MC Solaar. He's French. His shit is ill. Good story rhymes and stuff, but I guess you have to speak French to understand. They have a completely different scene in France. Totally not thug rap or anything.

good topic, i don't have time to post so much now, but i'll update my recommendations tomorrow.

MC Solaar is the shit btw, but only his older records. i consider IAM's L'École du Micro d'Argent to best the best record ever with Endtrocucing so i cannot possible recommend it more. their newer records have been a little weak though (they even fucking did a colabo with Behonce...). other french artists that should be mentionned

Supreme NTN, a shame they stopped doing records together.

Fonky Family, really dope shit.

the whole IAM familiy is dope.

Dj CutKiller compilation are real nice

Saian Supa crew

2 Bal 2 Neg

and of Course, TTC. but i guess most of you already know them.

i'll be back tomorrow for more

saian supa crew is great.

on the topic of french hip hop, shurik'n is also good, lunatik also deserves a listening

i just got amazingly tired of french hip hop about 6 years ago, so im biased, but before that i listened a lot of it.

This is some great stuff. I know it's mainstream, but I've been into Booba lately, he's a guilty pleasure of some sort.

I know a bit about German hip hop, no really underground shit though.

1. The current scene sucks

2. The scene was amazing about 10 years ago.

Probably my favorite German hip hop is Freundeskreis. Very jazz&raggae influenced, amazing shit. "Wenn der Vorhang Faellt" is a good place to start. Some of their members are doing solo stuff now, Max Herre is my favorite.

Freundeskreis - Wenn der Vorhang Faellt (Probably one of my favorite German hip hop tracks ever. never mind the first 1:10, couldnt find a better link)

Freundeskreis - A.N.N.A.

Freundeskreis - Tabula Rase II (German, English and French)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ4ScdNBe28

Another absolutely amazing artist is Afrob. He is above average lyrically, but what really sets him apart is his amazing ear for beats and his swagger.

Afrob ft. Ferris MC - Reimemonster (sorry for the low quality, try to find a hq version of this, it deservers to be heard)

A recent favorite of mine is MAdoppelT, one of the few decent hip hop related things to come out of Austria. His website is here:

http://www.madoppelt.com/MAdoppelT-Plan-Leben.htm

And a few of his songs are on Youtube.

Unplugged performance:

There are also a few links to downloads on his website.

Another one of my favorites is Sido. While he's quite popular, he has some hilarious lyrics and a cool voice as well as the occasional ridiculous beat. I also like that most of his videos show some of the poor districts of Berlin. Having been there, that's what it actually looks like, minus the guy in a mask rapping of course.

Sido - Steig Ein (unfortunately I can't find the whole track on youtube, the song that begins after the first verse sucks. It's amazing till then though, love the beat)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adjBb501Yq0

Sido - Strassenjunge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C4aAt2wKDw

He also works with many people from other genres. Here is an example of an cool track he did with DJ Tomcraft.

Sido, Tai Jason, Tomcraft - Sureshot

While most German mainstream rappers right now are awful (or at least extremely inconsistent), there are some amazing producers.

Chakuza ft. Bushido - Euro Kinder (beat samples Rhythm of a Dancer, actually pretty good lyrics)

from Japan- Ryhmester, Rip Slyme, M-Flo, Dragon Ash (they're pretty old but), Teriyaki Boyz

those are pretty good

rip slyme, they have more of mixture-type (rock sounding ala limp bisquit sometimes...i don't know) sound, don't they? i went to school with illmari (or keisuke, don't tell nobody). he's actually have swedish or dannish, but doesn't suck cock or speak swede-dane talk like superstar though...

not a fan of m-flo, but m-flo has a great remix album. the one that ufo and konishi yasuharu have remixes on.

i wouldn't consider dragon ash hip hop...

from mexico: Cartel De Santa, i seriously think this is the best rapper currently out there (at least that in know of), if you speak spanish listen to Cheka Wey and listen to the verse at 2:10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHOEUNw1-2M

also by cartel de santa:

Don de Dios

El Arte Del Engaño

El Dolor del Micro

Asesino de Asesinos

La Pelotona, Marihuana

Conexion Mexico PuertoRico (ft Tego Calderon)

also oldschool Vico C, imo he is one of the realest rappers out there. Vico C:

La Recta Final

Emboscada

Dandote Vida

Desahogo

Tony Presidio (great story song)

Other mexican underground rap groups to check out are OMW and 362 Rappaz.

Also Censurarme por ser rapero by Eddie Dee is a good song

your best bet is probly giant panda. they are from LA but they have a japanese MC who either raps in japanese or in broken elgish which is the ebst shit ever. they are on thes one's label form people under the stairs and their record fly school reunion is stellar.

shuruk'n (spelling) is also really good french hip hop form the mid 90s with a good wu tang feel to them. i have a couple francophone record i got in quebec, but they dont compare.

trust me, giant panda. theres also english on every track so its not so hard to get into.

Swedish hip hop is actually pretty good.

I have a feeling a lot of people already know about thise here, but-

Snook

Well dressed swede and a white african dude rapping in swedish. Funny how superfuturian they look.

Fav videos

(also, it's a shitty song, but they look exactly like mike lowery in Kommer Ifrån, youtube that shit)

Timbuktu

Japan

Zeebra is pretty good

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJfT_Du96Og

Ozrozaurus is good

Tokyo Nitro Underground was good, but haven't listened in a few years.

Soul Scream is good

Fuck it, bedtime.
