I respect Immortal Technique... even when the gay shops dont sell his music cos of controversy he just shoves more of it in their face... he speaks the truth, and doesnt give a shit what anyone thinks...

I respect Aesop Rock... being completely different but never changing to suit someone elses tastes....

And Jay-Z.... no matter how much money he got, he always stayed dope and consistent... any rapper that has his 3rd best album released 7 years after they get in the game deserves respect.. most rappers fall off after 2-3 years..
