Jurassic 5 also would be pretty close to the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tinfoilhat   11 #54 Posted December 26, 2017 Won't argue with many mentioned so far, chuck d being stand out for me for sheer gravitas.  Having said that I heard a guy on Craig Charles a few Saturdays ago who was absolutely brilliant - a bit like old school de la soul but about 10 times faster, great fun. Little something? Waxy something? They were a duo the other name must have been on the decks. Better than a lot of twaddle passed as hip hop these days.

Harrystottle   10 #55 Posted December 26, 2017 This reminds me of the old Chris Rock line.  "The country goin' to hell! The country goin' to hell!  You know the country going to hell when the best rapper in the world is white, the best golfer in the world is black, and the tallest guy in the NBA is a chinee!  The country goin' to hell!"
