Need to get more into ra and hip hop. I am very selective about what I like, but I find I like stuff that is on the more jazzy side.

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
The Roots - Things Fall Apart

stuff like that... what are some other ones in this style that I should check out?

hieroglyphics - third eye vision

little brother - the minstrel show

all heavy on the jazz samples, all featuring some of the best rappers to have ever graced a booth.

Arrow Grandmaster Flash - The Message.
The Message is a funk/rap/hip hop style classic.

I think you should snag Freestyle Fellowship and Haiku d'Etat and Mikah 9 / Myka 9 and Abstract Rude and Aceyalone.

Start with Freestyle Fellowship - To Whom it May Concern

I think it's just as or more important and entertaining than, say, the Roots' or A Tribe Called Quest's early 'classics'...

Freestyle Fellowship is kind of like the 'Anvil of hip-hop' in that they were kind of forgotten, never got the amount of respect they deserved...

You should probably try to find the album Mikah 9 - Timetable...

Here's a couple tracks from these guys...








radio freestyle
