I know very little about rap but I'm trying to expand my music tastes. The rap I did like was Arrested Development and Digable Planets. I'm looking for rap with good beat and good background music but that isn't Thug Life fo Life type of stuff.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanx

Seems you're looking for hip hop then, not rap, so I recommend:

Gym Class Heroes:

Rob Roy:

And everyone on this label. Heh:
Dope Sandwich:

Enjoy!
