Here's a few:

That's funny...I tend to list Pharcyde's "Passin' Me By" as essential listening as well.
I also like SugaHill Gang's "8th Wonder" 'cause it really pioneered the way between hip-hop as a small cultural movement and breached the barrier to mainstream appeal.
I also like this joint personally, it's gotta g-funk kinda sound.
Gots mainstream appeal too.
Another!!
And another...these broke mainstream barriers but that was back when the golden era of hip-hop was flourishing.
I also really like K7's "Come Baby Come" as the instrumental is a classic that gets sampled a lot!
If you like b-boy electro/freestyle breaks.
Peep this version of another classic, "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc, remixed by A'Gun a russian b-boy electro producer.
P3@cE!
Don't sweat if there ain't much participation in the hip-hop forums...maybe you gotta set the example.
You've already put me onto a couple joints. You have a good ear for great melodies.
how you get plugged into the hip-hop scene down under, yo'? I see you over there in Jersey...you a transplant from Australia or somethin'?
