Need new music. can you guys recommend some stuff along the lines of Blackalicious, lil brother, one be lo,hiero, murs, Gangstarr, Crown city rockers, az, nas?
Because you like:

Little Brother - if you like their production try out Buckshot & 9th Wonder's album "Chemistry"

Gangstarr - try Group Home, Jeru The Damaja, Big Shug, & Freddie Foxxx (his album "Industry Shakedown" is a must own), M.O.P.

Nas - try Bravehearts

Might also want to check:
Nature Sounds Presents... "Natural Selection"
Think Differently Music: "Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture"
GZA and DJ Muggs - "GZA vs. Muggs : Grandmasters"
J-Live - All of the Above
Mathmatics - The Problem
Chief Kamachi & the JuJu Mob - Black Candles
Black Market Militia - Black Market Militia

Check out

Dilated Peoples - The Platform (all their albums are good though)

People Under the Stairs - I'd get Questions in the Form of an Answer, but they're all good

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes, and Life; Midnight Marauders

If you like AZ try some Cormega maybe? If you dont have Aziatic or AWOL go buy those ASAP.

Maybe even try some RA The Rugged Man...not EXACTLY hip hop, but neither is AZ really..

Any Talib Kweli - I like the Beautiful Struggle a LOT

If ya like Murs and Little Brother try gettin a Just Us League mixtape.

Rakim - The 18th Letter

Naughty by Nature - Greatest Hits

Souls of Mischeif - 93 till Infinity

We can't all be perfect. I also like Cyndi Lauper and Wham.

But I figure if I have a good ear for music and I liked the album, MAYBE someone else would too. But no matter how you cut it - Around My Way with John Legend is a good song...and for some reason I like "Never Been in Love Before".

Smh...with SiccFucc, ColdBlooded and Stealth answering I figured I would read Masta Ace in there somewhere...but nope. I'm disapointed guys lol.

Nah, but for real here are my reccomendations (sorry if any are re-posts)

Masta Ace - Disposable Arts and A Long Hot Summer (can't go wrong with any of his stuff though)

Black Moon - Enta Da Stage (released in 1993 but is a classic from front to back, one of my favorite albums ever)

Sean Price - Monkey Barz ( a great album from front to back, one of the best east coast albums in a minute IMO)

Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises in the East ( Classic album with DJ Premier handling the production)

Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous and The Big Picture ( Both classics)

Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda ( One of the most under-rated hip hop albums ever IMO, Classic)

Keith Murray - The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World (Eric Sermon produced 90% of the album)

Lost Boyz - Legal Drug Money (Classic album, download the Renee remix too)

Canibus - Rip The Jacker ( Sick album produced by Stoupe of JMT)
