B.o.B.
The Beastie Boys
Big Boi
Blu & Exile, "Below the Heavens" (highest recommendation; check out "My World Is..." for a sample)
Childish Gambino
Eminem
Ghostface Killah
GZA
Inspectah Deck
Jay-Z
k'naan
Kid Cudi
KRS-One and Buckshot
Lil Wayne
Ludacris
Lupe Fiasco
M.I.A.
Mos Def
Nas & Damien Marley
Pharoahe Monch, "W.A.R." (awesome)
Raekwon
Random Axe
Rick Ross
The Roots (killing shit recently)
Shabazz Palaces
Zion I (meh)
so like, not totally devoid of new names, but there's a lot of 90's retread there. I'm not sure how much of that is hip hop, and how much of that is me being old and not digging.
