yeah I definitely should have had the roots on there, there were a few major omissions here that people have accurately pointed out. to answer your earlier question, no particular goal in sharing this on hn, just thought it would be fun to encourage people to listen to music that they may have avoided in the past and get feedback from hip hop fans.

Wu Tang and Tribe definitely should've been included, bad oversight on my part... I included Dave more because I thought it would be interesting for people to see an international artist, not because I thought he was better than either of those groups. I guess I did have that covered with Skepta though.

Good suggestions, definitely all worth checking out.

Very fair criticism, I think when I was putting this together I went the mainstream route because I wanted to get broad appeal from people who had never even given the genre a chance, but thinking more about it your suggestions make a lot of sense (i.e. moving through different periods).
