Alternative hip-hop

Alternative Rap refers to hip-hop groups that refuse to conform to any of the traditional stereotypes of rap, such as gangsta, funk, bass, hardcore, and party rap. Instead, they blur genres, drawing equally from funk and pop/rock, as well as jazz, soul, reggae, and even folk. Though Arrested Development and the Fugees managed to cross over into the mainstream, most alternative rap groups are embraced primarily by alternative rock fans, not hip-hop or pop audiences.

When I think alternative hip-hop.. Kanye, Common, Why?, The Roots, Black Star, and Atmosphere come to mind. Not shit like Shwayze and Gym Class Heroes.
