Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. One of - if not the best - hip-hop groups to ever exist. Pioneers of the D.A.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Sound Y'all) genre of hip-hop along with De La Soul. Also a part of the Native Tongues Posse. They forged the gratest hip-hop album of all time (IMO): "The Low End Theory"
"If knowledge is the key then just show me the lock
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock
With speed. I'm agile plus I'm worth your while
One hundred percent intelligent black child
My optic presentation sizzles the retina
How far must I go to gain respect? Ummmm
Well, it's kind of simple, just remain your own
Or you'll be crazy sad and alone
Industry rule number four thousand and eighty:
Record company people are shady"

Possibly one of the greatest emcees on earth. Freddie Foxxx (AKA Bumpy Knuckles) has worked with 2Pac, Gang Starr, Benzino, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, and many others. Has 4 LPs put (I think). They include "Freddie Foxxx is Here", "Crazy Like a Foxxx", "Industry Shakedown", and "Konexion".
It's a shame that practically nobody has ever heard of him. Doesn't rap about the bitches and hoes, but about world issues and real thug things. Him and 2Pac were very close friends before 2Pac's untimely death (RIP).
