MOBB DEEP

Yo this is one the rugged duo's in the hip hop history, Prodigy and Havoc are coming out of Queens, and they are representing it to the fullest. At the first time they came out with their debut album Juvenile Hell they were proving a point that young cats can flow and put down the dope metaphores just like them older cats.

I could hear that they were hungry at the time their second album came out. It was obvious they were promising. They were mostly rapping about what kids in urban America is going through. You could hear they were angry at the world. Most of all they saw the oppertunity to propel with doing the things they love that is making dope rap songs.

They worked with big names such as Nas, Reakwon, Q-tip, Kool G Rap, Lil' Kim and many more. My favourite collabo is on the Infamous album called 'Your beef is mine'
This track has a little bit of that Wu-Tanggy flavour to it. On the album 'Hell on earth' the duo was rocking those Chris Lighty beats with help of few guest appearences.

KEEPING IT REAL

What are a lots of rappers claiming nowadays, that you have to bust you gun, sell drugs to keep it real. What is real? the opinions can vary. Some say keeping it real is being hardcore and versatile. For every rapper it can be something else that term 'keeping it real'. For a rapper that truly lived the life of a player. He can tranlate his experiences into musical form.

A teacher that happens to rap he can educate the listners with wise words and entertain them as well. I think that is 'keeping it real'. If he realize that he does not have to fool the audience by playing a roll like an actor, but representing his back ground and stimulating the listners to study and become wise like that rapper with a teaching background, then this is keeping it real.

I know a few rappers that come with original lyrics and inspires the listners to become more aware about their social and economical oppertunities. Not to point fingers, but to be independent and go out there and grab the chances that there are. That is 'keeping it real'

CAMP LO

You know how serious kids from the Bronx are about hip hop. Since they started this hip hop culture, they are far from lazy to deliver the dopest lyrics and rhymes to the listners. One my favourite Bronxs group is Camp Lo. The debut album got so much attention from the underground hip hop listners it became an instant classic.

They are coming soon with a new album. It is called 'Black Hollywood'. You need to check that out. It is going to be banging. The hit track 'luchini' gave us the taste of real Bronx vibe.

KANYE WEST

This rapper from Chicago got his name known all over the globe in a short perode of time. I knew Mr. West as a producer. Since the College dropout album,his name is a fact in the hip hop world. No one can not afford to mention his name when they mention Rocafella or when they talk about rappers from Chicago.

In 2004 at the time when I heard the track 'trough the wire' I knew the reason why Roc signed him. What ever track Kanye touches, it turns gold. From the cultural perspective Kanye West has lot to offer to the Hip hop community. Tracks like 'Jesus walks' is a track that got him to the top of the charts.

On the track called 'classic' he spit on a beat with Rakim, Krs-one and Nas. This track, which is produced by Primo Kanye proves he can keep up with all the big names of the rap game.

DE LA SOUL

At the time I got to know A Tribe called quest I got to know music of De La Soul.
I was into that whole Native Tounge Movement. While the gangsta rap was taking the chart with commercial hits, you had groups like De La Soul also getting into the charts with underground hits.

In the begining people thought that De La soul was a crossover hippie formation.
That was not true, because they represent the hip hop culture well, with funny lyrics and most of all they displayed positivity in their raps.

The innovation is one of the keywords to describe De La soul. You can hear that they influenced groups such as Black eyed Peas and Digable Planets.
Since De La Soul dropped their debut album 3 feet high and rising they were on the map.
