Tuesday Top 10: Hip-hop hurray!

I’ve decided to bring back the Tuesday Top 10 — a not-necessarily definitive list reflective of my interests, tastes and biases. To start, I’ll offer my favorite hip-hop artists, with the caveat that I am by no means a rap afficionado or expert. These are not the greatest rappers or most influential artists — though some would fall on that list. They are just the ones I dig.

  1. Public Enemy
  2. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
  3. The Beastie Boys
  4. Run DMC
  5. The Roots
  6. Third Bass
  7. A Tribe Called Quest
  8. Cypress Hill
  9. De La Soul
  10. Arrested Development

Runners up: , Missy Elliot, PM Dawn, Heavy D, Dr. Dre, The Fugees, Ice-T, Outkast, Wu-Tang, KRS-One, Neneh Cherry

Anyone else have any favorites I missed?
