I'll probably wont get much replies but here's a thread for y'all to discuss your favourite rappers and hip hop artists.
List of Artists I listen to (In no particular order) :

• 2Pac/Tupac Shakur
• RZA
• Wu Tang Clan
• MF Doom
• Ice Cube
• N.W.A
• Snoop Dogg/Lion
• The Notorious B.I.G/Biggie Smalls
• Eazy E
• Slim Shady/Eminem
• Nas

Lyrics can be just as important, what sounds good to someone in one country can sound completely different to someone that understands them. For example, I listen to Superme NTM but my french friend hates them cause he understands their lyrics and thinks their songs are bad, but i likt hem even without understanding, but thats just what ive observed.

Ive started to listen to Mos Def, Coolio, A$AP Rocky, Coo Coo Cal and Grandmaster flash, as well as De La Soul, Deltron 3030, Deltron.Zero, Dre, and ODB.
