hip-hop recommendations?

i love Blackalicious, some other Quannum artists,
Deadringer by RJD2 - and Endtroducing... DJ
Shadow, if it is considered hip hop... so far i think i like
the "easy", melodic kind best - Square by Buck 65 was
good i guess but i didn't love it (and i don't listen to it
often at all), i'm not sure what to think of Madvillainy -
but i'm open to all suggestions.

"Theres a bunch here you most likely know allready"
> i've just heard the names and a few extracts at best, i
really don't know much hip-hop at all : )

and yes i've checked a Stars Of The Lid track... ambient
stuff, if i remember, nice but it did not exactly blew my
mind. i'll have to check out more maybe.

the dead texan is prolly a better starting point (its a guy
from SOTL)
anyhow of the hip hop deffinatly check sage francis and his
album a healthy distrust
anything cLOUDDEAD related is always good in my book but
that might be me ebing a big why fanboy

instrumental hip hop check dj krush or the ryu thing
yer an dthe other stuffs cool too hehe

2 classics:
- De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
- Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full

DJ Vadim - U.S.S.R.: Life From the Other Side

And get Mr. Scruff's mix album Keep It Solid Steel. A lot of
classix there, and a potential guide to other artists

if you want something mixed with good experimental breaks
and beats try anti pop consortium and Beans on warp

if you want a oldskool 4/4 try some public enemy, cypress
hill, de la soul

even some beastie boys

more recent stuff could be:
2pac, notorious big and snoop dogg (just doggyworld is
wonderful)

those are my favs
not really into other bands or i would blow up on the window

MC Buttman
"I love men's butts"
"I want to have sex with Daniel Radcliffe (in the butt)"
"No ifs just butts"
"Butty boom scutty"
"I'm the butt man (scee badda beeda butt!)"
"Butt fantasiezzz"
etc, etc,
