Yeah, Shorty is a better bet for hip-hop recommendations. Runlikehell too. I dabble but those two live that shit!
Ha, these were going to be two of mine, love J5. And I was going to say Handsome Boy Modeling School (Dan the Automator and Price Paul). Cloudead are crazy too, always reminds me a bit of cypress hill, maybe it's the vocal.
Also, Del Tha Funkee Homosapian, Fatlip, Raekwon, The Roots, De La Soul, The Pharcyde, etc.

runlikehell's got a great ear for the current/new/today's obscure hiphop. I tend to be quite judgemental when it comes to today's hiphop but there is good stuff out there.
To folk on the neogaf mobile with youtube embed, Warning: incoming music/youtube spam...
Here's my recommendations:-
They Reminisce Over You - Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Fat Cats and Bigga Fish - The Coup
Classic - Rakim, Nas, Kanye and KRS-One
Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos - Public Enemy
Brenda's Got a Baby - Tupac Shakur
Definition - Mos Def & Talib Kweli
I Gotcha - Lupe Fiasco
Family Business - Kanye West
That's not Goldie Lookin' Chain

Haha, I larfed, well played Soturi! I was transported to a gay club for a few moments there.
I was expecting some GLC though, not gonna lie.

I always knew you had great taste... But now you're off the chart. You can bang my sister.
The Roots are pretty fucking special, as are De La Soul (how could I forget them?).

Off topic, but I remember there was an English language learning book for Japanese that included this phrase.
fake edit: found it
Loved Deltron 3030 as recommended by Shorty, love a good bit of J5, that's basically all I know. I like Gorillaz, if that counts for anything? (I guess it at least confirms my love for Dan the Automator)
Generally it's the subject matter that usually turns me off of hip-hop. That or the extreme level frontin', which is what puts me off of a lot of metal and emo too, actually. They're all full of people singing/rapping about "oh look at how much I'm at the pinnacle of behaviour expected within my sub-culture!"
Edit: almost forgot to mention one of my favourite albums of all time - Fugees - The Score. Amazing.
There's some hip-hop influence at least on another of my favourite albums - Bran Van 3000 - Glee. Well worth a listen.

GLC doing dubstep? It's like Musha's ideal record.
One of my favourite groups of all time, so damn talented. How many hip-hop groups have a live drummer and play their own instruments? Then Razhel, one of the best beatboxers you'll ever hear, and Black Thought and Malik B are both amazing MC's.
This record:
...opened my eyes to their genius. I've posted this like three or four times already, but it's one of their most approachable and crowd pleasing tracks if anyone wants to dip a toe in. It sounds like if Danny Elfman made hip-hop with the choral backing track and stuff, so lush:
The Roots - The Next Movement
Great video too. I'll just post the one, otherwise I won't be able to help myself and just spam that shit!
Edit: Mike, The Score is amazing. The title track man, holy fuck:
The Fugees - The Score
"You rockin' now but you ain't seen nuttin' yet,"
Hey, did you get your porn or did the obscenity squad kick your door in?

Good shout sploatee. Fuck it, two more, nowt else going on in here!:
D.I.T.C - Thick
Just a nice bouncy hip-hop track, really poppy.
Ras Kass - The Nature of the Threat
A lot darker, it's basically a brief history of man. But the lyrics are incredible. Here's a choice snippet:
"Jews don't salute the fuckin' swastika,
But niggas pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya,"
He also said that what he had done "wasn't that bad", and that the whole thing was "superlolz". Yeah, laugh it up now dickhead, Big Bertha is just waiting for that mushy butt of yours so he can show you how it feels to be on the receiving end of rape.
Fuck you scumbag.

Andy just phoned me to tell me this.
I'm quite surprised, normally we'd be moaning that the sentance wasn't long enough, but that seems pretty spot on.

You're a big guy.
I'd be very surprised if he survives it, to be blunt. Not that he deserves to die. He deserves to suffer thirty-five long years of solitude.

I don't think that Ian Watkins will be saying it's "superlolz" when he bends down in the shower to pick up the soap,.

Nope, I got my porn, it was volume 1 of a hentai manga called Velvet Kiss.
It's not the only thing I've won on social media lately, there's something else that's hopefully turning up this week but I don't want to brag about it until I've actually got it.
Hopefully they'll try him for crimes against music next and add another thirty five years.
Oh don't worry, the shit he'll get in prison will make up for that.

