I definitely recommend the French TTC (Big Dada/Ninja Tune) as they are
bringing something quite experimental to hip-hop with a great sense of
humor.
On the classical side, I've been enjoying SLUM VILLAGE as well.

Subject: [idm] hip-hop recommendations
Yo playas,
I've really been getting into hip-hop lately, a genre I have ignored for
so many years. So I'm seeking for recommendations for really good indie
hip-hop albums.
I have enjoyed a lot of the stuff I've heard from Dej Jux, so I figured
it would be a good place to start. The question then stands: what do you
think is the best thing Def Jux has put out yet?
That Ping Pong by the Anti-Pop Consortium is a pretty tight tune, would
Arrythmia be worth purchasing? What about Herbaliser's Blow Your
Headphones or Something Wicked This Way Comes? Or some hip-hop classics,
are there some records you would consider essential?
Yeah, I still think I should at least start with the indie-stuff - I
wouldn't feel worth my Converses if I listened to mainstream hip-hop.
thanks,
