Props to Andre's taste in music, but I've always thought OutKast were terrible.

Not trying to start a flame war, but I'm wondering what hip hop you think is good? Or are you one of those folks who think all hip hop is terrible? As glen said, Kast are considered by most to be on the top shelf of their genre, and in my opinion certainly the best of their contemporaries, though possibly because their contemporaries are so bad.

I said current. I'd have to add 20 more names/groups if we're going old school.

Tight. I'm a huge Keith fan, but I've not heard of most of these.

That's cool. Just like any genre, you gotta wade through a haystack of shit to find that one needle. Just my preference; but with the exceptions of Killer Mike, and early Geto Boys (and maybe some Ludacris), I've never been a big fan of "southern" hip hop.

Geto Boys - Grip It... will always remain classic!
