My recommendations
 

Old school hip hop that is out living todays rap by far. The Roots, Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, NWA, Rotten Razkals to name a few.

meh, I didn't like that beat change. I liked it more at 4:00 more so than the one at 3:00.

Don't see Rottin Razkals mentioned very often. They were kind of like Naughty By Nature's understudies. Found this rare remix of their hit 'Oh Yeah' by Crazy C on youtube a while back. beat reminds me of ATCQ Hot Sex, but better

i really like this guy

Hes on stonesthrow as a kid. He's going to make grounds within the next decade.



Once he outgrows his pretentiousness(hopefully) at least in such a blatant way, and tones down his kina contrived wordyness, it doesnt come off as indicative of the beats all the time- i think he's going to be a defining force if anyone cares for a rapper who doesn't look cool

I got what your looking for. Check out the new single "Feels So Good". LA Music Award winner hip hop artist of the year…search for Jonezen Feels So Good on YouTube

Rappers from other countries
 

ANybody else down with guys like Classified and Hilltop Hoods? How bout Swollen Members….

Song that changed me
 

Not sure if you have heard it. Its a pretty obvious one. Blackalicious - "Make you feel that way". Just the song you need to hear

I am far from being a hip-hop expert, basically I enjoy listening to ATCQ and De La Soul. I want to check Brand Nubian and I wonder which album would be the best to start with?
Thank you.
