Favorite Rapper and Why is it MF DOOM?

The Lounge General Discussion

I had a whole rant typed out about people always saying Pac and Biggie, and how I wonder if they’d still be held to such a high regard had they not been murdered, but realized it was a bit whinny. So anyways…

Who’s your favorite lyricists?

For me, it’s got to be M. Sayyid of Antipop Consortium. No one will convince me otherwise.

  • Yasiin Bey (aka the artist formerly known as Mos Def)
  • Talib Kweli
  • Nas (AZ was also great, QBs Finest)
  • Guru
  • Wu-Tang

There are more but these come to mind first.

Biggie and Tupac…I understand their importance for hip hop and their impact at the time, but was myself never a fan of either one’s music.

EDIT: I actually think the Wu-Tang Clan’s impact on hip hop globally was more significant than Biggie’s and Pac’s.

start with something easy to digest like gazillian ear, if you like that he can take you anywhere.
