Introduce me to quality foreign-language hip hop, please

[Ikonoclast]

OK, Looking at your list of albums that are your favorites, besides Illmatic, you need serious introduction to better rap. Even though it is not foreign language hip hop, you should listen to Big L. His album titles are "Lifestyles of the poor and dangerous" and "The Big Picture". He also uses some spanish words incorporated in with english ones. Hands down the best rapper ever.

Ok, I'll check him out for sure. Any further suggestions?

As should be obvious already, I generally prefer my music on the positive tip, and very original. Unless, like Illmatic, it is of amazing quality. For instance, while I think eminem is a creative and skilled rapper, I don't care for his music that much, because all he seems to do is hate.

It's not of a foreign language but you should check out UK's Dizzee Rascal. His album "Boy In Da Corner" is awesome.

I don't know what's funnier: "He also uses some spanish words incorporated in with english ones" or "Hands down the best rapper ever."
