20 Songs You'd Swear Were Done By Somebody Else

Here's a mix taken straight from the B.I.B.L.E. of Hip-Hop, "Ego Trip's Book of Rap List". I got it from the list "20 Songs You'd Swear Were Done By Somebody Else" which are tracks done by not-so famous(mostly underground) rappers who have a similar voice, flow, or vibe that resemble to those of more-famous rappers. It looks like some were trying to gain fame by imitating them, as in some tracks you can't even tell the difference! The tracks are still enjoyable to listen to so don't sleep!
