And you know, I think this might be breakout - black hipsterdom meets pop success. I mean I'm only a white guy but I feel like I can chart artistic white man's black man's underground hip hop in pretty inaccurate accurate way. I feel like a lot started with Kool Keith aka Jupiter, aka Automator 5, aka Dr Octogon... underground and innovative enough to have been on a "power-violence" record by the legendary and far more underground band Spazz, or a group like dalek that had a record with 70's innovative german band Faust which eventually ended up influencing pretty innovative labels like the now defunct Definitive Jux. A lot of this stuff is and was influenced by punk. And I'm not talking Ramones, etc.
These guys are like a white hipster savvy Onyx; but I really do like it and just like the now popular Das Racist you hear references to noise punk / hardcore classics. That is the new hip hop.

Mr. Lif - Return Of The B-Boy (animated music video)
Another great music video from Mr. Lif (a Boston Hip Hop MC/producer on Definitive Jux records). There's also a live performance of Status - another track from his amazing album, Phantom; here on YouTube.
Mr. Lif - Live From The Plantation (anti-work music video)
One of my favourite songs of all time...Mr. Lif is an amazing lyricist from Boston (on the equally amazing Definitive Jux records). I highly recommend his album, Phantom - my favourite. Check out the live version of this song here on YouTube (recorded at The Jazz Cafe, London).
