Other than Fort Minor and Kanye West, no one seems to really notice the others too much.

@s-mac: De La Soul popularized the genre. They are 100% alternative rap.

What I dont get is Why artists like De La Soul and Common are here. I always considered Alt. Rap to be guys like Aesop Rock, El-P, Busdriver and such.
