I watched Dave Chapelle's Block Party (great movie, by the way - so full of fun and heart) a few months ago, and was really intrigued by one of the rap acts in the concert. I can't remember what they were called, but they were rapping about social issues. I got the impression they were on the controversial side, but it was nice to hear something like that.

The Roots are intelligent and will make you
corianderstem said:Dead Prez! That was it. I don't remember what they were rapping about, but I remember thinking, "Well, that'll never get played on the radio."

I love OutKast! Musically challenging hip hop, who knew?inmyplace13 said:

Outkast is intelligent, good rap too.
