Heres an artist listing you should start with:
Gang Starr
LL Cool J
De La Soul
Early DMX
Run DMC
2 Pac
Arrested Development
Mellow Man Ace
Brand New Heavies
Craig Mack
Eric B and Rakim
Lost Boys
Kool G Rap
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Nice and Smooth
KRS ONE
Slick Rick
EPMD
Old Busta Rhymes
Kool Moe Dee
Whodini
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince
Marley Marl
Fu-Schnickens
Big Daddy Kane
Main Source
The D.O.C.
DJ Kool
Nas
Naughty By Nature
Buckshot
Das EFX
Beastie Boys
Sugar Hill Gang
Kurtis Blow
Whodini
Afrika Bambaataa
Fat BOys
MC Shan
PUBLIC ENEMY
MC ROB BASE AND DJ EZ ROCK

If you want to save yourself the trouble just go out and buy these cds:
Funkmaster Flex Mixtape Volume 2 & 3
The Source Presents hits from the Vault
Eric B and Rakim - Paid in Full
Old School Vs. New School
Full Clip: a Decade of Gang Starr

These won't have every artist featured, but all have a nice collection of hits from the early 90s. Flex's Volume 2 is still one of my favorite cds
 
L.O.T.U. (Lords of the Underground)
- "funky child"
- "chief rocka"

Souls of Mischeif
- "93 till infinity"

And just about any track by Pharcyde or A Tribe Called Quest.

I've got to second this one, especially if you can find the remix that has Too Short, Richie Rich and like 7 other artist on it that's a REALLY good hit.

I saw them in Concert while in college and they threw out blunts into the crowd. Damn cheap seats :(
 
thanks guys, there are a lot of those i use to listen to, but have just forgotten them over the years. like i said i havnt been into rap for about 4 or 5 years.
 
If you want to hear something current that is still good, pick up a mix tape put out by Rawkus Records. It's one of the few record lables that puts out quality, uncommercialized hip-hop.
 
Kurious
Scarface
Craig Mack
Easy E
LL Cool J
Warren G
Sir Mixalot
D12 (cause their new school but cool)
Method Man
GZA
ODB
Queen Latifah
Kurupt
