Nice thread..
...And I totally agree with you about Busta Rhymes. And that is saying a lot, because I wasn't even able to get into his Dre produced Aftermath album—and this is coming from a guy who considers Aftermath Presents a personal classic, and even bumped the shit out of the Firm album. Not only that, but I actually like Busta Rhymes as a person. I like listening to his interviews, and I respect as one of the purveyors of hip-hop culture at large. But from the moment this dude came out with "Woo-ha" I just wasn't feeling it. Like you said, too goofy.
Other rappers who are generally respected that I never could get into...
Jay-Z - (of course, I've made enough threads about him so I will leave it alone here)
Bay Area Rappers - their sound just comes off cheap to me. Their sound and their lyrics lack a sort of refinement and sophistication.
Tribe Called Quest - Like someone else said never could get into them. Even in my really conscious Muslim days I couldn't get into these guys. They were just too regular for me.
Common - This guys name always comes up amongst hip-hop purists and a lot of people I respect. I've tried, but never could get into this dude. "The Light" is one of my favorites and I also got into that song that lead to the beef with Westside Connection (the one where he personifies hip-hop as a female) but other than that never could get into him
Black Thought/Roots - I liked "The Seed 2.0" and I liked "Things Fall Apart" with Erykah Badu, but that was it. I remember when they first broke through with "What they Do"—it was a clever video but a boring ass song.
DMX - respect dude a lot and he's a real character... I think "Slippin" was about the only joint I ever really felt of his.
Slaughterhouse - All that talent and the only song of theirs I've liked is "Hammerdance".
