Check out Big L

His album "Lifestyles of tha poor and dangerous" is a classic

"Put it on" - is a proper tune!

Agreed mate.

Got both the albums and they are quality, shame he got killed at like 26 years old or something, would have been one of the greats.

Gotta say my personal favourite is Redman.

IMO it made better use of it than the New Style did.

I struggle with modern hip hop, the old sound still does it for me. Im sure there is good stuff about, but like all good underground music you have to seek it out

One of my faves from ages ago, rips the mighty King of The Beats

A tribe called quest, Jehst, Gill Scott-Heron and Roots Manuva do it for me.

Big l is sick and had a nice flow, he lived the life he rapped about thats why he is dead. R.I.P not a phoney like pac.

I thing Nas and the Wu Tang are great.

A Tribe Called Quest are my favourite group.

My favourite rapper overall is probably GZA. His album Liquid Swords is nothing short of brilliant.

Hip hop is a strange thing. Stray away from the best and you will hate the music. Modern Hip-hop is shite. Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Drake et al have ruined it. I actually liked Kanye's first album but apart from that, this man has been the main contributor to the degradation of hip-hop music and music in general.

I listen to the greats: N.W.A, Eminem, Nas (the greatest), Wu-tang-clan, Notorious B.I.G, Jay Z, Nate Dogg and a few more.

long may kanye rein hipedy hopedy right off and dont come back