I haven't heard Pure Heroine yet, but Body Music is in heavy rotation. I love that record. And I agree, Aluna hasn't got a particularly strong voice, but damn is it sexy. Smoky as fuck. That first track, smooth as silk:
AlunaGeorge - Outlines
I could listen to this on repeat for hours.
I'm sorry mate.
Pretty much agree with you, what I played was worthwhile but I'm not interested in the 4 (!) other games they are supposed to be putting out next year until they start using a completely new engine. The writing was good but it was janky as fuck, the save bug was unforgivable and stopped me bothering with the 5th episode.
It's not Zelda U. That's still coming.
___________
Reading up on the Ian Watkins stuff.
He isn't getting long enough.
Tecmo is making it. EAD has nothing to do with it.
Zelda U isn't being postponed because of it.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, I thought the game was fantastic and can't wait for the rest.

Someone barked at me the other day when I said Telltale need to get a new engine sorted. They've been whoring that thing out since 2009 or 2010.
They're not Valve, they can't do that.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
They should be working on a Fatal Frame for Wii U, not this blatant cash grab that just further tarnishes Zelda's reputation. Someone even said Ganondorf was just a reskin of Raoh from Hokuto Musou. SMH.
I can't wait to dive into season 2, but I'm holding off for now. I think it's because I hate how long the wait is between episodes. I'll probably casually start playing through them when episode 3 or 4 comes out so it's not such a wait.

That's because Source is scalable as fuck, Portal 2 looked lush, and isn't Titanfall built on Source?
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Honestly I don't want that to happen - I expect it may - I'd rather him to suffer alone. Doing nothing for a year would drive me crazy, let alone 35. Though he does already seem to be crazy judging by his megalolz comments.
Telltale's engine is a pile of balls and I really hope they think twice about continuing to use it into this next generation. And yeah, Titanfall is built on Source. Mental, isn't it?
Edit: Jesus Christ, they've been using it since 2005.
Seemed serviceable for TWD S1 and The Wolf Among Us so far.
I'm not really sure what the issue is?
Depends how many Telltale games you've played. The engine is an easy route for them in getting their games on every platform, but it's limiting their ability to deliver the following:
1. Better looking games
2. Games that don't feel like you're treading familiar ground with a different story or theme
Mostly the second one though. I want to play a Telltale game that doesn't feel like a re-skinned version of something I've already played. 'Played' is the important word there. I love the kind of things Telltale do and the kind of games they make, but they shouldn't all be playing exactly the same as one another. It feels like they're limiting what they can do by sitting with a basic engine that's 8 years old and delivering such strikingly similar experiences. Fatigue out the ass, man.
I've only really played the 2 I mentioned and Tales of Monkey Island.
Enjoyed 'em all. I'll agree that TWAU feels a lot like TWD, but they're visually and thematically so different that I'm OK with that. I've got enough appetite for the style that I'd probably play through TWD2, TWAU, GoT and another one without getting bored of it.
Not that innovation is ever a bad thing, if they come out with something new after TWD, I won't be complaining.
Also, does it say something bad about me how much I love the film Love Actually?
Perfect Christmas romcom. Such feels.
Bit late to the hip hop recs
Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star and Mecca and the Soul Brother are a must.
I'll always toot People Under The Stairs' horn as well, but they're mostly fun/party hip hop. They have some seriously deep cuts though. Out on the porch...
Edit: Oh and here's one for Musha

You know what's funny about it is that no one ever comments about Keira cheating on her husband by kissing his best-friend at the end. What's up with that? Do you get a freebie if it's Christmas or something?
So many cute/hot girls in that movie though.

I think the logic is that you get a freebie if you're Keira, but yes.
Jackben

If it's that she gets a freebie to spread as much love as she wants, that's definitely something I can stand (preferably close) by.

Awesome tunes Acrid, that Madonna rap is genius. Also, plus 1 on Mos Def, love that drawl. The New Danger is a wicked album, so eclectic.
And you like People Under The Stairs? Mint! I love how laid back their sound is, just grooving for the shiggles. I agree with Mike that the bullshit posturing with gangsta rap about "hoes, clothes and bank rolls" just gets on my tits. As for PUTS, I'm always a sucker for this one from "Or Stay Tuned":
People Under The Stairs - Roadbeaters
Gotta go for Bad Santa, I think it's funny as hell. Here's the intro, 2:30 minutes, if you aren't sold after this we probably shouldn't be friends.
"It's funny how things work out, it's fucking hilarious."

Played Season One over Christmas last year. You will experience feels beyond feels. So good.
I want another season of Sam and Max now, thanks a lot afoni! I've been playing both Poker Nights the last few days, the poker is insanely bad at times (so many nonsensical raises) but I enjoy the banter. Poker Night 2 would have a perfect cast if they had ANYONE except Claptrap along with Sam, Brock Samson and of course Ashley J. Williams. Jesus, how I hate Claptrap.
