So you never heard people who talk about "real hip hop" bring up names like The Roots, Talib Kweli, Common, Most Def, MF Doom, Immortal Technique, Blu, Lupe, Pharoahe Monch, Little Brother, Q-Tip, Skyzoo, Black Milk and all these other nikkas that no one really listens to outside of rap nerds on the internet ???
