I was hooked onto Lupe's album for quite a while and then Trixx recommended this underground rap band called "Cunninlynguistics", they are pretty good too.
I've been listening to a lot of Ice Cube's old stuff over the past week.
Badass group. Definitely check out Cunninlynguists' DIrty Acres anmd A Piece Of Strange albums.
Also, there's a swedish group called Looptroop Rockers (its hip hop through,. not rock). THeyre really nice too.
THey just dropped an album like 2 days ago called Good Things. I havent been able to buy it yet, which is kinda driving me crazy. lol. Its crazy good from what i've heard.
Here's a little vid of em doing their thing on the street. Nothing but raw lyrics and two drum sticks. The first song is from their new single "The Building".
