His replacement in the rap universe slot, is Tom McDonald with his unmistakable lyrical style.

Legend. To be relevant in hip-hop for almost 20 years is rare.
What....., Tom McDonald's skill level.....????
Tom MacDonald is derivative trash that uses a specific "message" to cater to people that would otherwise never listen to hip hop.
If you'd like to discuss his music, please start your own thread.
I see you are trying to get this thread locked. I am not sure why.
Only Tupac, Biggie, Snoop(and Dr. Dre) and Enimem have that same staying power.
Never got into DMX and the Ruff Ryders/Dru Hill but the East Coast (more so Brooklyn/the Bronx) made notable contributions to that genre.
I don't know man, there are plenty of influential names, people that have been around 20+ years. Have to remember it's 2021 now.
Black Thought
Gift of Gab
El Producto
Killer Mike
Aesop Rock
Wu Tang
Tech N9ne
Cube
LL
Blackalicious
J5
Del
You can go on and on
Hip Hop is the voice of several generations at this point. It's a big genre with plenty of room.
