For me, it'll be the following MCs:
Talib Kweli.
Dead Prez.
Little Brother - apparently the group is now defunct.
The Roots.
Mos Def.
Mad Villian aka Victor Vaughn aka MF Doom

Far from the tightly controlled media messaging and burly security guards of Microsoft’s E3 showcase, an Italian press advert has just revealed what appears to be the angular shape and multi-functionality of a new ‘slim’ Xbox 360. Check it out.

The games industry has been awash with rumours of just such a unit ever since Sony launched the PS3 Slim and sales started catching up on the Xbox 360. Earlier reports even showed what was supposed to be the compact innards of the device too, while others speculated about what it would do. Microsoft remained resolutely silent throughout, though.

They’re still keeping quiet at the E3 too, where yesterday’s big Kinect expo was locked down tighter than gnat’s chuff. Fortunately no such measures have prevented Microsoft Italy from spilling all the beans. Here we go then,

Assuming that all of this is not some kind of giant wind-up, the New Xbox 360 is both more slender and more angular than any of its predecessors. It’s new form has a slightly menacing air about it, in fact. Otherwise the Italian ad confirms that it has all the bits inside that should have been included all along – a whopping 250GB hard drive and built-in Wi-Fi compatibility included. Needless to say it’s fully compatible with ‘Kinect’ too.

Beyond that we’re as much in the dark about price/release date as we are with Kinect itself.

Yo, lost generation, fast pace nation
World population confront their frustration
The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
It's all contractual, and about money making
Pretend-to-be cats don't seem to know their limitations
Exact replication and false representation
You wanna be a man, then stand your own
To MC requires skills, I demand some shown
I let the frauds keep frontin
And roam like a celluar phone far from home,

T.R.O.Y by Pete Rock & Pete Rock. Pete Rock is a great DJ and producer. Back then it was vinyl and artistes looked like everyday people in their videos - no blings either. A tune that brings back memories growing up in Lagos and YO! MTV raps. My cousins and i used to risk life and limb, climbing a high concrete ladder to turn the cable dish so we could catch the programme

These white boys could rap. This was way before Eminem. House of Pain - These American Irish lads deserve a place in hiphop history. Back then a friend of mine took his dad's car out for a drive(without permission of course ) and crashed it whilst jamming to this song. Memories. Play this in a pub and it is guaranteed to start a riot.

Tupac Amaru Shakur - 2PAC. The greatest rapper/MC of all time.  His demise has not overshadowed his amazing body of work. One of the greatest posthumous selling artistes of all time. He is a poet, a prophet, a socially and politically conscious MC and some call him also a thug.
