I've always called the genre trip hop. If you're looking for more artists, I know some realllyyyyy talented ones that aren't well known. First there is Luke Vibert, humorous music and he is just the beat master, beats everyone at the beats. Second is Amon Tobin, really trippy music, all of his songs are works of art. Third is Blockhead, fourth is Future Sounds of London, fifth would be Crystal Method. Here are some links to some of their best work!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqNhu8CwHEs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKn3JpPfd2c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjR0-AmXFaM
And hey anyone who hasn't listened to Amon Tobin, should SERIOUSLY give him a try. I found him one night while way too high, and it changed my entire perspective on music. His music is really untraditional, but every single song is a masterpiece. And it's incredibly difficult to even compare him to any other artist. Check him out

I'm sorry did you think that trip hop was rap? Lol who needs rapping in a song, it doesn't bring a single fucking thing to the musical aspect. Do you hear the distorted voices in Insomniac Olympics? Who needs some idiot rapping about how much money he makes when you can create a sound like that?
You must not listen to hip hip or rap if you think that all they rap about is money and shit, and yes (hip) trip hop is a style of rap so it should have rap in it, you must be thinking of another type of psychedelic influenced music
meaningful or pointless lyrics I could care less which it is I just prefer pure music, there isn't a need for vocalists.

Really great suggestions so far, thanks a lot to you guys, I've been filling my library all morning. This thread reminded me of something I listened to a while back in my first years of smoking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6scVbHFgnQ A lot of beats from Three 6 Mafia were real good, at least from what I can remember. Lyrically interesting too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6o90frY7aU Somebody posted this on this forum a while back, I got the album and I really liked it. Not too trippy but pretty decent stuff in there. Underachievers and Flatbush Zombies too; check it out if you haven't already. Aaaand if you ever feel a more "light" and happy kind of mood... well, I'll just leave that here. http://youtu.be/tOFwiQ995Oc
