if youre looking for more creative and innovative hip hop you should
check out mystik journeymen, blackalicious, living legends, grouch, murs,
planet asia, and bizarro.  there was another guy out of new york that is
doing really abstract and minimal sounding hip hop.  i think his name is
semantics or something like that...  i cant remember but its like overly
distorted bass, a snare drum and his mc-ing.
