[Whos Ya Daddy]

How could I forget Die Antwoord, f**king awesome. They've taking trolling to the next level. I've listen to the previous group they evolved from (Max Normal) and it's pretty good. Plus they always kill live whilst a lot of hip hop groups are a major let down.

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Die Antwoord is god. Harmony Korine is god. Video is god.

"Umshini Wam" Die Antwoord / Harmon Korine

that aint trolling, I'm just warming up

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Could prob roll Heltah Skeltah and Black Moon into Boot Camp Clik

Others we might like to think about (open to opinion of course!!!)

CunninLynguists (Kno, Deacon The Villain, Natti and affiliate Mr. SOS). They would be my pick, and personally are the best thing in Hip Hop today. Anyone who doesnt have We Will Rap For Food, Southernunderground, A Piece of Strange, Dirty Acres, Oneirology and their mixtapes/EPs Sloppy Seconds vols 1&2, Strange Journey vols 1&2, and their side projects, such as Kno's solo Death is Silent, Mr. SOS's solo How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb and Deacon's album with Sheisty Khrist titled Niggaz Wit Lattitude...is really missing out. Download the catalogue, they don't mind if you do.

Juice Crew (Marley Marl, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan, Master Ace, Roxxanne Shante, Biz Markie)

Company Flow (El-P and Mr. Len)

The Weathermen (Aesop Rock, Breeze Brewin, Cage, El-P, Tame One, Yak Ballz, Camu Tao (RIP) and formerly Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox)

Black Starr (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) - I think you meant to put them in as you mentioned Black Sheep twice.

Living Legends (Murs, The Grouch, Sunspot Jonz, Luckyiam, Scarab, Eligh, Biccasso, Aesop)

Eyedea & Abilitiies (Eyedea and DJ Abilities)

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo

HRSMN (Canibus, Rass Kass, Killah Priest, Kurupt and a few affiliates such as Chino XL, Journalist and Pharoahe Monch)

 

[Godz Illa]

Outkast ffs!

I have Outkast and Tribe Called Quest in the grand final

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

O.G.C.
Sunz of Man
Surreal and the Sound Providers
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Kool G Rap & DJ Polo
7L & Esoteric
Gravediggaz
Arsonists
The Beatnuts
Dungeon Family
The INC
Organized Konfusion
Pharcyde

How anyone can not like OutKast is beyond. I can understand how people who like shitty West Coast gangster rap over Beastie Boys due to their taste is clearly horrible but OutKast own this.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Can't believe I forgot Kool G Rap and DJ Polo. MM is right about the Black Starr thing.

TT I don't know why I don't like Outkast. I'm confused as to whether you're saying beastie boys should be there or not.

I'll take out Non Phixion and Onyx and it turns out I only had 31 so add in Kool G Rap and DJ Polo, Organized Konfusion and Juice Crew.

People have to tell me who else to kick out of my list because I can't decide.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Diggin' In The Crates (Lord Finesse, Diamond D, OC, Showbiz, AG, Big L (RIP), Fat Joe and Buckwild) FTW!!!

UGK is another group that would come VERY close. Little Brother, Slum Village, People Under The Stairs, Naughty By Nature (if only for Treach...dude is a beast), Goodie Mob...f**k it just make it 64

 

[gUt]

The Streets is another one I like.

I am the only one who rates Cypress Hill?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Cypress Hill hell yeah!

COTC? Probably not enough of a catalogue just mixtapes

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Individually they have been hugely successful, but yeah outside of a few mixtapes and features on Lifestylez, largely non-eventful.

Early Cypress Hill was ill. Muggs is still the man though, his albums with GZA and Ill Bill - manic.

lol @ getting mad over what people pick in an irrelevant list that means nothing.

and lol @ hating a whole style of hip hop just because of where it was made.
