Ummmmmm...if you have ANY doubts that those links are at a PG standard, I'd suggest you delete them *now* before we have a chance to follow them...the first link is a documentery about twiztid. the second is one of their songs 'story of our lives' they are messed up! seriously, whatch their doc. they are so abnormal it isn't funny! anyone in detroit should know about these two! jamie, as a child, stuffed his cat puffy in the microwave! thats an example
I thought K-Os was Canadian??
I'd put Outkast up there, for lyrical content as well as longevity. Artists like Nas, LL and Jay-Z...as great as they are, there's too many arguments against them.
Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of Talib Kweli...his content and VISION appeal to me so much. Mos Def, Common and Lupe Fiasco are a few more to a lesser extent.
I rap, but I hate the sound of my own voice.
