There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I've never been a huge rap fan.  There was some pretty good stuff though that came out of the late 80s/early 90s.  Public Enemy, of course.  KRS-One.  3rd Bass.  De La Soul.  A Tribe Called Quest as someone already mentioned.  I also liked groups like US3 that blended hip hop with jazz. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I like MC Solaar, despite my lack of speaking French.

Yeah I got a CD of his for Christmas last year, and I loved it then, even though I only understood a little, as I learned more I liked it more, and now that I understand everything I love it.

The only hip-hip I listen to right now that I don't understand is the incredible

Swedes cannot do hip hop.  They don't have the right hormones for it.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

General Stuart recommends Immortal Technique.

Third World I would agree with.  His earlier two albums have some decent tracks, but nowhere near enough to make it worth buying the whole thing.

Slug has worked with one of my favourite rappers (Murs) on a few albums. The group is called Felt. Here's a soft, but really good song they did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0794IvqFHEo

Aesop Rock
Sweatshop Union
Brother Ali
Jedi Mindtricks
Black Ice (I'm a little reluctant to really recommend him, as I haven't listened to a whole lot of his stuff, but I like what I've heard so far.)

Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

I've been listening to Atmosphere nonstop all day, it's consistently excellent.
