I hate it when people mix up hip hop with rap .
Like Ja rule aint no hip hop artist and neither is eminem.

I guess thats how asians feel when we call them chinese,when theres many differant races in asia.And that how I feel when brown people call me goda .

Definately agree that Ras Kass doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's a top rapper!! Rawkus Records have put out some of the best records of the last few years, they recently did some heavyweight VINYL re-presses and I was lucky enough to pick them up. All good tunes and the sound quality, or should that be Kwelity, is amazing. The bass is booming!!

Dead Prez, Edan, Anti-Pop Consortium, The Roots - all are brilliant in my opinion.

Also, I was watching a documentary I have on video when I got in from work earlier and on it AFRIKA BAMBAATAA says, and I'm paraphrasing here, that "Hip-Hop is the collective name for the scene which consists of Breaking, Graffiti, Deejaying, Clothes and RAPPING". I can't really say it any better than that. How can you be into Rap and not be into Deejaying?? That's 2 down, only 3 to go and then we've got you!!

I love RAP and I love HIP-HOP. To me they are not mutually exclusive.

Keep on Keepin' on.

High and mighty ,and A+ hip hop greats

For hardcore rap with a bit of humor are the gravediggaz. They don't get too much airplay to say the least.

Also, for the underground goodies, I would like to add Blueprint to the mix.
