Good start.

Big Daddy Kane
Rakim
Nas

Underrated for lyricism: Brother Ali

I'm sure most of you guys have heard Charizma, a lot of times I wonder what level he would have gotten to. By the way, does anyone have the album Big Shots and could hook it up?

KRS-ONE (used to be!)
CHUCK D
GURU
J-LIVE
ERICK SERMON
REDMAN
NAS

I just saw this Rock The Bells -tour two days ago. EPMD, NAS, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Supernatural & Scratch were all there. Note that these kind of stars don't come around here too often. Maybe nowadays a bit more because it seems like Europe is full of old-school rap fans and it's good money for some acts that might not even do that good in the US these days. Anyways I've seen NAS twice and I got to say he's not that great live performer - forgets lyrics and stuff. Ofcoz I liked his Illmatic potpour but yeah... De La and Pharcyde were surprisingly good and also as an old fan I liked EPMD! Sorry bout this offtopic stuff
