Frank's Favorite Hip-Hop/Rap

[TinCanDan]

As a pure, unadulterated lover of just about all types of music, I love the countless sounds, styles, and influences I hear in Frank's music, and even in his interviews when discussing his inspirations. I myself find Frank's undying love of music to be quite inspiring.

However, I am curious if there are any hip-hop or rap acts (new or old) that Frank is a fan of. Maybe even any that inspire him musically/creatively? Just curious. Don't think I've ever heard him (you) mention any hip-hop artists that he's (you're) a fan of. Are the genres just bigger in America than in UK?

There is some I'm into. I was into the whole El-P / Def Jux thing from about 2000 onwards. I like oldschool Run DMC and Public Enemy. And I'm partial to a bit of UK grime as well.
