Check Aesop Rock, KRS-One, and if you want some more modern tracks I'm diggin' Atmosphere, Lupe, and Tech N9ne lately.

As for as the whole East vs. West, as far as I know, it was more a 90's thing and the beefs between rappers aren't as serious any longer, at least not as far as geographically.

KRS-ONE is a Hip-Hop pioneer and part of Boogie Down Productions, their album Criminal Minded is a classic.

If you like Wu-Tang, check out Only Built for Cuban Links by Raekwon the Chef.

I second that notion. Definitely get that album. Two is pretty good as well.. Just go thru the Wu and get everything they have all done.

i've noticed that the majority of hip hop fans on this site are more oldschool, mid 90's swag. But hip hop today is still something worth listening to. I may be a "commercial" fan but i still really enjoy modern hip hop. J. Cole, Wale, N.E.R.D, Lupe Fiasco, and of course Kanye. There's a lot out their. Just keep you ears and your mind open .
