i'm trying to expand my musical taste. i'm mostly into rock/metal/hardcore, but i've been listening to alot of run DMC, Public Enemy, NWA, Wu Tang clan, etc. can anyone recomend me some rap/hip hop that isn't about blunts, bitches, and bigscreen TVs? that actually has a message other than, like, "get crunk"? thanks!

It depends on what you want to hear, but here's a few suggestions... Ice Cube- Amerikkkaz Most Wanted Ice Cube- Death Certificate Public Enemy- It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Public Enemy- Fear of a Black Planet Xzibit- At the Speed of Life Nas- Illmatic Jay-Z- Resonable Doubt The Notorious BIG- Ready to Die Outkast- Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik Outkast- ATLiens The Roots- Illadelph Halflife Common- Ressurection Mos Def- Black on Both Sides The Roots- Things Fall Apart Eminem- The Slim Shady LP Common- Like Water for Chocolate Lupe Fiasco- Food And Liquor The list gets soooo much longer, but there's just not enough time in a day. |

Black Star, (Talib Kweli and Mos Def are) Black Star
The early early early pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas are good, too. And K-Os. Check him out too. |

K-Os is the perfect transition from other genres into hiphop because he's a well-rounded versatile artist (not just emcee) who is cognizant of the world around him, political but not preachy, religious but not self-righteous, and a Bboy.
Exit is more hiphop oriented while Joyful Rebellion sticks to reggae and blues roots. |
