Kool Keith can do no wrong...also check out 'Black Elvis', 'Mathew' and his
work with DJ Spooky on 'Riddim Warfare' if you like 'Dr. Octagon.' Kool
Keith is an innovator, no doubt. What other MC can you say can come from as
many different angles and personas as him? Besides, the old Ultramagnetic
MC's work is some of the best hip-hop ever (IMO).
Also...
Madlib/Quasimoto
Living Legends Crew
3 Melancholy Gypsies (3MG's)
Mystik Journeymen
Five Deez/3582
Mood
Zion I
Planet Asia
Heiroglyphics
Rasco
AL
Slum Village
LMNO
Swollen Members
El-P/Company Flow
M.F. Doom
A lot of this is the Bay Area sound since Blackalicious was the comparison,
but similarly the rest tends to be on the more innovative side...no
bitch-slapping or gat-popping for the most part.
