I totally dig Outkast. I love their music, especially how they started back with players ball and its just been changing and evolving through the years.

[DeusExMachina]

1. Run DMC
2. Beastie Boys

Beastie Boys, sho' as sugar.

And um... J5 are cool. Roots have a few sweet tunes, tho I haven't heard much.

Black Eyed Peas win grats in my book for their amazing live performance (mostly due to the backing band... actually just the drummer. What a fiend!).
