Anyone into it?
I bought Atmosphere's "God Loves Ugly" a while back and recently rediscovered it. I forgot how beautiful it is, it's truely great lyrically and rhythmically.
I'm also quite into Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Unkown Prophets. I used to visit Emceebattles.com and watch this guy by the name of Eyedea just rip shitty rappers apart with such lines like "MC's like you shouldn't even start shit/i'll buy you a new outfit but i won't go to Target" (that's not word for word mind you). I found out this Eyedea has an album and i'm downloading it, so far it's great.
I respect indie-rap because it's original and usually lyrically superior than the newest Bently blingin' phenomenon on TRL.

underground hip-hop is definitely great. The Living Legends (the Grouch, Murs, 3MG, etc.) are great. The stuff on the radio's shite.

indie hip-hop! i lurrrrrve it!!!
there's a hell of a lot of good stuff coming from my end of the pond (ie. Canada): Buck 65, Sixtoo, the whole of the Peanuts & Corn crew
Atmosphere are practically underground legends. 'Overcast' from 1997 is a classic! 'The Lucy Ford EPs' is a must buy also.
anything on Def Jux is a must (yes, yes. Cannibal Ox, El-P, etc. but please, homies, let's not forget Aesop Rock!)
and it would be a crime not to mention Kool Keith!
if you wanna get into more good stuff along these lines, i highly recommend going to the following site:
hiphopinfinity.com
and checking out their reviews section.

btw, Eyedea releases stuff through Rhymesayers Entertainment, which is run by Slug of Atmosphere.
good compilations to get a hold of if you don't have them already:
Anticon Presents: Music For The Advancement of Hiphop (tracks by all the indie hip-hop heavyweights: Buck 65, Sixtoo, Eyedea, Slug, Sole, Alias, etc.)
Anticon: Gigasingle (same sort of superb content as the one above)
both volumes of Def Jux presents.

mf doom is real good.
el-p's flow is an aquired taste. i go through stages where i can't get enough of fan dam. but, his production is tight as hell.
aceyalone is pretty good too... kinda wears thin pretty quick though.

fuck hiphopinfinity.com
everytime i order stuff there it comes cracked and broken, takes too long and their prices are higher then others.
the bestest place is ugsmag.com . I always get stuff within 2 days, never cracked and they always add nice stickers...

yeah i agree with all you guys, any hip hop (or "rap") is great as long as it's done by a white people.
