Here's the rapidshare link for Raven in my Eyes(I don't even have this cd, so idk what's on it)

and the megaupload link for the Khanthology(like the best of) but I think you need an account.

The Khanthology is really worth listening to, but it's missing some stuff.

Come on man, some of the easy ones were left out here. J5, Mr. Lif, Aesop Rock.

Oh, and dude who says commercial hiphop is good...i...i just don't know what to say. open your eyes. use your ears. the shit is all about cash, there's no more heart in it.


Ahem. allow me to demonstrate: "This is why I'm hot. I'm hot 'cause I'm fly, you ain't 'cause you're not" Here is what he said, "I'm hot, because I am, and you aren't, because you aren't". Repeat that a few times, and you've got a hit track in commercial hip-hop.

Come on man, read the thread contents - It's alive, just not in the main-stream. The social commentary aspect of hip-hop still exists, and documents the rise of the 'pimps' and the bling lifestyle from the outside, from the PoV of those still doing it for the art - i'm talking about People Under the Stairs, Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, Ugly Duckling, these guys see those fucking gangstas just as we do - pretenders.
We can hope for a day when it will re-emerge from this dark age, but the problem seems to be that when it does it gets corrupted, everything's exaggerated and these guys come in to being who are just charicatures of hip-hop.
I say let it stay underground, it's best as a subculture where it makes it's own rules and doesn't give a shit what the media thinks. That way we can keep appreciating the real art form of hip-hop.

Doubt it mate, the good artists are good underground; don't really think it's gonna come into the mainstream headlights. hip-hop hasn't got the strength to come through the piles and piles of shit reputation accumulated after ages and ages of shit rap untainted and unchanged. the good underground shit will become at least somewhat affected by the money and the realization that, " 'this is fucking easy...' and then just crash after a year in the spotlight" that kind of deal that strikes. it's like...hip-hop can't make that comeback and be like it once was...it was (and still is) just too awesome...
