Kind of weird, most of if not all of my favorite artists emerged onto the scene before 2001. T.I. works I guess. 3 nice albums since '01 and this new one looks promising, so I mean artists who have emerged in '01 and beyond, no one is really touchin him. There are a few guys on the mixtape scene who i'm feelin but they ahven't released nothin yet so i wont count them.
