I also forgot about Styles of Beyond who I worship, and Sole & Alias of Anticon. AdeeM also, excellent. Beans is ok I just wish APC would get back together. Common has fallen off big time though.
Oh my god, how did I forget about Styles of Beyond. They are REALLY good. :shame:

I haven't heard Common's new album just yet - is it seriously worse? His previous two (esp. Like Water for Chocolate) were really good, and I like his bit on Black Star's Respiration - the most amazing rap performance I've seen live, because Common came out of nowhere and Mos Def ran through the crowd and I touched his hand and was like holy crap. :o
