Other rappers I really like - Dr. Dre, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Outkast, Zion I.

Other rappers I somewhat like - Eminem, Jay-Z, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Beans, Immortal Technique, Mobb Deep.
There are two emcees in Blackalicious, Gift of Gab & Chief Xcel, and they're pretty good, NIA was a pheonominal album. JUST HOW I MANAGED TO FORGET TO MENTION IMMORTAL TECH IS BEYOND ME. He's in my sig after all.

I also forgot about Styles of Beyond who I worship, and Sole & Alias of Anticon. AdeeM also, excellent. Beans is ok I just wish APC would get back together. Common has fallen off big time though.
