    Had a convo the other day about recognizing rappers purely from their voices, who you think is an easy spot and who is not so much?

    Distinctive
    Chali 2nd
    Roots Manuva
    Mos Def
    Son Doobie
    Slick Rick
    Meth
    ODB
    Sadat X

    Redman
    Talib Kweli
    Ol' Dirty Bastard

    I think most rappers have fairly identifiable voices, though I used to get U-God and GZA confused a lot of the time.

    Ruck(Sean P) and Rock have 2 very distinct voices, i think it's what made them sounds so darn good together.

    There is an MC called Cresent Moon who has the most distinctive voice in Hip Hop. He's in a group called Kill The Vultures (formally Oddjobs) and has loose affiliations with Rhymesayers and has guest spots on some of thier releases. He also used to be Slugs hypeman on the God Loves Ugly and Sad Clown tours. But when i hear him i am immediately drawn to him.

    To me Lord Have Mercy who used to be in the Flipmode Squad has D most distinctive voices in hip hop, he baratone voice was like a bass synth at times. Another distinctive voice is Kool Keith, was never really a fan of his solo stuff but i always knew when he was on a track.

    How come nobody has mentioned Ghostface yet? That high pitch nasile voice, dude always stands out by a mile!

    And Q Tip? He's the original distinctive voice in hip hop!!!!!!!!!!
