too many different flava's and style's to exactly pick one from. but i listen to rakim, a tribe called quest (in particularly tip) & redman probably more than everyone else.
but even as soon as i mention those names, my mind starts going what about organized konfusion (pharoahe extremely), nas, 'pac, common, o.c., masta ace etc..
and that's why there will be no clear favorite for me.
