Fifty years of hip hop and somehow I’ve only gotten around to drawing two pieces. Thankfully, Doom & Kendrick aren’t bad picks if I’ve only gotta go with two. They each represent a decade’s worth of my listening pleasure. Can you tell I’m a lyrics guy?
I was pretty sad about MF Doom’s passing a couple years ago, and along Gift of Gab, we’ve lost a few too many of my early favorite lyricists. Scenes change so subtly it’s hard to tell when the baton is passed from one set of hands to another, but it undoubtedly gets passed.
