I've never really listened to Mac Dre but I like the song you posted. It definitely has that Heiroglyphics sound, which I guess is the Bay Area style.

Not to forget MC Guru of Gang Starr.
All excellent. I'm particularly partial to Eyedea just because he was a skinny white boy who was better than almost everybody at an early age. I still occasionally think about how easily he could have lived if only he went to sleep face-up when he overdosed.

ODB was, in my opinion, one of the most interesting rappers to ever live.

Guru.. I don't even know what to say. He helped make hip-hop something that everybody has heard.
