Here's some recs for you then. I've bolded the essential one.

Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full/Follow The Leader
KRS-One - Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop

Nice, glad you liked! I don't think that album will disappoint. He's got Emancipator doing a couple beats, plus he's an enormously talented producer in his own right.

Anyone have any recommendations for some experimental hip hop? I don't mean experimental as in "that guy sometimes raps about sort of odd things", I mean experimental music along the lines of K-the-I??? or Dälek or Shabazz Palaces' weirder moments.

Anyone?

According to your Last FM, you somehow managed to miss The Money Store by Death Grips. You NEED that record.
Their newer album NOLOVEDEEPWEB is always well worth the listen.

If you just want the beats, check out Prefuse 73 and check out Jel (J.
Bike For Three! or Buck 65 might fit that criteria.

I already have The Money Store actually, it must be one of the many things that apparently haven't gotten scrobbled when I listened to them. Decent album though for sure.

I'm familiar with all of those already except for the Russian one. It sounds cool though. I'll definitely have to check that one out. Thanks!

I would definitely also recommend Buck 65, specifically his 2005 album Secret House Against the world
