Samwise, you would appreciate this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLraLApzXO8 Binary Star - Honest Expression

i followed the underground scene once I saw hip hop turning into hip-pop.

the game nowadays is broken, but kendrick lamar is giving me hope. he's carrying hip hop on his shoulders alone.

that binary star song is exactly what i appreciate. those lyrics man <3

Listen to mainstream rap: Assume it's all shit. Logic.

As someone who comes from a strong music background; hit me up if you want to know what to really listen to.

most of the songs you guys posted were at the time, main stream single hits.

you really got to listen to the full album to pick out the gems that never got enough press.

Kid Cudi - Mr. Rager: I don't really consider Cudi to be hip-hop, but Man of the Moon 1 and 2 are two of my favorite produced albums. Just incredible. A lot of people don't really like him, but I do. Indicud was a major letdown though.

Macklemore - City Don't Sleep: Easily my favorite Macklemore song, was the first song that got me into him (*cough* I'm a hipster boost my ego *cough*)

Thieves in the Night - Blackstar

We Know Something You Don't Know - Jurassic 5 and DJ Format

I think Jurassic 5 is pretty much the embodiment of quality, earnest hip hop. Also let's face it, Chali 2na has the sickest flow that has never been matched.

This is the definition for hip hop. lyrical content, word play, flow.
