MaridAudran: Not much for hip-hop (I was big into trip-hop, you know: acid R&B for moody, middle-class white people who enjoy purple margaritas), but there are a few groups I'm crazy about. They fall more in alt-hip-hop or "experimental" hip-hop subgenres.

Soul Hooligan. These guys were a hip-hop side project that got together and released one album, "Music Like Dirt" back in 2002. Always loved the frenetic beats and jaunty, clever lyrics.

Handsome Boy Modeling School, a collaborative project between Dan the Automator & Prince Paul, a couple of hip-hop legends in their own right. Cerebral, satirical, groovy stuff.

My favorite is Clouddead ,another short-lived supergroup comprised of Doseone, Yoni Wolf and Odd Nosdam before they moved on other things. I've never heard anything quite like 'em before (including other peoples' recommendations for "a similar vibe" which never match up), and felt their debut self-titled album in 2001 was nearly a perfect record, sort of an abstract mosaic of funky beats and surrealist noise (with lyrics to match).
I still enjoy cranking out Maxinquaye, so I enjoy triphop as well! I also enjoy pretty much anything Paul and Dan put together, because you already know it'll be unique. :)

Might want to give Scalper a go (as far as I remember most of his stuff on the bandcamp page is PWYW as well).

I actually find myself really digging this guy. He has a mesmerizing lyrical presence, and husky voice to match. Thanks for the recommend!

if you grab any of his albums, I'd say go with "Butchers Bakers" to start

A true classic. The "Kik off" album was easily one of my most-listened-to CDs back then. The German release also had this funky Dynamite Deluxe Remix as a bonus track.
Stupeflip: la menuiserie & Stupeflip: Stupelip vite ! & Some random Skinnyman.
10 years ago ODB left this planet and went home to his... well whatever it was.
