Hard to pick one but, Big Daddy Kane, anything Dj Premire produced/remixed, Big Pun, Eazy E, Gang Starr etc... My favorirte is prolly eazy e because I grew up with it.

I'd have to say Dr. Dre and Eminem

Guess it would be the one on Dälek

Ok i don't listen to rap (at all) excapt that 2pac had one song that i kind of liked, Changes so i guess you could say 2pac. But I would hardly say I could pick a favorite... heck you could hardly say there are any i like. But each to there own i always say.

good choice. one of my close friends from high school just revealed himself to be a dedicated kayne west fan while i was visiting him over spring break and recently told me that west was the best "overall artist of the rap or hip hop genre since the creation of the genre". needless to say, he was ridiculed to the point of infuriation, but i cant comprehend picking kanye over so many other completely deserving artists.

I think Kanye is Mainstream Raps equivalent to Mainstream Metals Opeth. The artist with the "deep" meanings.. I can't say really because Kanye West is a hoser

Just listened to Dalek's Absence, this guy knows how to make music!
Other good albums are J Dilla's Donuts and Madvillain's Madvillainy.

Maybe it's just 'cause I'm older than most of the other folks posting here, but my favorites are more old-school:

Public Enemy: Intelligent, socially conscious music. Flava Flav can get a little tiresome, but Chuck D is a master. Listening to Public Enemy is like watching a Spike Lee movie - I may not agree with it all, but it certainly gets me thinking.

Boogie Down Productions / KRS One: Intelligent and thoughtful. KRS One is also very much in tune with African American history and with urban issues. He has even written a book on philosophy, and he has never taken the commercially more viable path if it meant compromising his musical vision.

Ice-T: Uncompromising in his belief that good music is good music, no matter what genre. He is a big fan of rock music, and has a hard rock side project called Body Count. He also has something deep to say, which is unfortunately often missed in the controversy that surrounds his music. The song "Cop Killer" generated so much backlash that no one ever really bothered to notice that it was a protest song about cops and the ease with which their power can be abused, especially in the inner city. The album "Original Gangster" is highly recommended.

Digible Planets: True Jazz + Hip Hop = Really Cool

Yeah man, Premier is an amazing producer, and so Is gangstar. I love their song "Ex Girl to next girl." They have alot of other good shit too. Classic hip hop.

I used to listen to some rappers before turning to metal....i guess Jay-Z had some creativity....i usually go to u Youtube to watch in case he released something new or Feat. in it

I rarely listen to hiphop or rap but i tend to like Dj Shadow quite a bit.

B.I.G. of course! told it how it is....i like the roots and lupe fiasco as well

mad and stupid and blah blah.

Lol at the both of you.

I would say D12 and Vanilla Ice, his later stuff is very good. In 1998, VI released a rapcore album which isn't bad at all. Here's my favorite song of his, from his 2005 release Platinium Underground, which I recommend to all:

As far as MC's go, I'd say the GZA. I mean seriously....listen to Liquid Swords. NOBODY has got shit on GZA as far as lyrics go.


...except maybe Raekwon, Ghostface or Dr. Octagon/Kool Keith.

You listen to Def Leppard. You are in no place to call other music crap.

P.S. - Not everyone here is a metalhead and narrow minded asshats like you are part of the reason I wouldn't want to be lumped in the same category as metalheads.

Current favourite is DEFINITELY La Coka Nostra. These guys are fucking awesome.

I mean, come on. They're white, probably rich, but they rap like drugged-up gangsta bank robbers. It's completely over the top. Only a few political (politics in rap = bullshit) lines, emphasis on GUN IN YOUR MOUTH type of lyrics. Awe-fucking-some.

Seriously, their album "A Brand You Can Trust" is by far my most played album of the past month. No joke.

Rock n' Roll was and is a revolution.(c)rap was never a revolution but a revulsion.I am not narrow minded.I do like country and traditional folk music.

(c)rap is not revolution. (c)rap is not revolution. (c)rap is not revolution. You're failing at mesmerizing us, dude.

You most surely are narrowminded. Nobody is asking you to like rap, we're just asking you to shut the fuck up or maybe even add a little more insight to the topic than "rap is (c)rap revulsion lulz". You are narrowminded because you are writing off an entire genre of music from what is surely minimal exploration.

FYI - The whole "(c)rap" thing isn't clever.
