He also says that Eminem, GRap, and Aesop doesn’t have a classic by his standards. Tumi Molekane was the lead singer for Tumi and the Volume, a band that dissolved in 2012. Tumi rebranded himself as Stogie T in 2016 and released the Stogie T album, which included Da L.E.S, Lastee, Emtee, Nasty C, Nadia Nakai, and Yanga.
Only one here started rapping after me… Lupe. 11 classic albums between them, Incase you are wondering I don’t think Em, GRap, and Aesop have a classic by my standards. Also Kanye, Kdot, De La, Redman, Benny, Roots, Mos, Common, Knaan, Snoop, Dre, Wu Tang, Rae have classics

The one name missing from his list is the legendary Tupac, who’s probably in everyone’s Top 10 List. “I love Pac dearly, but at his best, he was never better than that ten at their best,” says Tumi.
