i know underground hip hop is sweet, but some of the best rap is old stuff from like 1992-93-94. old snoop dog and the first outkast cd are are both sick, and alot of good songs to put in videos
 
It's all about gangster rap before 1995 came around

now its like immortal technique, blackalicous/gift of gab's solo stuff, jurrasic 5.

Otherwise its about the white kids, especially aesop

jedi mind tricks is really good too
