Hip Hop Poll: Round 1, Poll K

I don't really know the others and I just don't feel like voting for Kool Keith so I went with All City Chess Club.

Honestly, I don't know any of them except Kool Keith but he's one of my favorite rappers so I still voted for him.

All City Chess Club is a group that consists of Lupe Fiasco, Asher Roth, Wale, Diggy Simmons, J. Cole, Charles Hamilton and Pharrell Williams

You probably shouldn't vote for All City Chess Club just because Pharrell is in it, unless he isn't rapping of course.

yeah his rap skills aren't that great but as a producer he deserves credit for it and he probably did some beats for a few of their tracks.

Company Flow FTW. One of my five star hip-hop artists.

I'm hesitant to vote because like Janszoon I haven't heard much from some of these; however, I'll also go with Kool Keith. All City Chess Club- I don't know, for me it's a matter of some of the component parts being > the whole.

You all need to get Funcrusher Plus. Right now.

Noted. I'll dust it off and give it a proper spin here.

You should download the extended version of Funcrusher, it has some sweet bonus tracks.

You all should TRY to find some Oldominion. They're not easy to find for download but they are good. Solid crew from the Pacific Northwest/Washington State area.

Hopefully I can show a few people before they place a random vote for want of not just voting for Kool Keith cuz that's all they've heard of :wavey:

Voted.

Charles Hamilton is something else.
He makes odd decisions, but, in my opinion, some very good music.

why isn't Diggy at least bolded? he's getting pretty good. have you heard some of his mixtapes?

I actually haven't really payed attention to Diggy's music.
Any mixtape recommendations?

you should check out First Flight and Past, Present(s), and Future

he freestyles over Shook Ones and it's pretty tight.
