Your top 10 fav Hip hop artists of all time

[Beanz]

For me Hip Hop is the ultimate post modern musical form of expression. From it's origins in Ragga dance halls through breakdancing, plunderphonics and turntablist culture it has always been about reinterpretation. DJ's and MC's practising for hours in order to be able to improvise and react to a crowded warehouse or party. It belongs to the world and attempts to make it a corporate homogenised product kind of misses the point. I don't have a top ten of Hip Hop Artists just like I would find it hard to pick just 10 Punk Bands or 10 of anything but here are 10 you may or may not have heard before

I will start in the UK with Scroobius Pip




Staying with the UK with Blade and a great sample from a great single




A great from a bit further back




Awesome video from The Pharcyde




Old School and Funky hugely influential



Naughty By Nature



A proper MC pushing himself and the genre




Keeping it Real the cinematic scope of DJ Shadow



Dead Prez



Format and Abdominal

Great taste I can remember you having similar taste in choons from a while back. I know Missy loves Scroobius Pip and yes "that" Blade.
