Looking for some new hip-hop

[KeithTalent]

Trying to find some new stuff (stuff I have not heard before). I am kind of picky when it comes to rap/hip-hop, but here are some of my favourites:

Latryx
Saul Williams
Ugly Duckling
A Tribe Called Quest
Sage Francis
De La Soul
Aesop Rock
MF Doom/Danger Doom
Dr. Octagon

So anything along those lines I would probably like. I hate most of the stuff I hear on the radio, so I am calling on the collective AT brain trust to help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Shadow and RJD2 are a couple of my faves. The only non-english hip-hop I have ever listened to is DJ Krush...Korean, well worth a shot I guess.

Thanks to everyone so far. Keep 'em coming if you have them.

Aceyalone (Freestyle Fellowship): Good luck finding this in stores
Lost Boyz: You probably know who they are. If you haven't, the rappers you listen to know who they are very well
Too $hort (pre-Gettin' It): Should seem like the oddball of the group. His pre-Gettin' It stuff was underproduced and sounds more like some guy just trying to have fun than trying to make serious music...Oh wait a second, I guess that's what hip hop is all about
Hieroglyphics: Start w/3rd Eye Vision, move out from there :thumbsup:
