this is super spicy because there are certain artists that i really like with a certain producer but don't so much like on their own...like CL Smooth for example. he killed it with Pete Rock and then flopped like a mother****er on his own. disappointment of the century. i am suddenly inspired to dedicate a thread to that...

i feel like 20 is a bit too many to consider "favorites" because after a certain number you're kind of just getting into artists you like. that's why its hard to put them in order. but anyways. im including groups in this.

Outkast
Little Brother
Nas
Blu ( with and without Exile )
Wu Tang Clan - individually i would include Raekwon Ghost Meth and GZA
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Gangstarr
DITC
Devin The Dude
Atmosphere
De La Soul

A Tribe Called Quest - q tip independently as well
Bob Marley

ever since i heard doobie ashtray way back when jttl came out i've been a fan. devin and juvenile are the same for me...they don't make the greatest music content-wise, but i enjoy it all.

to tha xtreme and waitin to inhale are two of my favorite albums.

stuff like this:

is why i like devin. the skits on that album are hilarious too. "lookin for something that has that boom...you know...that boom! that bang."

and in "gone" when he's like, "but my bone had a mid of its own"

i can't think of another artist who has that same filthy yet oh so smooth i-don't-give-a-**** type style.
