Somebody recommend me some more Brother Ali, Blueprint, Cannibal Ox, Pharoahe Monch, Eyedea, and whatever else you want to offer. I heard:
Room with a view, forest whitiker, champion
Stress rap
Truth
Color my world mine
You've come to the right place. Try these: Blackalicious, The Roots, Common, Cyne, Cunninlyguists, Supastition, J-Live, Binary Star, Blackstar, Park-like Setting, Josh Martinez, Buck 65, Aesop Rock, Edan, Mr Lif, Akrobatik, Aceyalone, Lyrics Born, Illogic, MF Doom, Five Deez, Playdough, Qwel, Vakill and Brand Nubian. That should keep you busy for a while. The other guys will have loads more suggestions.
Oh and welcome, nice to have you here. 😄
Uuum, yeah, considering Phat J recomended me at least 10 artists, -hh- another 10, I don't think I will be buying all of them.
Besides, noone can guarantee I will like any of those, there is no point in buying an album - just a random one, without actually knowing what is it about or having any idea what it sounds like.
Phat J is gonna msn-me some songs...i need recomendations people - my best friends boyfriend has a large hip-hop collection, if i can ask him for songs, he can get them to me - if i ask him - ''can i have something by Illogic'' he'll be like ''sure, what?'' and im like ''uuum...anything?''

Of course there is.
Anyway, my point: If you check out a couple of songs and discover that you like the artist, are you going to be purchasing the music?

Easiest to get into would be Blackalicious, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Blackstar, J-Live, Common, Cyne, Cunninlyguists, Binary Star, Jurassic 5, De La Soul and Brother Ali.
Of the artists i listed above i'd recommend:
Blackalicious - First in flight, If i may, Shallow days, Make you feel that way, Brainwashers, Purest love, 4000 miles, and Sleep.
A Tribe called Quest - The whole midnight marauders album.
The Roots - Respond React, Proceed, Mellow my man, I remain calm, Do you want more, Swept away, Section, It just dont stop, What they do, Universe at war The seed.2 and Concerto of the desperado.
Blackstar - Their whole self titled album, especially Respiration and Thieves in the night.
J-Live - Satisfied, Nights like this, Like this Anna, How real it is, Wax paper, Braggin writes, Brooklyn Public pt2, The sidewalks and Them thats not.
Common, I used to love H.E.R., G.O.D., This is me, Resurrection, Rich man vs poor man, The bizness (feat De La Soul), Book of life, The Remedy (feat Tribe called quest) and 1999 (feat Sadat X).
Cyne - Steady, Arrow of god, Out of time and Haze.
Cunninlyguists - Lyguistics, Mic like a memory, Missing children, Family ties, Mindstate, Nothing to give, Beautiful girl, Brain cell, Caved in, Hourglass, Never know why, The gates and What'll you do.
Binary Star - Reality check, Slang blade, Fellowship, Evolution of man, Honest expression and I know why a caged bird sings.
Jurassic 5 - Influence, Quality control, Jurass finish first, W.O.E. is me, Contribution, Improvise, A day at the races, Freedom, Break and Hey.
De La Soul - Anything off the albums AOI, Stakes is high and De La Soul is dead. You have to hear the track "Held down" though.
Brother Ali - Forrest Whitiker, Room with a view, Dorian, Three day journey, Self taught, Prince charming, Win some lose some and Picket fence.
That should be enough for starters. 😆
