I really like this a lot more than mainstream rap/hip-hop. I really dig this, do you have any links to additional music?

Aesop Rock is definitly good, very good flow for a white boy. Have you ever listened to Del The Funkee Homosapien(AKA Deltron) he the guy who did the gorilla's rapping parts, i think hes ice cube's cousin or something also

I was just going to say Del. He's the best indie MC hands down. 3030 is brilliant. Hes got a new one coming in 2008. Hope to see him on the bill at the next coachella. Aesop is also great. Sage Francis was really good, but ever since he got signed to Epitaph and got a budget his shit started sounding like lincoln park b sides. Great writer, crap beats. Any of you guys like K-OS?

i haven't listened to much k-os. i saw him live once with gym class heroes a couple years ago and he put on a good show. i have one of his albums and its good but i need to listen to more of his stuff.

also, not indie, but RIP Pimp C. UGK has been one of my favorite groups for a while now. :/
