Another Rap Request Thread

But here’s the difference - I’m fairly well versed in the rap and hip-hop world. I need good beats. Please, please, please, no G-Unit, 50 Cent, Eminem, Lil’ John, etc. or any of that club-bangin’ bullshit.

In this vein:

(^ First song only.)

I mean, those are a few examples. I’m very familiar with most “backpack rap” and undergroundish hip-hop as most would have it, (Little Brother, Murs, Kaze, 9th Wonder, Kenn Starr, Gang Starr, Canibus, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, etc etc etc) and am more looking for larger artists with good beats I may have overlooked. Obviously I’ve heard 2001, Doggystyle, The Infamous, all the classics. Don’t insult my intelligence. :slight_smile:

I’ve recently been investing into some mixtapes from more well-known artists, and actually have actually found some decent shit - which sparred the creation of this thread.

I don’t care if it’s hard, laid-back, old-school, new-school; whatever. If it has potential to be on MTV, I probably wouldn’t like it.

Thanks in advance.

Ratatat- these guys make some good beats, and have 2 remix albums with vocals from popular rap songs here’s an example (rapping from Memphis Bleek):

Dizzee Rascal has some good stripped down beats (mainly on his first two albums, but he’s still good):

You probably know this one but if not, Clipse’s Ride Around Shining:

anything off of “only built 4 cuban linx”-raekwon

Also, Cy Fyre makes some good beats, here’s a mixtape he made with Kanye West songs:
