I don't listen to that much hiphop, but I definitely have to concur with the Super Chron album. That is brilliant...
I might be imagining it, but is a super chron track used on a car advert at the moment?

More bass, vicar?
not wishing to be a pedant but it was Eve on 'You Got Me' that rapped with Black Thought. Before she went solo, and was, lets face it, a bit crap.
Erykah just sang the hook..
She can rap though, but only about as well as Missy Elliot can sing..
Enjoyed that muchly - will have to give the album a proper listen - have listened (and liked) to it a few times since you copied it for me but get distracted and forget to go back to it - can see it being more rewarding with repeat listens
Do it. It is a grower, for me one of the best hip hop records I've heard, and Woods is like some kind of rap titan on it.
Soz, yeah, you're right, did know that.
I like Erykah's last album, spesh the one about hip hop.
If you like the laid back, "daisy age", Tribe, De La Soul, Pharcyde-ish type stuff...

i tend to like hip hop which is a little positive (but not cheesey). Just not into the tough guy thing.
Giant panda - fly school reunion. The follow up electric laser sucks.
Edan - beauty and the beat
Themselves - the no music
The Grouch - Simple Man- Beans and Rice Sampler has some great tunes
Collective efforts (self titled)
and not strictly hip hip but the herbaliser - blow your headphones is very good.

hey guys, cheers for all the recommendations- still working my way through the first several posts so this whole thread should keep me occupied for some while.
Much appreciated- peace to y'all
I used to *hate* hip hop with a passion, I always thought the c in rap was silent but then I moved in with one of my now best mates and he introduced me to the good stuff. I can still pin point the 2 tracks that really switched me on to this whole thing- 7L & Esoteric- word association and Gangstarr- Full clip.
He stuck em on one night we were smoking and that was me hooked- instant beat junkie haha

Is that the album with 'the blend' on it? One of my all time fave tracks.
I like all sorts, the gritty stuff, the positive, the wordplay stuff, stuff I call 'punch line' rap (not too serious, just clever, funny rhymes and a nice beat you can get your groove on to), the tough guy/ gangsta stuff (I don't take it seriously- I just like the imagery etc) and the subjects lend themselves to good records.
If anyone knows what I mean by 'punchline' rap recommend me some of that gear.
It's hard to find non cheesy +ive stuff so I'll check out your suggestions. Cheers SOS

Got a few apathy and celph titled records somewhere, not listened to them in a while so might dig em out and have a re-listen.
Cheers for reminding me about Pro Green, heard one of his freetsyles before. I can't remeber too many specifics but lines about the streets/ mike skinners and necking e's and having huge pupils featured. I'll have to hoke it out here.
