Since Kanticoy mentioned Doomtree and Sage in the Stoner Rock thread, I only thought it fair to start a separate thread. I'm a huge Stone's Throw fan-PB Wolf and Madlib fan, along with J Dilla, Black Milk, and MF Doom. Some examples:

Hell yes Kev. 'Bout time somebody started this up. I am a true blue hip-hop head. I hate radio music, but the real word poetry from the underground stirs my soul. Love everything you posted. Here's a few more that I like.

Prolyphic and Reanimator, Sleep, Sadistik, Prefuse 73 (instrumental stuff), RJD2 (also instrumental), Four Tet, Collective Efforts, Man I can go on and on:

Mac Miller. Straight outta' Pittsburgh. Our own JFish throws the beats dowm on the this one...

 

[MrBerner]

I listened to Mac Miller a while back on here. Gotta say I really dig it! REALLY dig it! Minneapolis is bursting at the seems with down and dirty hip hop. I love Doomtree! If you like them, check out P.O.S. He's in it and his solo stuff is really awesome! Also, Atmosphere is also local here. There is way more I just can't think of it all right now.

P.O.S. Optimist

Here's another group Blu and Exile. Not from the Mini-Apple but good none the less.

Nice to see some others on here with similar music taste. I am excited for the upcoming O.J. Simpson album as well the new flying lotus which should be fire. I have been into a lot more of the instrumental and dubstep stuff lately. If you like prefuse you may digg Nosaj Thing, Mount kimbie, mike slott, and fulgeance its all offbeat type instrumental stuff.

 

[Kanticoy]

P73 is one of my all time favorites. Thamks for the suggestions andoor! I will dig all of that stuff up.!!!

 

[Ringo]

Sage, Sleep, nice. Pigeon John...K'naan...Chicharones

Used to be really big into underground stuff, but I've kinda leveled off. Still got a soft spot for it though.

Doh-not sure why it won't display my links :-\ Dubstep and DnB would be a whole other thread. I was part of the Houston DnB/rave scene back in the 90's and had a dubstep/broken beat/bassline night here in Austin a few years back as an MC - love for Rusko, Caspa, 16bit, Datsik, Incision, Trolley Snatcha,etc. Best part of London trip was skanking out in Fabric to Pascal, Hype, and Dj SS!

Nice, glad to see this... I love real hip hop, never really got into it until I moved to Seattle. It was the blue scholars who did it for me. A DJ and an MC... both Seattle natives, one is a transplant from HI. Anyway they make great music, beautiful poetry, etc, etc.

Wow this warms my heart! Only in this information age can one come on a MOTORCYCLE forum and hear the likes of Prefuse 73 and did I see BLUE SCHOLARS!?! WHAT!?! The Hawaii fam! My guys Fortilive (google them) are like Michael Jackson out there!

Thanks a lot Mike for reposting the Mac stuff - Got a lot of new stuff coming along ill make sure to post over here.

I for one have listened to the most underground of the underground, and most obscure of the obscure hip hop - But these days I find myself drawn not to hip hop, but instead music that hip hop has influenced:

This is one of the craziest tracks Ive ever heard. From a Scottsman!!!! Word has it he made this when he was 15

And I simply can not stop listening to these dudes:
