OT's HipHop/underground music
i'm kind of inspired by the lil wayne thread to talk about a MC who is truly respectable. his wordplay is amazing, and he talks about whats really going on with a lot of depth and perspective. on top of that, his delivery skills are great, flows very well, etc.
examples: thieves in the night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LQiuQ1xIBM mos def- mathematics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycJ5m5Mt9JE ...real hip hop is not what you hear on TV

i've read a college thesis on one of his songs. its really incredible because it didnt come off the page like bull****.
with the acting and to me, especially, Def Poetry Jam, I love what he contributes to culture. |

One of the few true rappers left. Lil Wayne is a joke.

I have not heard him freestyle but I would say im a pretty big fan of underground/old-school rap. check out NonPhixion, 7L & esoteric or diabolic, jedi mind tricks, Dr.Octagon. i could go on. As for producers J Dilla, Rza, dj premier, dj q-bert. they're all amazing

Ah...you're on the outer edge of the underground. Get past the trendy crap like Mos Def and discover a whole new world. He, is nowhere NEAR being the best.

yeah, i know many hip hop heads who the second an MC gets popular to a certain point, they don't like him that much anymore
yes you can go way "deeper" into the underground and there is a lot of amazing talent out there....i dont think it negates the fact the mos def is a great MC, even though he's way more famous than people under the stairs |

i know aesop, and rjd2. immortal just raps about the same thing in all of his songs and i swear he has a thesaurus right next to him to find the biggest words he can use in his songs. Big L's amazing, The last emperor, KRS one, necro(only if your ****ed up, i mean in the head) Rakim & Eric B. Radio sucks
