to be totally honest i respect eminem more than any other artist because of the struggle he went through and the way he succeded in a black industry sooo well. i like it and respect him alot. + he has great music
hmm legendary. . . biggie pete rock lord finesse gangstarr diamond d rakim gza hiero & souls edit two more i would feel bad if i didnt put em: run dmc public enemy
motion hit the nail on the head. I'd add Ice Cube and Eminem. Eminem because of Infinite and what he did on Ruckus (I think the album was Fuckin Crazy). And 50 Cent would have been a legend if he hadn't gotten all gay when he got signed to Aftermath. Search for power of the dollar on isohunt.com and you'll see what I mean. edit: o yeah i forgot Eazy E and I was thinkin about Afroman, kind of a one hit wonder tho
I can't believe only 1 person mentioned mac dre... mac dre keak da sneak andre nickatina e-40 cmon...
First off, +rep for Keak da Sneak. Basically no one knows about him. Binary Star Atmosphere Big L MF Doom MF Grimm (similar to Doom, does a lot of stuff with him) A Tribe Called Quest Immortal Technique (great flow) Aesop Rock (again, great flow. he totally turns the lyrics around then brings them back, it's ridiculous) Devin The Dude Keak da Sneak Ghostface Dj Eclipse Dj Shadow (relatively unknown, only heard one of his songs. eh alright) And finally, my favorite MC out there. The most unknown dude haha Copywrite. His name is spelled so many different ways it's hard to track him down, but once you do it works out. He's a white guy, if that helps.
The Visionaries, you guys need to hear them, or else you'll stay stuck living under a rock. The Beastie Boys are my favorite hip-hop group hands down, they always come out so fresh and they never get stale, that's what it's all about.
Johnny haze on tha set word up blades Peace to "Mobud" for throwing out my guy the dope DJ eclipse on a biggup DJ'd the Legendary bugged out canarsie crew Non phixion. Peace to "Just blaze" for mentioning Cage Kennylz i respect cage for life and anyone who knew cages mental issue, pcp and abuse riddled history would. Peace to "Keep smoking reefa" that mentioned Necro the ultimate death rapper and also my favourite beatmaker/producer. i gotta shout out: big pun ( legendary double speed, amazingly phat) darkstar (& engineer present the corpse) rhyme asylum ( legendary deep albums, state of lunacy) celph titled (brings the ninetys to the 21st century, beefed with cage & RA collab) people under the stairs (Bringing fresh beats on the set) broke 'n' english (Representing manchester, this is our lives) The arsonists (respect the unexpected) nas (illmatic, it's yours, road to zion) sticky fingaz (lickin' off shots at source awards) Big twin (survivin & keepin tha fakers shook) Method & redman (the funk doc super sperm tical duo) Ghostface killah (the Wu tang ladies man) Killah preist the 10th member of wu tang (better than U-god) Raekwon (i sold weed to him also unlimited cred for C.R.E.A.M & Sneakers) And last but not least why has nobody mentioned on this post "THE LEGENDARY R.A THE RUGGED MAN" AKA "THE KING OF THE UNDERGROUND" AKA Remember you can be legendary if your commercial success is non existrance, you just have to have madd rep madd cred and pure love from the street rats n hoodcats! peace!

Nothing but respect for the best rapper ever
