If you have never heard of this band I would recommend that you give them a chance. Probably the closest band I would compare them to is Galaxy 500 or maybe The Velvet Underground. Here is a great article that Grantland did on the band.
It took me a very long time to start listening to hip-hop so there are a lot of supposedly great albums (hip-hop and otherwise, to be honest) that I have yet to listen to. I really have to sit down and listen to it though, which is why it takes me awhile to get to. Keep your eye out for my "First listen"s. I'm sure they'll continue to surprise you. They're almost exclusively of bands I've just never gotten around to.

I'm taking that as a open invitation to turn you on to some stuff. Hope that's cool. Here's something from nearly every corner of the genre...
Alright start here with the intellect...
Then try this for the southernplayalistic...
Then listen to this for East Coast grimy with funny tones...
Here's Kanye's best beat...
Some gangsta southern Three Six...
There is a lot of Tupac to choose from, but I'd start here with disc two of All Eyez on Me. Some of Dre's best beats in my opinion...
Here's another Oakland rapper you gotta give a shot. It's math-y but you gotta try it.
One more from Oakland. This guys DJ, Amp Live is one of my favorites and these guys were my third favorite hip hop show ever. This is an older song but shows off the skill.
More Southern Memphis rap.
For the Children, some bust your sh!t open with mad skills and crazy dangerous flows...
There are many, many others, of course.

edit for non Dr. Dog related chatter: Dear Bird thanks for all those recommendations above! I've heard some of that before, but I'll add what I haven't to my ever growing list of shit.
