Lyrically Pun > Big......Pun was a demon lyrically. Pun was the type of MC that years could pass by and you would just catch on to something he said that you missed. And this is coming from a listener like Bronxitos who uses the rewind button frequently.

I've recognized maybe three names in this entire thread. I like Guru and The Roots.

Both Gangstarr and The Roots had severely underrated emcees.
Guru was great Gangstarr and those early Jazzmatazz records. My favorite album is "Moment of Truth". The Ownerz wasn't too bad even though it paled in comparison to their earlier classic material.
Black Thought and Malik B are two of my favorite emcees. I liked the Roots albums up until Game Theory. Their last 2 records weren't my cup of tea. But of course, with The Roots, you have to hear them live to really get a feel of their talent.
I find myself listening to Illadelph... the most mainly because its Black Thought and Malik B going back and forth on some hip-hop steez.

I like Game Theory, but How I Got Over has yet to win me over. Illadelph Halflife remains my favorite. Step In The Arena remains my favorite Gang Starr.
If we're talking old school, I like Eric B & Rakim, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

If we're talking old school, I like Eric B & Rakim, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Let the Rythm Hit Em is their best album, imo. Rakim was in a zone on that one. That cut "mahogany" is my fav. Flash and the guys are way before my time, but The Message still is the best hip-hop song of all time. |

The Message is up there no doubt. Funny enough my favorite hip hop song is pretty obscure but I have always loved it......It is called Milly Pulled a Pistol on Santa by De La......like the Message it is a great story.

Dre received credit for a lot of production that he did not do. Dre's track record cant be denied but for a street hop scholar like Bronxitos it is Primo all day. Come Clean, Nas is Like, Dwyck and Take it Personal take a backseat to nothing ever.

Bronxitos loves Yonkers. Odd Future definitely has a buzz. Sweatshirt Earl is supposed to be the nicest one? |
