I've been getting into rap and hip-hop quite a bit since I listened to The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest (which is one of my favourite albums now, talking maybe in the top 20?), so any recommendations on stuff by De La and all that (jazz-rap or whatever) would be cool

edit: ohh I don't mind lil wayne really. That song he does with that fat joe guy is quite good

Completely agree, also Midnight Marauders.

Anything by Beastie Boys, anyone who says they're not really hip-hop can shove it

I've been enjoying LET too much, listening to it pretty much every second day since I found it two or so months ago. Haven't given MM a go, though something tells me I'm going to enjoy it moreso than LET.

Beastie Boys I'm not familiar with at all, but they made some of my favourite songs on the Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack, under the name "The Latch Bros."

Licensed to Ill, Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head are all incredibly albums by Beastie Boys, can't recommend them enough.

And also, they're white!

I need to get some beastie boys ...
