I like a wide range of hip hop, outkast, wu, outlawz, dead prez, Nas, Kam, Boot Camp but mostly old school, LL, Rakim, PE, KRS, Poor Righteous Teachers, Brand Nubian, Gangstarr, 2pac, yo some cats I'll recommend to you that a lot of people are not familiar with are Immortal Technique, Little Brother and Nat Turner. Some of the best albums I've heard in the last year are of course Game's, De la, Masta Ace, Roots, Master Killer, KRS's Keep Right, Ghostface, Kanye West, Pete Rock Soul Survivor 2, dead prez's RBG album just to name a few and if you like r and b check out Jon Legend and also New Edition's (without Bobby Brown) latest that came out on Bad Boy.
