thanks for all of the responses. Anything a little more Eminem - ish (more gritty, a little more diverse beat) than ATCQ and the rest?

I've become a big fan of ATCQ, De la soul, The roots, Pete rock and CL Smooth, etc. The lyrics are phenomenal. I'm looking for something with a little more variation in the beat, a little less jazzy, a little more hard core. But still I'd like the lyrics to be meaningful, no little wayne stuff. Thanks

thanks, not really liking it so much though. Still a little too much like what I said before. What do you guys think of talib kweli and how he relates to the artists I mentioned? Thanks

talib kweli is super boring to me.

Is it golden 90's hip hop your looking for?

maraca2020 · 05-26-2010, 07:21 PM

not really sure wha that means. As I said, I love the ingenuity of ATCQ, just the simple background and the jazzy quality got a little old

if its the production you don't like off ATCQ and Pete Rock etc, I'm not really sure what to tell you. All had pretty great beats.

You could check out Organized Konfusion, same general time period but more raw.
