Definitely Freeway. Even though he always had lyrics and a great energy, that voice used to annoy the hell out of me.

But I think he definitely got better also as he stepped up his pen game and eased back on shouting all of his lyrics.

Get that Freeway 'Stimulus' package with Jake One on the beats if you haven't copped it all ready.

I played the hell out of this song a couple of months ago:

Trillip Brooks

Young Buck, i used think he was wack on beg for mercy, but when i heard straight outta cashville, i started liking him

WHITE POWER!!!!!1

Mac Dre

E40

Lupe Fiasco

Chamilionaire

are a few That I feel take a bit of time to acquire a taste for most out side of their areas...

Worst Production, could never do Hook's that were Catchy, boring Album's, no Melody, no ear catching Flow, boring content


But putting words together Nas is dope and a nice Story Teller

MF Doom...when I get high and drunk..listen to his music...that's where I starting fell in love with his music.

I didnt like MF Doom at first but his sometimes off beat flow rubbed off on me when i heard MM..food and a couple of listens of Operation doomsday.

I disagree homie. some niggas just have to grow on you. I HATED pretty much anybody from the east coast that wasnt BIG, especially Rae and Ghost. Thought they were total garbage, now i fucks with them niggas hard.

1. I hated East Coast rap 'til someone gave me "Flesh of My Flesh..." for X-mas. Loved it.
2. I hated "My Name Is", then I listened to the album and became an Em fan.
3. Didn't like Chamillionaire 'til I went back and listened to all the Mixtape Messiahs.
4. Even Jay-Z took a few years to grow on me. Still waiting on Nas to...
