Hi guys, just setting up some playlists to listen to in the next few summery months whilst cruising in the car or relaxing in the garden with a beer.

Needs to have nice chilled rolling beats, you get the idea.

Looking for things along the lines of these:

Souls of Mischief - 93 til' infinity

Blackalicious - Make you feel that way

Kanye West - Out of your mind

Common - Go

I don't even need to add to this list. Nice work.
 
Circle Research
Abdominal

(+ Carzy's list, though I agree with omitting El-P - not really chilled out!)

If you just want good HipHop, Immortal Technique and AKIR

See, I was going to list Abdominal, but then I thought his solo album was awful...he did his best stuff with Format... And I can't listen to Immortal Technique because of how much their racist crap annoys me. (Same with Jedi Mind Tricks)
 
I love Abs' solo album - granted it's nowhere near as good as his collabs with Format but still worth checking out if that's your cup of tea. I only listened to Technique's Rev2 album and I didn't really notice any racism - only accusations of racism aimed at him.

I can't stand JMT because Vinnie is the most ridiculously awful rapper ever. A mate recommended me OuterSpace and that heavily features VP. "Vinnie Paz, Jedi Mind, baby" ugh.
