Myka Nyne aka Mikah 9 and the Freestyle Fellowship are, in my mind, indisputably the best MCs to walk this planet. Have you ever tried to weave a story of wisdom off the top of the head for nine minutes straight? Eloquence of self expression from the essence in freestyle form. Listen closely.

Speaking of which, what is up with feet and inches? The rest of the world has it right and uses the metric system.
