The Roots, tribe called quest, Blackalicious, Krs-1, Devin the dude, Ghetto boyz, Old wutang. Pretty much everything else I hate.

Recently discovered Mos Def and I am loving it! The New Danger is something else... I like him because he's not just a lyricist but a poet as well... much in the same vein that Otep Shamaya is to metal... call me old skool but I like the old Snoop, Dre... though one of my favorite songs of all time is Craig Mack's "Brand New Flava in Ya Ear".
if you like mos def check out "black star", mos def and talib kweli.
listening to jurassic 5 right now
