  15. Anything on the following labels:
    Stones Throw - Ok lyricists but really good beats by Madlib Oh No and J dilla
    Def Jux - Really good lyricists, harsh beats and real paranoid out look
    Rhymesayers - Good midwest wrap, more personal and less crazy than the other labels
    Nature Sounds - the most gangster/straightforward of the labels

    then Wu-Tang Clan are critical to all smoke sessions, along with RZA and GZA solo albums
