agreed on everything but I can't stand eminem, I've never liked one of his songs, and never will. He's always tried wayyyyyy to hard for me.

BUT props on the Blue Scholars!!!! Still no one on fivedeez?

[UnitedWeStance...]

I've heard fivedeez... their stuff is awesome! Ever heard the remix of "Latitude" with Nujabes?

How did I miss this?

YES!

I've loved that song ever since I heard it on one of the Tony Hawk games

I so agree with this. He was OK with Digital Underground but that was a group that didnt revolve around him.

I always ***** him though and I know I will get crap but I always ***** Biggy also.

I really culdnt stand to hear any of his songs at all. Especially once Puffy got deeply involved. Thats when all that R&B sounding crap came into play with his beats.

[residentevol]

So dissapointed that I looked through this thread and didnt see Mr Lif posted once..

Thanks for bringing up some good memories though guys...

Also not sure if anyone brought this up but Cannibal Ox is something you need to own...shit is deep as hell.

Here is a few more to chalk up on your list

Company flow (mainly El-p)
Prince paul..not so much for rapping but his production on albums especially "prince among thieves"]

[Picaso]

i'm glad this thread was made, i've had many debates with people on what's considered to be quality music, it's definitely sad that 90% of music gettin radio spins is garbage. maybe it's best that good music remains underground seeing as how those artist seem to do it purely for the love rather than a for $$.. too many great artist fall off after gettin caught up with fame.. anyways i won't go on but here's my 2 cents

-Bored Stiff
-Zion i
-J Cole
-Tribe called quest
- Blu & Exile
- Common

This is what I've been listening to forever. I know I'm only 20, but rap nowadays sucks HARD!

I agree. I never listen to the radio, but today I was in a buddy's car and some shit came on, and I really don't know how the hell it got on the radio, it was horrible. Of course it was autotuned and something about sending texts. I can't believe some "artists" if you can even call them that are making money and getting exposure with those songs.

Liking this thread! Here is my contribution:

Zion-I (I know they are already on this thread but they are awesome!)

Ugly Duckling

Yeah Zion I is good shit.
Good to see someone who knows Ugly Duckling.

I love this song
