Wayne sucks, he has a few decent lines here and there but overall he's horrible. HIs punchlines are corny as hell
"I know the games crazy, it's mo crazy than it's ever been/I'm married to that crazy bitch, call me Kevin Federline" lame and doesn't even rhyme
"Everyone know cheaters never get crowned/I play fair like rollacoasters and clowns" some other song he did, retarded as hell. His metaphors and punchlines are mostly embarrassing, I think only Paul Wall has more weak punchlines - nobody can top Paul's "I'm hot like warm piss" lol.
dude has like 1 good line out of every 100 and acts like he's the all time greatest.

It features someone called Masta Ace.
That "someone" is a legend and with ease one of the best and most consistent emcees ever. Ace has been rapping since 86 when he was down with the Juice Crew. In the mid 90's he even blew up with a commercial song.
+1 Masta Ace!
Another SICK Masta Ace - Good Ole Love
Marco Polo is a producer and this is on some sort of complication he put out with a bunch of dudes on it.

I'm a fan of NY hip hop, but was never a fan of Papoose. Ghostface is nice, but something about his voice bothers me. GZA's flow and lyrics are sick though.

MF Doom (plus most of his aliases)
Hieroglyphics
Aceyalone (partic. the RJD2 lbum)
Quasimoto
Latryx
Saul Williams
Ugly Duckling
Sage Francis
Dr. Octagon
Those are a few more recent ones I like
Plus all of the old school stuff that is too numerous to mention (Tribe, De La, BDP, etc, etc...)
There is a tonne of good stuff out there, you just need to look/ask. There is a thread here that lists some good stuff: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=38&threadid=2021819.
