I think you should snag Freestyle Fellowship and Haiku d'Etat and Mikah 9 / Myka 9 and Abstract Rude and Aceyalone.
Start with Freestyle Fellowship - To Whom it May Concern
I think it's just as or more important and entertaining than, say, the Roots' or A Tribe Called Quest's early 'classics'...
Freestyle Fellowship is kind of like the 'Anvil of hip-hop' in that they were kind of forgotten, never got the amount of respect they deserved...
You should probably try to find the album Mikah 9 - Timetable...
Here's a couple tracks from these guys...
