The classic hip-hop story--emcees getting all the buzz while producers go unsung--is at its extreme in the case of Queens' Large Pro. Though he's been a crucial boon to Tribe and Nas, you might not ev... more »

It's too bad the term "seminal" has faded with overuse: it was made for work like this. The New York mixmaster was the influencer of influencers--the guy who raised sampling to new levels of eclectici... more »

That Rakim has long been the quintessential "MC's MC" doesn't mean he's not everyone else's top man, too. The deftest of rhymers, the richest of storytellers, and the latter precisely because he's the... more »

Editors' Review:
Serch's post-3rd Bass career has taken him far afield of the microphone (ironically, the star MC is now a DJ: the radio kind). But when flowing was his focus, he was as tight as any. Serch's early-'90... more »

As one of the greatest hip-hop acts ever, Gang Starr's success cannot be measured by record sales alone. Guru's monotone delivery perfectly complimented DJ Premier's often-imitated boom-bap production... more »
