Definitely RZA and Eminem for me. RZA has a really deep, 'boombox' voice which completely fits my bill.
Canibus better not get brought up in here.

I hate RZA aswel as 9th Prince, they just sound terrible to me.
Ones that stand out for me;
Ghostface
Freeway
JR Writer
I heard Freeway vs Cassidy and Freeway sounds like he's getting fuck up the ass and he's struggling for air.
I like Nas, RZA, INS, AZ's voices the best.
You sound like you got fucked up the ass by my RZA comment.
He sounds terrible and ruined every wu tang track he appeard on
I forgot to mention max b.
RZA as an MC is definitely an acquired taste, I wasn't in to him when I first started listening to the wu, but over time he's become one of my favorite MC's in the group. He definitely does not ruin the tracks hes on though, give 4th chamber a listen and tell me RZA doesn't steal that song.Quote:

I am finding both RZA and Ghostface both quite annoying after a while. Nas, Ins and AZ is good picks. Everyone have a very smooth voice. Eminem have like 10 different styles and voices so it is hard to decide.
Here are my personal favorite picks:
Afu-Ra: He may not be the best lyricist but he got a good ear for beats and his voice is perfect. Can listen to this guy for days and not getting tired of his voice.
Senim Silla: From to group of Binary Star. May not be as lyrical as One Be Lo but he got a fantastic unique style. To bad this guy only have one solo album (which is very good).
J-Live: Great lyricist, nice wordplay and a smooth flow. A perfect MC.
Masta Ace: Best voice in the game. No doubt.
Some of my favorite rapping voices: Shabaam Sahdeeq, Nas, INS, AZ, Prodigy, Big L, Jeru the Damaja
rockness monsta
^co-sign.
magoo and shyne
RZA/Meth/GZA
RZA doesnt get enough credit, hes been hit and miss on some songs, with his experimenting with his bobbydigital flow, but his lyrics are still dope case and point NYC Crack and Whar. Of recent, I fiend and look forward to his verses more than anyone else.
damn im a Masta Ace fan havent heard that album, dope beat!, I like his methodical almost robotic style like Guru, its awesome.Quote:

Billy Danze (M.O.P.)
Vast Aire
Celph Titled
Trick Trick
Vinnie Paz
ILL BILL
Frukwan
Prodigal Sunn
97-99 Eminem (before he started using screaming over beats as his main vocal style)
Probably tons more I could think of, but those are the ones that stand out in my mind atm.
Killer Mike
Damn UncontrolledSubstans you taking me back!! Props for giving Senim Silla a rec.
No doubt. I bumped the FUCK out of that album the summer it dropped. The whole album had a concept and storyline and, yeah, masta ace got a good voice and laid back vibe on this album. I really love that song BEAUTIFUL. Shit is so soulful and always makes me feel better when life throws me a curveball. P.E.A.C.E.Quote:

^my favorite is still Revelations. Produced by Ace too.
bahamadia
You can't front on that song Brooklyn Masala either. This is the type of album I can listen to with my girl.Quote:

With AZ it is more about his flawless flow than his voice. I think AZ may have the best flow in hip hop.
The most annoying emcee voices to me are Canibus, Talib Kweli, Chino XL, Opio of Hiero, kool keith, Wyclef, eminem screaming, lil wayne, etc.

^Brooklyn Masala is ill. But I will admit when I throw on this album I immediately go for "Good Ol' Love." Something about that sample, whether it's Ace or Mobb Deep, I just get drawn into the song. And both of 'em flipped the sample completely different.Quote:

For a strong voice of leadership, intellect, history and street knowledge: Chuck D of Public Enemy or KRS One are my overall favorite voices.
For the epitome of gutter, street darkness through the vocal tone and lyrical content: M.O.P., Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Freddie Foxxx, D-Black, F-T (Fuc That), Canibus, Big Twin of Infamous Mobb
Chuck D
Meth
Ad-Rock (Beasties)
B-Real
MCA (Beasties)
Ghostface

Q-Tip
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane
Slick Rick
Andre 3000

Jay-Z

He's got a hateful and slightly deranged sound to his voice when he rhymes but in an interview he sounds normal. I think that quality helps his music because his beats are aggressive alot of times.Quote:
Vinnie fucking paz?
Rebel INS has a good voice too.
Thanks!Quote:
