Keith from Ego Trippin' to the Dr Dooom album made the most amount of good music outta these guys, but Operation Doomsday is unfuckwithable. DOOM pulled heart strings on ? in a way that nothing in Keith's entire oeuvre has ever done.

probably the hardest poll for me yet. could go so many ways depending on my mood

GFK probably has the most great material
kool keith has some of the best material as well
mf doom of course

right now danny brown is killin shit

jay elec has some of my favorite songs of the past few years even though he doesn't put much out

deltron 3030 might be one of my favorite records this side of 2000


i'll have to come back to this one

:ghostface: But it was hard to choose between him and Doom.

Keith's fall off has damaged his legacy for me.

Voted Doom cause I ultimately respect the hell out of a very good producer who raps so well.
Ghost is definitely the stronger rapper with more classics, but Doom has made many tracks that are 100% his own shit, and they bang.

GFK because he's my all-time favorite rapper, but it's tough. El-P would be runner-up for all-time fav, but his eccentricities aren't as pronounced. He's just (as much as he likes to deny it) kinda sci-fi. Kool Keith prolly would have won based on the strength of his eccentricity, but he's fallen off like a motherfucker.

Also, kinda disappointed Kanye and Lil B weren't invited to the party.

GFK because his pre 2005 catalog destroys this whole list except for Rza who I count more as a producer.

Monch. He's one of my top 10. Aside from Doom and Ghostface.

Voting Del... between his first few album, Hiero albums, Deltron, & his cameos I probably listen to more of his music than anyone else on this list.
