Why? and cLOUDDEAD come to mind.

Yep, why? is great.

Why? is great, clOUDDEAD is great, Edan is great, Cannibal Ox is great, Aesop Rock is mostly great, El-P's album is great, Common is great, etc

A-trak, Blackstar and/or Mos Def.

Another vote for Common's latest.

Also, MF Doom is indie hip hop, imo.

Immortal Technique? eh? eh? maybe not...

oh yeah, Kool Keith and MF Doom have made great albums.

Yup. Danger Doom, Madvillain, Common all good too. Beasties, of course.

got a song from the clipse not sure if it is indy ..

fuck off

you have serious problemos diponion

Jurassic 5, Mos Def, OutKast.

where did the roots go?

Ah, there, now - do you see what you did? You used the words "good" and "hip-hop" in the same sentence. That's what they call an oxymoron....

okay, how about NEW stuff... everyone is aware of j5, outkast etc..

I'll drop Soso and Brad Hamers to the new list.

New Meat Loaf can eat my balls.

meat balls? mmmm......

gavan 's playing a snoop dogg track now.....i despise him but i have to admit it's pretty finky.

"new" stuff.

come on mang.

A-Trak is new.

give me more info about this A-Trak.

ew, i ain't into that ceschi sample at all!

oddly i gotta agree with mr flower photo upthread on this one...
plastic little is the most interesting "indie hip hop" i've heard lately

malvolent too you bitch

ooh - haven't heard Cage in a long time.

umm ROSETTA STONED!!!!!

^ that cage album is all about his time in a mental institution.

That Cage album is pretty rad. Great dark overtones all through the album.

Wow - listening to some early Dudley Perkins. Before he fell off a bit, Dudley was the shit. What a voice.

here's a dope Stones Throw mix with some vintage Dudley and a rare Lootpack radio spot freestyle on board.

Here's some Hindi hip hop. I wouldn't quite call it good though.

I've been checking these king of the dot battles ever since I went there in 2007. Not amazing but a crazy little scene they have going on if you like watching pumped up hip-hop/rap nerds abusing each other..

single battle
mash-up

hey knomadix - you frequent Stealth boards as well yeah?

nope.. haven't been on stealth

Used to LOVE the battles at the Hydey in perth in the day.
gets a bit old when you can't move past physical abuse though.. if you're gonna slay someone you have to use some brains.

anyone heard the new young jazz rebels by madlib? not sure if that counts as hip-hop but great rolling spiritual free jazz vibes all over it.
also, what do people think of that oz mc ivens? i've not heard his stuff but i hear it's kinda on the same wavelength as dalek and noticed he's doing stuff with that noise outfit occult blood etc etc. any more info would help!

GDP - magic bullet cassette

Immortal Technique

'Indie Hip Hop' that term makes me sick.

Might as well say I want em black, just not too black

Sensor your niggas so they all come across as 'uncle toms' like Will Smith.

Gheto Boys for life

''and underground labels know that I don't trust you
your only independent till your major, so fuck you''

hey it's ok I have preconceptions too, it's short for independent, not anticon inland poetry college.

for me - apart from wussy dudes with guitars strapped too high

Indie will always mean Independent

not some type of marketing speak for ''alternative shite''

Dark Time Sunshine - Vessel (2010)
