I will have to check out Danny Brown. Earl Sweatshirt is talented as all hell, though. I've been listening to a lot of Dilated Peoples, People Under the Stairs, Brother Ali and Aesop Rock. There is also something strangely alluring about A$ap Rocky and co's work.
You got anything else?

If you never heard the new El-P & Killer Mike definitely check that out too. And I've been obsessing over Death Grips for over a year (though they're more a punk/rap hybrid). Despot is also great too.

Always glad to see another "entire genres that only need one thread" thread, though it's regrettable that this one wasn't named as such.
The Roots do have their own thread, but it didn't really hit its stride until they joined forces with a rock musician. Telling.

"Anyway, I was thinking about rap music in general and I feel bad
I mean, where you gonna go after the Beverly Hillbillies?
Rap hit it's peak in the 60s"

I need to hear more Killer Mike. The "R.A.P Music" single is the best.

Race baiter....I think the reason why it has only one thread is because most of it sounds the same...there are only so many ways you can rap about guns, b1tches and drug dealing....
