If you scratch beyond the radio surface of American Hip-Hop, you will find a culture that has grown far beyond the typical motto of "Guns, Bitches, and Weed." Artists who know that for each slang/street/curse word, there are a couple dozen more extravagant words that meet the same end. It is not all about "slangin' in the ghetto" and "dollar bills y'all"
Artists of note:
Sage Francis
Aesop Rock
El-p
Lyrx Born
Eydea
Blackalicious
Tribe Called Quest
The list goes on.....
