^That's pop. Not hip hop

[PsYcNeT]

Also, Tom Green (as part of Organized Rhyme or as MC Face) is noticeably missing as well.

EDIT: Almost forgot the Keepin' It Real Crew!

He shouldn't be on the list though.

It is a poor list in general, and I'm not sure if Tom belongs in a top 25, but I certainly think he is better than at least 3 names on that particular list.

That said, even in OR, Pin The Chameleon has better flow. Tom Green is just more amusing (on stage or otherwise), which I think is fairly important when you consider the generic term `rapper`.

Double post, but this had really got me thinking about rappers with flow, and this brought me around to a song I was really into a long time ago, and goddamn does RA The Rugged Man kill this for the like, 90 seconds of his piece.



J-Live is pretty great too.

Also hes dropping a new disc in a few weeks, and the guest lineup looks great. (TechN9ne, Masta Ace, Talib Kweli)

Too dope.

[northcrunk]

Method Man always had sick flow



Wu-Tang just isnt the same without him





Speaking of Jay-Z, here is an interview with DMX where he explains his beef with Jay. Starts at :20 seconds.

[PsYcNeT]

As much as I like that Think Differently track, this Nu-Mark track will always be my favorite J-Live appearance.



So goddamn chill.

EDIT: Musical tour

Large Professor was ####ing sick at Dickens on Thursday, and he was on the latest Nu-Mark disc (which was almost as good as Hands On).

[Violator]

I like this song its actually pretty good

[BlAcKNoVa]

Haven't listened to Onyx in ages but recently went through their first few albums. Still good to this day!







And I had no clue this track existed until today. Just siiiick.

I agree completely. i also think Choclair & Michie Mee should be higher on the list, I think they are both pretty underrated.

Also they might not be the best Canadian rappers but I always really liked Ghetto Concept.

Also if that bitch Drake is on the list, why no Snow? He is just as untalented as Drake and has one of the top singles in Canadian hip-hop history. Hitting #1 on the Billboard hot 100 for 7 weeks, it went platinum in the US and hit #1 in 12 different countries (none of which were Canada).

New album Tuesday



No new album Tuesday but always good for a chuckle

So, my son recently introduced me to Flobots. I did a thread search and didn't see a mention in this thread. I'm sure you hardcore hip-hoppers will tell me why.

I'm liking what I hear from them a lot. Smart lyrics and fantastic music that goes beyond auto tune, fake drums and samples.

[TurnedTheCorner]

All I know from them is Handlebars, because of Rock Band.

Pretty good album, and some good songs on it. Not my favorite, but I still give it a listen now and again.

[iLoveLamp]

New DOOM track produced by Clams Casino, pretty sick.

About once a week this song still pops up on my Pandora stream and I still enjoy it
