phi-life cypher
poor righteous teachers..

then again some of the bling bling gansta, i gonna fuk you up stuff is lyrically very good too......kool kieth being an example of this "i dont give a fuk style".....

Dunno if it would fuse well but im sure someone could get it sounding fresh with elements of both in ther.....i dunno, i like both alot but think id still rather hear em seperate.....id still like to hear it done well tho, could be quite a good sound and summin new for the ears...
