What say you? There have been several good groups out there that most have heard of (Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest) and some newer groups you probably don't know, well at least if you live under a rock, like Black Hippie and Odd Future.

My personal favorites:

Fitting video especially with the now popular Pusha T vs. Lil Wayne/Drake beef. Pharrell's opening verse puts Wayne in his place.

Still a big Bone Thugz fan, even though they haven't had much success since the late 90's. I liked Westside Connection too.

Tribe. And GOOD Music, circa fall 2010. I'm actually a real big fan of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, too.

Early stuff yeah. The more commercial, pop-sounding later stuff...not so much.

Early OutKast is boss. Aquemini = GOAT.

Good one. I forgot about them. Rumors have been swirling for a while about one more album in the near future.

I really like Pitbull. You know mr. worldwide. He's solid, real underground. Gotta dig to find his stuff.

Forgot about Gang Starr... "Moment of Truth" is a classic. RIP GURU

Good call on Slaughterhouse. Not sure how I forgot them.

Also agree with you about Young Money getting embarrassed by Pusha T and company.

Agreed. The only people who think YMCMB would embarrass G.O.O.D. Music are either a.) under the age of 17 or b.) retarded.

Drake is great. The mixtape shit he used to put out was awesome. The rest of ymcmb is retarded. I liked that group that sang "its bigger than hip hop" I think it was dead prez but I'm not sure. Been a long time since I was that devoted to music to remember the artists.
