Answer 7

M.I.A. is very creative, but I think her lyrical skills are a little lacking. Try this new guy Blu. If you like Common and Lupe you will dig him. He's from the West coast and his album last year (with his producer Exile) blew my mind. The people who say hip hop is dead are ignoramuses.

Answer 8

you got good taste girl ! try sLum village. my favorites from them are Can i be me & Fall in Love. Try Little brother also..Some songs from them are Home, which is mostly a beat but a good beat to chill to, Speed.. & Life of the party.

Anythin produced by Nujabes (most of his stuff is instrumentals though, but they still good)

theres also a very vibrant hip hop scene in Europe and Japan. Nujabes and K Dub Shine are japanese (nujabes makes english tracks, K Dub doesnt), MC Solaar and Tunisiano are french, Kano and Sway is English, and Nicolay is Dutch. But its still good, and they all make tracks in English so its all good.
