So my sisters kid (13) wants to get into hip-hop...

Suggestions? He hates gangsta shit.. We are looking for smooth hip-hop that is good to skate to. He mostly listens to 80's punk rock now.

A sample of what I have now..

* Deltron 3030
* Dr. Octagon
* El-P
* Gorillaz
* Jurassic 5
* Kanye West
* The Roots

So any suggestions for positive hip-hop with smooth beats.

2. I don't consider it 'gangsta', but...

Liquid Swordz by the GZA is pretty much one of the best rap/hip hop albums of all time. :D
