I like to listen to mellow hip hop when i'm enjoying myself.
Artists like: The Roots, Common, J5, Lupe Fiasco, etc.

Can anyone suggest some good underground hip hop artists who are similar to those artists? Also, I love listenin to Jack Johnson too.

You guys have mentioned some good stuff. My fav's are Danger Doom, MF Doom, Handsome Boy Modeling School (if you haven't heard them you MUST check it out), Common, Kanye, Consequence, Talib Kweli, Atmosphere, POS, Rhymefest, BlackStar.

That's all I can think of right now..

I'm white too, so I know what you mean. Common is totally like that too always talking about reparations and other stuff I can't relate too, but it's still sweet music.

You should check out Hieroglyphics, Deltron 3030, Opio... the GZA is pretty intense, but chill about it cuz he's smart and plays chess. Definitely midnight marauders (tribe called quest).

sorry to do this, but I just have to say that camron and juelz santana are not chill at all- it's just pop rap with some superficial gangsta trappings.

Canibus - His voice is raspy and annoying, but over mellow beats if you read this you probably think he sounds like shit, so did I but then I listened and found out its a good balance plus the shit he says will crack U up

aesop rock is def good. MF Doom has got the craziest rhymes and its real chill music. Mad Lib and Quasimoto has real chill music too, madlib samples a lot of unique music and also uses a lot of jazz to make his beats and quasimoto always raps about being chill, smoking weed, and his voice is real trippy.
