Okay, so I was just listening to the Dead Weather, and I realized something. They're technically "electronic blues", but to me, it sounded like rap. Not only that, but it was the very best "rap" that I've ever listened to Very Happy

Now, keep in mind that I am currently into VERY little rap. I've listened to singles from all the classics (MBDTF, Ready to Die, etc.), but none of them get my attention.

Which made me wonder: Is there any great rap that I don't know about that's really blues-based? I love all sorts of blues rock, with everything from The White Stripes to Zeppelin to PJ Harvey. So if there's such thing as blues-rap, I might fall in love with it.

Any suggestions, guys?

Thanks in advance!

Check out Blakroc - a project by the Black Keys with rappers like Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Q-Tip.
Very bluesy!

I'd probably advise Buck 65.

That's exactly what I was going to recommend. It's literally 'Hip-Hop Blues'.

The group isn't the best, but if you wanted to hear blues hip-hop, that it.

Wasn't there a track by Dylan called Subterranean Homesick Blues?

Otherwise, the only albums I can think of right now are Quannum Spectrum and Solesides' Greatest Bumps
