I'm sure this has been done but I can't find it...

Classic? On one level it seems to miss half the point of hip-hop (you know, lyrical skill) but also heightens appreciation of flow for flow's sake. I love all of these:

Peter Fox (German) (I understand tiny snippets but not enough to follow entire lines.)

Liricas Analas (Romansch) (at Peter Zumthor's thermal baths in Vals)

Oh man, I saw Liricas Analas in concert this summer and they were AWESOME. Incredibly sustained energy throughout the show, working their asses off. Got to meet them briefly too - nice guys.
