them. But, I agree with you- they are a good start for people trying to make a transition into the music.
