  • The more intelligent rappers like nun and immortal tech the better.

  • @gH0stGuard True, it annoys me how people around me disregard all rap/hiphop as Gangsta rap when there are so many rap artists who have something meaningful to say.

  • I'm finding myself more and more into hip-hop lately thanks to poets like Sun of Nun and Immortal Technique. Much better than the gangsta shit that comes out of most records anymore. We NEED MORE MESSAGE!

  • DAMN!

  • A true emcee. Educating and informing. Thanks. Make a change from them fake ass emcee's who flout their wealth in a world where the majority struggle!

  • let us meet on it

  • Classic.
