Like alot of people I don't like most of the mainstream rap that's been out for the past 13 years. I listen to alot of old school and underground hip hop, and even the crappers that I do listen to, I just listen to them for beats. I'm looking for more rap to listen to that's preferably socio-political and have good beats. I like Ice Cube (his older stuff), Akrobatik, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Public Enemy, Digable Planets, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Shad (he's ok), Skee-Lo, Kam, Jurassic 5 (they're ok), and Dilated Peoples are ok. Who are some other underground and international hip hop artists with similar styles to the ones I mentioned? I've been searching on Pandora and haven't found much.
I'm also a huge, huge fan of South Korean rap...Dok2 is pretty much at the top of that game, though it may be a little too much like American rap for your tastes...
Underground:
I don't know what is "underground" anymore, lol. I stopped listening to the radio years ago, so I'm not sure what is well known and what isn't. =/ So excuse me if I'm posting stuff you already know!
