You laugh as if I've got a bad music taste.
I can respect good rhymes and he spits them.

After listening to a couple of his songs, he's actually not too bad. The beats on his cd are pretty nice too.
I wouldn't say he's fantastic, but I'm glad you posted him, I figured he would suck (as do most entertainers turned musicians)

Aye Ln3uq, he's got skills. Wish he would bring another CD out to prove it wasn't a fluke album.

Guerilla, that's a ****ing hard one,
if you're into hardcore/political, I'd say 3rd World - Immortal technique

if you're into laid back, summer hip hop, Bang Along - The Game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylW2azkOvOY

if you prefer the older stuff, can't go wrong with Gin and Juice - Snoop Dogg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTH2fDzyqOM

if you like the sicker stuff, you want 3am - Eminem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG10xE1hbXI

And, as a final mindblower of a track, give a listen to Better on the other side - Game feat Chris brown, Boyz II Men, P. Diddy (and many others)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwqW8cnHQKE

Hope that gives you some good insight and a route back into the hip hop genre.

Also, to add to "Better on the other side" being such a ****ing amazing track and having such a good message, I got a friend to do this in his DT lesson today:

Been listening to Psycho Realm lately. Pretty reminiscent of Cypress Hill. Not because the first video has B-Real in it.

I'd rather him keep it in here so I can cut it off.

Just heard of this guy today. I can't believe I haven't heard him before. His new album has a live jazz ensemble doing most of the instrumentals. He sounds kinda like Black Thought.
