Sage Francis is probably the closest you can get to the roots, while being a little bit different.

I agree with J5, but some people still like them these days

What is the topic of this thread? The Roots? Our favorite hip hop act? I'm cornfused, all these rap threads just kinda blur together.

just reread the first post over and over until you figure it out...

 

[Max Power]

"is there anything that comes close to the roots?"

yeah, this is going to head down a totally different path from the "your favorite rapper" "best underground rap" "90s hip hop" etc etc threads.

lets all post about jedi mind tricks for the umpteenth time!!!!
