Not sure if you're up on it or not, but D-Nice has a series on his website called True Hip Hop Stories (He also has a youtube channel - D-Nice TV)
In each episode he interviews a rapper from the 'golden era' or one that doesn't get much main stream shine.
I enjoy it and check back frequently for new episodes.
Thought you might be interested.
