Apologies if there is a thread about this buried deep in the bowels of the CD Dragon, but I am not quite brave enough to venture forth into the Dragon's Maw.

So, this is the place to discuss Hip Hop. Who are your favorite artists? Who do you think is an unappreciated but highly skilled artist? Be sure to mention any diamonds in the rough. Link me to some of their songs if you think they are good and I will listen to them.

These are some of the artists I like that I can think of atm. I listen to them more than anything else.

Ludacris
Eminem(I know I know)
Immortal Technique
Citizen Cope
Sage Francis
Atmosphere
CunninLynguist's
Living Legends
Fort Minor
Deltron 3030
Tupac
Mac Lethal
Kid Cudi
Mos Def
Common

Yeah! Hip Hop thread is made. Anyone else like to freeflow for fun? Or if you actually make a living off it, even better. Let me hear yo [censored]!
