I am still a relatively new fan of rap and don't know where to go next. My favorite rappers are Nas, Wu Tang, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Deltron, and Black star. Most of the rap I listen to comes from NYC but I don't know if thats important to the sound or not. I also like stuff with good production, my favorite producers are The Automator and the Neptunes. What are some stuff that are similar to the kind of stuff that I like?

there's about 4 threads going below that could answer that a lot better than I could right now.

Young Buck - Straight Outta Cashville
Madlib - Beat Konducta, Vols. 1-2
Juvenile - Reality Check
Common - Be
The Game - The Documentary

I'm telling you, check out Spank Rock.
