Digable Planets?

A Tribe Called Quest for some very chill and smooth hiphop. Nice alternative to Gangsta Rap. Their lyrics are intelligent and they have a sophisticated style, which I like. Check out their albums The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders, both excellent albums (check AllMusicGuide). There's also De La Soul, which I find boring. I also love the Dr. Dre albums, The Chronic and The Chronic 2001, which are a bit more towards the gangsta rap side of hiphop.
