I'll reply to this...
rap is dead.
leave it alone and only relive it from 1996 and before.

buckshot dropped some dope stuff with 9th wonder and there is supposed to be a follow up.
for da boot camp fans.
mainstream is for the mainstream. not for the connoseurs.
mainstream rap has no shelf life so don't expect to hear any half decent music for longer than 1 month or so.
its all quantity over quality.
not for nothing 50 still spit crazy on the mixtape tip but you gotta check for him.

I have also had a return to the hip hop scene, and was prompted by the passing of Jay Dee to go in search of some new material.
Last.fm was very helpful, and I managed to come across some of the same artists as Rae5000. My list is:
Grand Agent
Cannibal Ox (Produced by El-P, real frickin dirty NY MC sounds - check the track ridiculoid, it's a killer)
Jaylib/Madlib/Quasimoto (same guy, except he was jaylib when working with Jay Dee)
Little Brother
Oh No
The Platinum Pied Pipers
