could someone post some songs that are good, not hyphy stuff, or gangsta rap, more chill music like video tapez ft. del by amplive. hip hop stuff, with sick beats
 
you want songs or artists:

here are a some of my favorite tracks-

Obviously if you like Del-- his best (IMO) stuff is on the Deltron3030 album w/ Automator and Kid Koala (best songs: mastermind, memory loss, 3030, things you can do, positive contact) - their second album will hopefully drop this fall.

Others:

Souls of Mischief- '93 til infinity'

Zion I & Grouch- 'silly putty' , 'Z & G'

Tommy Tee- 'takin ova'

Jedi Mind Tricks (hardcore, but not gangsta)- 'animal rap' 'on the eve of war'

Army of the Pharaohs- 'battle cry' (same sound as above)

C-Rayz Walz- 'zelda'

Sage rancis- 'sea lions', 'crack pipes'

Aesop Rock- 'none shall pass' 'daylight' 'oxygen' '9-5ers anthem' 'big bang'

Heiroglyphics- 'adrenaline'

7L & Esoteric- 'wrestlelectro' 'feudal lords'

Cunninlynguists- 'seasons' 'lynguistics' 'mind state'

Whoridas- 'get lifted'

Bush Babees- 's o s'

older Nas stuff is good ('the message', 'affirmative action')

older Xzibit ('paparazzi' '3 card molly')

lyrics-wise I prefer MF Doom (and all of his aliases), and Aesop

Hope that helps

 
hilltop hoods

mos def

nas is still just as good as he was back when, but illmatic is legendary

common

talib kwali

and i've got to say this: i know everyone hates on kanye because he's mainstream, but if you'd just listen to the man you'd realize he's got real talent, reminds me of nas in his youth. i know you all are gonna hate on me for liking a mainstream artist but i don't care.

 
ha i like kanye too, TI too, they are the only mainstream rap i like. TI's accent is sick

Deltron 3030, whole album

LAX by tha game has a song called "let us live"

its very chill and made me think of AZ an Del

its not your typical westcoast gangsta rap track, it has a very underground/eastcoast(NYC) feel to it

hit it up, all of LAX is good despite not being underground
 
slacker.com

its a lot more diverse than pandora and has much more options. use that huge list that guy made and then use slacker and you'll find soooo much new underground you've never heard
 
my threads

way too many songs to look at right now, after i look at all of them ill try to post some that havnt been posted
 
The entire True and Livin CD by Zion I is incredible

GZA - Legend of the Liquid Swords CD

Talib Kweli - Ear Drum CD

Rhymefest - Blue Collar CD

People Under the Stairs - Fun DMC CD

Styles of the Beyond - Megadef CD

Cunninlynguists - Southernunderground CD
