Hey GC, There's not a lot of hip hop where I'm from. I've always kinda liked it, but my knowledge is limited, and I've not found a lot of stuff I really liked (People Under the Stairs, Army of the Pharaohs and Jurassic 5 are the only ones who have stuck) - can you recommend me something really good? Your favorites maybe? I don't know much about the genre! Just for kicks, for those of you interested, this what rapping sounds like in Norwegian: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ4RBDIoS3s]Klovner i Kamp - Nattens sønner - YouTube[/ame]
PUTS is my favorite hip hop group... glad they stand out Check out: Five Deez Basic Vocab Scarub One Be Lo Little Brother J-Live Slum Village (Fantastic, Vol 2) Cyne Jazz Addix Elzhi Zion I The Strange Fruit Project Blue Scholars
This is a great list. You should definitely check out Slum Village and pretty much anything else from Stones Throw.

I hit you with some of the very best my tiny nation has to offer, Klovner i Kamp is legit. That particular track (Nattens Sønner = Sons of the Night) kinda mixes traditional Norwegian storytelling, which is usually dark, forewarning shit, with modern day urban drama, one of my faves for sure. Thanks for all the pro tips, but you guys better slow down, I'm still working my way through this, so much music so little time! Tribe Called Quest hit the spot! Been stuck on them since I lit up lol
