Would it doom thris thread if I mentioned Gil Scott-Heron? LOL. Certainly Robert Glasper could be considered an amazing musician who dabbles in the genre.Quincy Jones, and countless other musicians who the Rap-haters would likely consider to be "legitimate", have also incorporated Rap into their music.

And Nas’s lyrics are as good as anything ever released in the genre. You combine PE’s Nation of Millions with Nas’ Illmatic and sprinkle in some "Ms. Jackson" and you have the first 20 years of hiphop.
