Underground HipHop
...I'm posting this here because I know I wont get many responses on O/T...
So I got limewire (a file sharing program) a few weeks ago, and have stumbled upon an assload of unsigned/independant hip hop artists I'd never heard of, incl.:
Classified
Sage Francis
Louis Logic
Eyedea
Josh Martinez
DL incognito
Skitzofreniks
The Chicharones...
I got turned on to this genre by my buddy in Portland who plays guitar on a few tracks by another unsigned group, called Sandpeople.
samples: www.sandpeoplemusic.com (enter, then click on the 'audio' tab on the left)
Anyway, I know there's lots more dope ish out there, and I want to find it.
So anybody got any more names to reccommend?

I don't really care if they're signed or not- as long as they don't lose control over their sound when they do get signed, which unfortunately, doesn't happen often.
I think my fav. so far is classified or josh martinez...
And thx for the link JohnQ- but that stuff seems a bit 'rappish' for me... I'll check out some names though

be sure to check out that sandpeople link- there are 2 min samples of every song...
... and their new CD will be out within a month or so.

It may look that way but search the site and you will find TONS of true underground stuff.
This is actually a record store in S.F. but I think the store is now called So Far West.
If you like abstract rap you should look into the ShapeShifters.
