I know there aren't a lot of Rap/Hip Hop artists that are really praised here, but I think this is one you'll want to know about. Maybe you've already heard of him, maybe not, but Aesop Rock's new album is available for listening on his myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/aesoprockwins I think he could easily become one of those hip hop artists like Lupe Fiasco that actually have a fan base on this site. What do you guess think about his new album?
I love Aesop Rock! I downloaded None Shall Pass the other day at rapbasement and I love it. I never realized he was signed to Def Jux with El-P and Cage though. It's definitely a solid album with some sweet lyrics and great beats.
