Mega thread revival, but it's a good thread, so I thought what the hell...


My favorite Hip-Hop artists;

Common
Onyx
Notorious B.I.G
Mobb Deep
Gang Starr / Guru
Freddie Gibbs
De La Soul
Thomas Prime
Snak The Ripper
Deca
J Dilla (songs using his beats)

And more...


Note: I know some of these aren't old school, but they're really good and are safe to say, real Hip Hop artists.

Bump that Best Coast Hip-Hop (Pac included) every day, dabbling in East Coast a little too. No matter what I listen to though I always gravitate to the ideas behind this song.
