just a couple..
Legends [you don't have to be dead to be a legend to me]
Big L
Redman
Method Man
Kujo -- Goodie Mobb
Bun B
Ill Bill
Jeru the Damaja
Mos Def , Talib Kweli -- Black Star
Common Sense [not Common lol]
Rakim
KRS-One
hmm.. I'll take a different angle...all mainstream aside
Vast Aire -- Cannibal Ox -- one-liner genius.. my favorite MC
Aesop Rock -- cadence can get annoying, but if you take time to listen to the lyrics.. fucking insane.. most LB heads wouldn't have the attention span to listen to "Float" in it's entirety
Juice
Vakill -- punchlines are just nice as fuck
Rass Kass -- storytelling "Nature of the threat and Interview with a vampire" real technical dude
Kurupt - vocab, multies, metaphors.. not a punchline dude.. but a monster
Sean Prince -- Heltah Skeltah -- beast! fucking insane!
Rockness -- Heltah Skeltah -- beast! fucking insane!
Abstract Rude -- smooth ..his old Battle Axe Records shit is dope!
Jakki the Motormouth - Megahertz -- another cadence dude.. he gets hyped
Del -- Hieroglyphics -- outta left field man this guys vocab is stellar
Saafir -- Hobo Junction -- his cadence should be annoying, but it's ill
Manchild -- Mars Ill -- just that hip-hop underground concious vibe is sick
straight up battle MCs
Qwel - Flow Flow FLow man..
Head I.C.E. - he can snatch things outta thin air and use it against a dude...tie them together in phrases that wouldn't have made sense otherwise -- crowd control
ManEStyles - multiple insanity
Searius Jones - storytellin ability ..crowd control
Math Hoffa - just a beast.. he doesn't give a fuck!
Illmaculate - doesn't give a fuck either.. pretty strategic
Concieted - ha! dude has more name flips than i've ever heard
Passwords - can tie punches with multis better than the rest
Hollow tha Don - crowd pleaser.. fucking crazy ass lines
...there's a lot more to name but damn... these guys have it down in my opinon..
