good call on Cassidy as a great lyricist. certainly not greatest MC of all time...but def good with words.

others to note:

Royce Da 5'9"
Deltron 3030
Jae Millz (a lot of his mixtape stuff is amazin)
Slug (i actually do like a lot of his vocal stuff)
Lloyd Banks (any mixtape stuff, his albums r'nt a great representation of what he can really do)
Immortal Technique
Mos Def
Mr. Lif (most of the time, hes nice)

thats all i can think of off top...

"Rappers spit rymes that are mostly illegal
Mcs spit rymes to uplift their people" KRS ONE

This would be such a sick track if it wasnt for Kanye West. Nothing against him, but hes gunna get the fastforward button everytime on this track.

On the song Classic: The beat is hot. Produced by DJ premier who is by far the best producer right now if not all time. Kanye sucks as always, but a lot of people overlook that Nas and KRS one absolutely blow in that track too. Nas does some weird ass stupid flow and KRS-one has a bad verse. Rakim is the only one who has a good verse in that track.

On top 5 MC's:
1) Nas
2) Eminem (Ignoring recent [censored], because he's either too drugged out to realize it's terrible or he's making one bad joke)
3) Biggie
4) Rass Kass (i just personally love him so i gotta put him here)
5) Gift of Gab (besides The Craft which blows so hard)



Top 5 groups: (no order, they are all sick)
Jurassic Five
The Pharcyde
Outkast
People Under the Stairs
A Tribe Called Quest

Good underground:
Outerspace
Jedi Mind
Brother Ali
Atmosphere (if you don't like his bitchiness listen to one of his first CD's, 'Overcast!')
Cunninlynguists
Masta Ace
Blue Scholars

This makes me laugh.. Overcast! is not "his" album, DUCY?
How can you speak definitively about a group's album when you refer to them as "him"?

[Massimo]

Slug is the person who is, "bitchy" though. It should've been "if you don't like Slugs bitchiness listen to on of Atmosphere's first CD's, 'Overcast!'"

We all understood what i meant though.

[Maple Leafs]

One of the best rap CDs of all time.

No Bone Thugs Fans out there. OMG they are the sickest group. Just saw them live for the 6th time.

My favorite rap group of all time. I'm jealous that you've seen them live so many times. I was thinking about it but I'd be dissapointed because they're all split up and faded out. I'd pay $100,000 though to see them live in the late 90's. You ever post on btnhboard.com?

Master P
