Immortal Technique - he still just says what he wants to say minus what anyone else says about him being to controversial or anything, doesn't give a fcuk attitude about his critics...

Eminem - I've always respected him, he's the first white rapper to really make it big and has continued to grow despite all the critism surronding him, anyone else probably woulda folded a long time ago.

2pac - because even 7 years after his death, he can still intrigue and make people see the reality of his message, he neva did "sell-out" as some might put it.

Jay-z - don't like him all that much, but to put out as much shit as he has done over the last few years, you gotta be some guy to do it.

Tragedy Khadafi.
