🙂 good stuff...
now rap is all thuggish instead of urban. It is sad.
It bolsters the false sense to the poor that being poor allows them the liberty to do cruel, bad things.

**EDIT**
Roots is pretty good. And some of the Underground DJs.

the roots drummer (yeah, you heard me rap haters... drummer 😀) ?uestlove is actually a really good club dj. the dude has an amazing record collection and plays a lot of the odd and obscure that gets people moving at clubs.

green lantern quit a few months ago. green lantern asked when jada was going to finish off 50 and it was recorded for a documentary, and since green was the d.j. for shady records, he decided to quit rather than create an incident. em replaced him with alchemist.

exactly. and thats why i like his music, because i hate rap that talks about that crap. killing my damn eardrums with that 'flash this/flash that' crap. hell, since someone mentioned dj shadow earlier, im going to listen to some lyrics born and gift of gab now.
 
DJ Babu w/ Dilated Peoples is a great DJ, also part of the Beat Junkies crew. DJ Abilities w/ Eyedea is also a good DJ.
 
since this thread is at the top and im more adding comments than adding to the list... ill throw out there dj premier of gang starr.
