Hip Hop suggestions

well i'm a devoted fan of some of the more underground hip hop artists (not discriminating against mainstream it's just personal preference) so I was hoping some of you had some specific suggestions.

I'm a huge fan of the following artists:
Aesop Rock
Buck 65
Sage Francis
Atmosphere
Mystik Journeymen
Murs
Dilated Peoples
Zion I

so if anyone knows of any similar artists or even specific songs by any of those artists please post :)

I was just turned on to blackalicious, and it rarely leaves my CD player.

Ask miss.myra for hip hop suggestions, she knows whats up.

Ahh shit, net cred just increased exponentially! :p

I used to be more into the 'underground' stuff, I'm not so much anymore. I see you didn't have Josh Martinez on your list, I'm sure you'd like him lots.

I'll list some suggestions, if you'll let me, I'll make you a mix cd, I seriously love doing that for people. I think it's important if you're really infatuated with a genre of music to appreciate the classics:

A tribe called quest (probably my favorite hip hop group, midnight maurauders is a good album to get ahold of)

Wu Tang Clan-Enter the Wu/36 Chambers is a MUST own

Dead Prez -Let's get free

The Roots- Illadelph Halflife

Krs One- I got next

De La Soul- 3 feet high and rising

Beastie Boys- Paul's Botique

The Fugees- The Score

Souls of Mischief- 93 till infinity

Gangstarr- The Ownerz

Westside Connection- Bow Down

(I'm probably missing a lot of classics, but it's a start)

Some artists:

Mc Solaar, Company Flow, J5, Blackalicious, the lost boyz, the jugganauts, early notorious B.I.G and jayz, pharcyde, Loveage (dan the automator, kid koala, some chick and paul barman)

How could I have forgotten living legends, i'm a hugggee Grouch fan I have two of his albums. "Silly Puddy" and "Wish you a good day" are two of my favorite tracks by far!

Thanks for all the suggestions, Myra I really appreciate the song listings i'm going to download them as soon as I get home (currently at my dads).

ink operated - it's super tight local hiphop, their stuff is pretty abstract so if you like Josh Martinez im sure you can get into these guys

deep puddle dynamics - again these guys are pretty absract as well. this is pretty much as experimental as hiphop can get. they are basically a collective of mc's from all over the u.s., slug from atmospere is in this group as well as dose one and a couple other guys from anitcon.

the streets - i know csquared already suggested these guys, but if you get a chance you should take a listen to their new cd 'a grand dont come for free'. alot of the tracks are pure shit but there are a couple of good songs that make the cd worth listening to. check out 'blinded by the lights'.

roots manuva - another dope UK hiphop act. check out 'brand new second hand'. this cd didnt leave my discman for about a month straight.

company flow - super influential (to me at least) nyc underground hiphop group. these guys are basically the epitome of what hiphop can and should be. they have a back to basics, b-boy approach their stuff. listen to '8 steps to perfection' 'weight' and 'vital nerve'.
