I always saw this as a blog where hip hop, politics & economics could all be discussed, even if overlaps were few and far between. So in the spirit of integrating the overlooked interest, here is a list of my favorite MCs.
Top MC's:
1. Sage Francis
2. Aesop Rock
3. Slug (MC in Atmosphere)
4. Qwel
5 Mikah Nyne
6 Abstract Rude
7. Josh Martinez
8. Gift of Gab (MC in Blackalicious)
9. Sleep
10. Grouch
11. Eligh
12. Busdriver
13. Lateef
14. Mos Def
15. Coley Cole (One of 3 MCs in Lost and Found Generation)
16. Ex-I (one of many MCs in Thunderhut Project)
17. Aceyalone
18. Lyrics Born
19. Common
20. Nas
21. Tupac
22. Redman
23. Eminem
24. Chino XL
25. Promoe
26. RZA
I'm sure there are some omissions and the order may be a bit rough, but it's enough to get you started (obviously you can google any of these names) if you're looking for an answer to the conundrum of monotonous graphic commercial mainstream rap and are willing to experience the artistry of underground hip hop.
