Some of mine nowadays:Apathy - because I have yet to hear somebody who can rhyme better than this guyLouis Logic - Because he's basically identical to apathy except has substance to his stuffImmortal Technique - Because he's a great lyricist and powerful and political at the same time
Couple Tech N9ne fans here huh? Awesome. I started listening to him after I already posted my faves in this thread, but he's great to pump you up. Bone Thugs are up there too.
