back in the day, i never had a "favorite" mc.
i had a handful of ones i thought were dope...and better than most...
but to me, the over-all dopeness was production, with a touch of dj'ing.
so my favorite "hip-hop" figure isprimo, ever.
mc's were typically a dime a dozen...
that was until of course i met: roc-one - and that's some real shit. he knows this.
and heard: aesop rock - consistantly amazes me everytime.
My favorite MC of all times, all things considered, has to be Chuck D. I wanna say Ghostface Killah, because he's sooooo nasty with his abstract connections, incredible imagery and blazing style and I wanna say Jay Z or Biggie because they are such incredible wordsmiths and have such tight flows and I wanna say Big Pun because he is such a direct influence on my style (I think) but I gotta stick with Chuck because his voice is so powerful and his message is so urgent and timeless. FIGHT THE POWER!
Common used to be my favorite emcee. . . just cause he would talk about things, use personification, and he used to be ultra wordy
and Pharoahe Monch because of how crazy he would come off on a record. . . he was always off/ontime and had some of the most creative verses I had ever heard
and Gift of Gab because he is just incredible
and. . . and. . . and. . . sorry I have failed miserably. . . can't name one. . . probably why I make music myself
What's up folks. . . this is the third installment of my rhyme of the week series, recorded live at The Depot Coffee House in Hopkins, MN (http://www.thedepotcoffeehouse.com). I wrote this verse the day before yesterday just for you folks. Feel free…

This is super-interesting. I really dig how you breakdown the thought process behind "bob ross" since the lyrics are so out there. Great job Sketch! I love the links and the videos.
