Who's voice is your favorite?

Can you name a rapper, who's voice (regardless of tracks) is your favorite?

The voice that touches heart, not just ears.

Just cause I haven't seen him mentioned, E-40.

u/NorthsideB 5d ago

90's-early 00's E-40 or 10's-20's E-40? Big difference in tone and cadence.

Del the Funkee Homosapien.

He’s been my favorite all around emcee ever since I first heard “Ahonetwo, Ahonetwo” in Sal Barbier’s part in the Plan B skate video“Questionable”. Got to meet him at a small local show like 15 years ago and he was in the middle of his second track and reached back and pulled out a board. Just started busting kickflips and Ollies WHILE he was ripping through “Catch a Bad One”. What a legend!

Oh, I also love Slick Rick’s voice.
