Anybody who likes rap, or just creative music in general, please check out Madvillain- the collaboration between MF DOOM and Madlib. They have one cd out and are working on another, and they are really great artists.

By the way, don't just dismiss them because you "hate rap," because although rap blows nowadays, there are still plenty of creative non-mainstream rappers out there who are worth listening to. Like Mos Def, Immortal Technique, or The Roots.
