    Yeah.

    Chemical Brothers.

    Anyone who can feature Fatlip without being thug is win.

    Also, they featured Kele. That's just awesome.

    I saw Gorillaz was mentioned and I do like them, there are very few gangsta or semi-gansta music I listen to. I like music that makes you want to move while not insulting your intelligence. Show me an artist like that and I'll fall in love with them.

    If you like Gorillaz, you should check out Massive Attack, they're both trip hop.


    Also, look up Blur and The Good, the Bad, and the Queen. Damon Albarn FTW

    MTV sucks.

    Like flat out.

    There's no good music TV stations anymore.

    The best source for good indie music is....

    Isn't K-OS pretty non-gangster?

    I think he's damn good.

    Most of those I'd term as fairly gangsta rap-py.

    Mos Def is pretty cool when it's *Someone* feat. Mos Def. He does a *****in remix of Justice's D.A.N.C.E
