Philaflava Hall of Fame

Much like they do in sports, we're going to have voting for 5 candidates and the highest vote getter will be inducted. Each poll will contain 5 candidates, some worthy and some not so much. Despite some polls containing more than a few worthy candidates only one will advance per poll. The point is to vote for the one most deserving. There will be some arguments and some insults but the point is to vote for the best in group.

I'll be keeping track of each poll and the end of each year you'll see who we've inducted. The list will be what artists will aspire to be apart. 48 rappers/producers/DJ's will be inducted yearly and you will be the one making it happen.

Inductees:
Round 1: The Bomb Squad
Round 2: RZA
Round 3: Ice-T
Round 4: Kool Keith
Round 5: Masta Ace
Round 6: The Pharcyde
Round 7: Showbiz
Round 8: Kool Herc
Round 9: Large Professor
Round 10: Redman
Round 11: Big Pun

initial gut reaction is Cypress Hill because I need to not hear Dilla's name for a minute.

Crushalot won't be slept on though...

Cam'ron gets on my nerves.

Hard one, deciding between Pun and Dilla Dawg.

If I went with who's music I'll enjoy 9 times out of 10 when I put it on, its Pun easily for me.

Dilla's best is transcendental though, shit is fire production.

I find I always veer towards nostalgia when I'm stuck

Dilla

Between pun and cam here, but going solely based on who I like better today and not following any rules or criterias, since there arent any here, cam would be my final answer.If longevity was a factor here or if this "tourney" had any other rules or criterias, I would probably go with Pun.

if you don't vote Dilla you're a certified f@g

godmc · Post by **godmc** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 1:16 pm

obviously the popular choice but i went with cypress hill. their first three albums (especially temples) can't be fucked with by anyone else in that group (although the majority of artists there are dope).

From a musical standpoint, the next 20 years of hip hop are sure to suck even more than the last 10 years or so. I definitely wouldn't blame J-Dilla for that, though.

from a musical standpoint originality and creativity have been at an all-time high in Hip Hop during the last decade if you directed your ears in the right direction. I don't know what you are talking about...

I'd like to hear what recent albums and artists you think represent this pinnacle of creativity and originality in hip hop. Seriously. I'm interested.

Ummm,yeah. Jay Dee worked on Beats Rhymes and Life..... Jesus Christ, look at his discography.

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jay+Dee

Big Pun - Great emcee who died too soon. But not enough product to win above Jay Dee.

Thun · Post by **Thun** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 4:48 pm

Del deserves this one.

Yeah Jay Dee died and Big Pun had multis.

But Del does lots of drugs, has multis, and will never die!

On the real, though, whether or not you like his style, Del is a flawless rapper. Perfect flow. Original style. Creative lyrics. And lots and lots of great songs to his credit.

Pretty close between everyone but Cam, who I like for the most part.
But his catalog ain't fuckin' with the other 4's...

Dammit.

Went with Del.

Wasn't there an amazing Del story on this board? It involved him smelling, a party and him trying to pull some guy's girl.
