The CunninLynguists have been some of these few guys, more or less affiliated to the indie rap movement of the early 2000's, who managed to make it and find a place in the bigger rap community.

Over time, their lyrics turned more introspective, their music more cinematic, flirting with folk and rock guitar sounds.
