huh...

old school: rakim. where the hell is rakim above? is it possible that folk have already forgotten rakim-allah?

kool keith/dr octagon<=the finest hip hop record ever i think. kool keith would be among the greatest even had the ultramagnetics never happened. but they did.

micah 9 (from freestyel fellowship) is the charlie parker of freestyle.
you have to see em live.

those fine folk from saian supa crew (there are many great french rappers, but these folk are my favorites).

i want to mention poor righteous teachers too. i just like them alot.


i think hip hop is largely over. there are still alot of folk in the more or less underground doing cool things---technique-wise, brother ali and immortal technique are great but i dont listen to them much. battle mcs are in the main not that interesting to me, even though the battles are.

busdriver is excellent.
