anyway.....
Canibus (hes a lethal lyricist but i'm just not feelin' his music)
DMX (never really got into him)
BIzzy (he comes off o.k on some tracks but 8/10 he is too simplistic)

Snoop and Dre (o.k...let me explain....they were one of the pinnicles in rap music, they basically revolutionised it into a more widely acknolwedged genre....however, the fact that Dre has all his lyrics Ghost Wrote for him and snoops sometimes simplistic rhymes and annoying voice...there on my list)

BTW: I listen to d12 + Ja....Listen to Kuniva/swifty...then say you don't think D12 have ability.
