RHH folk, can you help me find real hip hop to listen to?

sorry if this question sounds awkwardly worded.

i was feeling a bit awkward writing it.

Update:

I've been listening to a of RHH, well i think its real-not too sure, lately and I was wondering what songs you'd recommend to someone new to all of this.

I've listened to:

Black on Both Sides - Mos Def

Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star

A few Talib songs, a few Nas songs.

I don't know many other people. I don't even know if Nas is real hip hop, i've gotten confused over the last few days.

anyways. can you help me out. please? i'll listen to anything pretty much.

thanks a lot :D i appreciate it.

Update 2:

also any particular song[s] you liked.
