Mos Def rocks...so does Talib Kweli
Mos Def has his own style, I digged his work in the High & Mighty's B-Boy Document. Planet Asia, Fresno native, has dope @$$ material as well. Sometimes I play records from back in the day and notice how things have changed. There are stuff out there, original material, that are what the true essence of hiphop is. Ever heard of Supernatural? That guy is mad ill, saw him rhyme at the Martini Ranch a few months back. He's a freestyle rhyming machine.
