Madvillian, Madvilliany -- this totally lives up to the hype.

I love the new Roots single.
Also, I was at the okayplayer tour in Philly in December of 03. Got to see the Roots, Jean Grae, Aseop Rock, Skillz, Little Brother, Mr. Lif & others. J-Live was there, but he was sick & by the end of his first song, he could barely speak above a whisper. Still, awesome show. And the okayplayer tour is going around again this month (May 2004). The main people are the Roots, Skillz, Jean Grae & Martin Luther, with guests in certain cities (http://www.okayplayer.com/events/okayplayertour/). Also, there's an okayplayer CD coming out on 5/18 (http://records.okayplayer.com/) with some people who had been already mentioned in this thread.
And "Original Pirate Material" is still one of my favorite CDs. New CD from The Streets on 5/10.

Some of the best rappers are moving quickly to the mainstream ears. I'm talking about Talib Kweli and Common Sense. These 2 have been at it for a few years and are really good. They are about to blow up(hopefully they do not sell out, even though if you listen to them they can't stop rapping about how they never would). These 2 are getting popular firstly from Kanye West, one of the best new producers out now. Kanye has featured them o nhis album and has worked with Kweli on his last and current album, and is working on Common's new one too. Another factor of them getting known is through Dave Chappelle. Kweli has been the musical guest a few times now, and Chappelle is always on his records. But he had Common on too in the 2nd season, giving him more exposure. Maybe we can get some mainstream artists with powerful lyrics too.

Murs, Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition
released by def jux this year and produced by 9th wonder, best known for "threat" on jay z's black album and little brother (whose 2003 album, the listening, is also v. good). He tosses off lines like, "i'm more coldplay than i am ice-t," (so how can you not love him?) and then raps about shooting some guy in the face. talk about breadth!

Murs album is great, he raps about everything. Great story teller. If you like that you should pick up Felt W/ Slug and Murs.
I just ahold of the Brother Ali: Champion EP. It is fantastic: GET THAT!
