Yes, a thoroughly great list of artists
I like your style.
Thanks

Jedi Mind is pretty good, but I perferred the lyrics of Vinnie Paz in their first album, the bio-socio-chem-elec-magnetic manipulation of human consciousness instead of his hate filled and very simplistic lyrics of neaderthal brutishness. But Stoupe on the other hand, brilliant producer, ever listen to his productions on Canibus' Rip the Jacker album.
Meh, Vinnie Paz is still pretty good. It's pretty sickly aggressive at times, true, and inferior to the likes of, say, a Mr. Lif or an Immortal Technique, but he busts out a real good piece of lyricism every track or so on average.

You listen to Tupac Shakur, Dilated Peoples and Atmosphere?
I listen to the last two, but not 2Pac. I can't explain why, really, but to me he's never been of the level that a Rakim or a CL Smooth reached. Probably the taint of the West Coast
