Thank you, my point exactly...I cant stand the new artists, well, most of them. This is why I only listen to "old school rap". I like your list, but perhaps I could add Big Punisher. How a seven hundred pound man managed to control his breath and rap like that, amazing, absolutely amazing. Big Punisher - Still Not A Player. Check it out.
