My buddy Carlos has the deepest knowledge of hip-hop out of anyone I know, and he always manages to hit me with some good shit whenever we hang out. While there’s a decent amount of crossover between us, I usually find myself asking him what he’s playing, particularly when it comes to more modern stuff. This weekend, when I was listening to some artists he recently mentioned, I was thinking about who would make my list of all-time greats. Busta Rhymes is definitely in the running without question.
