I think I'll enjoy it even beyond the novelty factor. Even though hip-hop is one of the few musical genres that I flat-out state I don't like, I actually do like a lot of its technical stylings. What I can't stand is the lyrical attitude of popular hip-hop: song after song of aggressively paranoid, egomaniacal ranting. Completely insane and utterly disgusting, to me. So, I happily seek out & reward those who take the techniques in new directions.

Some of these might be up your alley. They're generally pretty creative and the braggadocio is toned down or ironic. I have mp3s if you want 'em.
