Well, while "diggin' in the crates" (a term meaning searching for good sounds stemming from DJ culture), I came upon great examples of the deepest level of hip hop. Indie and underground MCs and DJs doing thoughtful, thought-provoking, clever music with wordplay on the level of the most lauded poet.
Not to mention, the album art is often very cool. These are some gems, old and new, that I'm rocking at the moment:
De La Soul - Stakes is High (1996)
-classic track: 'Stakes is High'
Black Sheep - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (1992)
-classic tracks: 'The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)' & 'Similak Child'
Vast Aire – Dueces Wild (2008)
-hot track: 'T.V. Land'
