Method Man- Judgment Day

Power to the People - Public Enemy
Fight the Power - Public Enemy
Brothers Gonna Work It Out - Public Enemy
Bring the Noise - Public Enemy
Rebel Without a Pause - Public Enemy
My Philosophy - Boogie Down Productions
Shake Your Rump - Beastie Boys
Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun - Beastie Boys
Shadrach - Beastie Boys

Why yes, I am decidedly old school...but all these rock out regardless.

Jay-Z - The Black Album...

The whole thing is a work of art.

You're looking for something more energetic tunes though, right [as opposed to socially passionate] ?
I definitely second the pandora rec.

also:
Dead Prez, especially their song 'Hip-hop'
Little Brother - minstrel show [some of the cuts off there, i forget the names]
Clipse
boogie down productions

If you're looking for socially passionate, then Pandora's use is a bit limited because it doesn't analyze the content of the lyrics (it's the only flaw that I know of for pandora).
hope it helps.

catcha back on the flipside,
will.

Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Respiration (from the album Black Star)
Common - I used to love H.E.R
If you can find Spearhead - "Stay Human" (the live version) it's really good, or PM me and I'll share it with you somehow. But it's not exactly hip-hop.
