I've heard of both Living Legends and Hieroglyphics, both very awesome.

I'll have to check out Definitive Jux and Rhymesayers (I have heard of Rhymesayers).

no such thing as a "good" rap song, for that matter there is no such thing as a "rap" song

no need to thread crap, if you don't like the music, don't read the thread

Frankly, i'm surprised it took as long as it did for a thread crapper to come along. :D

they are pretty common in a thread like this.
i'm surprised that he has been the only one

I haven't listened to All Eyez on Me in a while, but I like the song Pac did with Richie Rich on that album (it's on the 2nd CD).
