fav5

a lot of people ask me, as a writer of all sorts of music, "what type of music does dom listen to?" let me be clear. i listen to every genre of music. that being said, this is my fav 5 and why:

5. wale - this guy crept up on my top 5 list fast for his lyrical content. he's not just another rapper. he is a true street poet. 5 stars!!! somebody tell a friend to tell wale that we need him to come to our city too. we got some kids here that need some words of wisdom.

4. t.i. - impeccable swag. consistently on the chart list. you gotta respect the effort he puts into each and every album.
3. kanye west - i can't pick against fam but that's not the only reason why he's on the list. he's the buzz all over the world and a definite crossover threat. i dont care what anyone says about this guy. my favorite karaoke song comes from "heartbreak and 808s"..."robocop"!
2. chamillionaire - king of the south, especially in the mixtape game. anytime he is challenged, he steps to the mic and delivers perfection. you gotta give props to a guy when he released an entire album without cussing or using the n-word in spite of what oprah said. genius!
1. j.a.y. - anyone that can switch from hip-hop to r&b without losing street credit is a winner to me. outside the fact he's my little brother, the punch lines he presents make him a champ at a very young age.

honorable mentions - trey songz, lupe fiasco, fall out boy, chris brown, fabolous, jeremih, wyclef jean, young cash, t-pain, lil wayne, paramore, drake, and ne-yo

who's on your list?
