Rediscover Ghostface Killahās āThe Pretty Toney Albumā (2004) | Tribute
When āPretty Toneyā keeps it raw, it reinforces that there are few artists that can compete with Ghostfaceās vivid imagery and gutter sensibilities.

What really makes Jay-Z great is that he could rap about hustling and still be an MC at the same time. A lot of rappers couldn't do that. Either they would lean on the drug dealing and their bars were garbage. Or they had bars and would battle rap you to death but couldn't tell a story. He's a GOAT

Big Pun really was like a Latino Biggie. He was able to make the club hits, he had the dope street album cuts. He was just a lyrical monster. We can only imagine what he would've been like now if he was still alive.

Dug this pitch by

for hip hop's early DJs as librarians granting "access to specific records [sometimes from parents' collections], both on the airwaves and in those temples of music, discotheques, a portmanteau, en franƧais, literally meaning 'record library.'"

Hip-hop tracks became a retelling of parentsā and grandparentsā histories; each discovery of a sample source was like finding an ancestor.

Elzhi's rhymes are always jam packed with multisyllabic schemes and witty punchlines. If you're new to Elzhi, you should listen to The Preface and Elmatic, where he did a cover of the entire Illmatic album.

Phonte Coleman is just a calm assassin on the mic. He has this thing he does where he rhymes his words in unexpected places. Like he'll start a rhyme in one line and it won't be until like the end of his second line that he'll come back around to it.

On any given day if you ask me who my favorite MC is, I'll probably say Black Thought. One thing that impressed me about Thought is whenever I first realized that he was nice with coming off the dome. That's kinda of a bonus when it comes to somebody who you already know is a great writer.

This is something ill that I stumbled upon the other day that tells me everything I need to know about why I haven't like an Eminem album in a long time. Now don't misunderstand. I didn't say I don't like Eminem as an MC, I don't like his albums.
