I think everybody watched the Grammy's. Well, I watched most of it before I fell asleep. There was much talk about "hip hop's presence at the Grammy's." Funny...I remember when the hip hop part of the Grammy's weren't even televised!
Nevertheless, we all have our favorite hip hop artists who move the meter for us.
Gimme your FAVE FIVE artists (MC's, duos, groups, bands, etc) in hip hop RIGHT NOW! (Note: This would exclude the artists who are no longer with us...i.e. Biggie and Pac)
You must give at least FIVE...no MORE than FIVE (that's for you ShellyShell! LOL)
And each artists that you choose should be relevant today...meaning they should have dropped at least ONE cd within the last five years. (Note: this would exclude Dr. Dre, Rakim, Kurtis Blow, and Vanilla Ice)
Here's mine...in no particular order
NaS
The Roots
Jay Z
Andre 3000
Common
Hollatchaboi!
