2009 updated top MC list

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 the updated list of my favorite MCs

Top MC's:

1 Qwel

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. That Qwel link allows you to hear the first 2 minutes of every song on each of his 13 full-length albums.
