Isn't there more than one person??
I've only heard V2 Deep Water Slang, thought it was pretty good.
Best songs are The Drill and ... forget the other really good one. I'll post it when I can figure it out at home.

Zion I is two guys like Ganstarr is two guys lol. I mean it's Zion and DJ amp live, who produces.
Zion I is really awesome, I love all the songs featuring the Grouch except there CD together "Heroes in the city of Dope" isn't that good.
I have tons of Zion I on my computer and I must say his older stuff is ballin, but his newer stuff isn't as good.
But he's one of my favorite artists.

Primier is great but Guru kind of annoys me. Moment of Truth = awesome album.

By far, the best Zion I song is "Silly Puddy" with the Grouch. If you havent heard it, look it up. Its off the Mind of Matter cd.

gonna cross post this in sesame street thread:
I heard this song nearly 8+ years ago I think, some older cat I knew that was all into underground hip hop gave me a mix with this on it, I finally remembered to google it and this came up as like the 4th result.

Maybe we should change this to the non mainstream rap discussion thread?
MF Doom is sick, what's your favorite MF Doom alter ego?

Surprsingly a lot of guys who are into dipset and mainstream shit really like MF Doom.
MF Doom yeah is one guy, he produces his own stuff. He actually has two "alter egos", one being Vicktor Vaughn, in which through that character does a lot of story songs. Another being King Geedorah, who is pretty cool too.
Jedi Mind Tricks has some good stuff, but there new CD gets kinda old because the style gets kind of old.

soooooo agreed.
Do you like any gangstarr before moment of truth? I was listening to one of their older CD's and it seemed like kind of sell out ganster rap. It had a really rugged sound too, which can be cool.

yea, 'the ? remains" is one of my favorites, but i dont have any of their albums before that (unless you count the full clip best hits double album). theres probably 10 songs or so that i like before that album but alot i dont really like.

No soulseek's actually pretty clean from my experience. It just takes a shitload of time to download. Their focus is supposedly on underground type music, so you can find lots of rareish music unavailable through torrents.

deadley habitz is my favorite of all those, right now i have the ownerz on my playlist so that's why I have this song specifically up on my list (Although rite where u stand, miltia pt 3, and rite where u stand are all close seconds). I mean, all the tracks you named are great, but I think deadley habitz will have appeal to many.

Anyone hear of Blue Scholars or Common Market? Both of these guys are produced by Sob Z, who makes some ill beats. BS is so political in his rap though it gets annoying, but Common Market is pretty good.

i agree completely, gangstarr is def better than zion i. the rhymes style is elevated, the style of beats are elevated, but its still guru and premier, and theres always a message involved.
anyways, best Zion I track is critical from mind over matter
