I respect:
Krs One for being Real, forever.
Rakim for being A who he is
Kanye West from when I heard his verse on Get By Remix, he has not failed to live up to my expectations from what I heard from College Dropout
Slug- for the real lyrics he puts out, something always Jaw Dropping
Run DMC for Pushing Hip HOp to where it is Now, no matter how good or bad it is, its still here.
Nas for selling out and then coming back against everybody's expectations back in 2001
Royce da 5'9 for being dope
Canibus for being dope too
Aesop Rock for being different..but yet still amazingly dope too
