Since Killa forgot, here are some chunes to follow up his "Keepin' the Faith" post.
De La Soul's Keepin' The Faith from their 1991 sophomore album De La Soul is Dead One of my favourite albums of all time and one of the original "Fuck you if you think I have to rap about gangster shit" albums.
Wu-Tang Clan's The Mystery of Chessboxin' from their 1993 Classic album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) One of the most overlooked songs from the album with the monster C.R.E.A.M., check out Tearz out from that album too, great sampling and the type of originality and creativity combined with risk taking style that doesn't come around every day.
Among the many modern rappers who doesn't receive the praise he deserves, Consequence is a one of those artists with the smooth style that is rare nowadays. He teams up with Kanye West (as he almost always does) to give A Tribe Called Quest a run for their money by rapping over their jam, Electric Relaxation, from their 1993 masterpiece Midnight Marauders
The aforementioned W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. where D.C. MC Wale spits fire over Justice's D.A.N.C.E. from their 2007 debut Cross. Wale is one of the shining lights for the hope and resurgence of Hip-Hop in 2010, a leader of the 2009 Freshman class who has made some huge strides in his mainstream success while retaining all the underground cred he started with.
