I've bumped Talib Kwali onto my listening station for the couple of months. Can't get enough of his song, "Get By." It's absolutely one of the best songs, lyrically, I've ever heard.
Check out Murs collab with Slug from Atmosphere... they're called Felt. Really good shit. Love Oddisee too
I'm 52 and have no idea who is or isn't a good rap artist, but my favorites would be Eminem Notorious BIG Andre 3000 Snoop Dogg Biz Markie I of course love RUN DMC as well.
It's interesting, when you read interviews with rappers who their favorite rappers are almost all of them mention Talib Kwali. That's why I first started listening to him, Jay Z was just raving about him an interview he gave about the White Album. Always loved this song with him and Mary J. Life is a beautiful struggle People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle Come on, say it now Life is a beautiful struggle
My friends call me "Mr. Classic Rock." Something I do not apologize for with my hipper friends. I am not suprised that I am behind the times when it comes to hip hop. Most of my favorite artists are dead blues guitarists anyway.
I’m a fan of Wahlberg the actor because he doesn’t seem to take things overly serious......but I was joking about missing his rapper act. By the time I realized it wasn’t a Spinal Tap like take off, he had moved on to greener pastures. Thankfully.......
