Favorite Rapper/Hip Hop Artist

[Dzapper]

Well I saw the favorite Band thread and I decided to see what kind of rappers you guys listen to. Anyway my favorite rapper is Lupe Fiasco, he has a lot of purpose to his lyrics and is probably the most inspirational MC in the game today. Plus he uses a higher level of vocabulary than most rappers.(Side note:I saw a word Lupe used on the SAT, Emaculate)

Weird Al Yankovic :lol:

LOL! However he did show a pretty good flow in that parody of Chamillionaire's "Ridin Dirty". He actually isn't half bad, but I don't consider him a rapper. Very funny though:lol: :lol:

Yeah, I think after "The Massacre" 50 cent died. Which is sorta symbolic considering it was a massacre on his career.

Kayne West hands down, the only rap/hip-hop artist I actually listen to.

I believe a lot of people will say Kanye West, because even though he is a hip-hop artist at heart, he takes a lot of influence from rock music and classic jazz in his beats and melodies.

Kanye West, though not necessarily "hands down" for me. I still listen to Eminem's Greatest Hits album to this day, along with a few songs from Lil Wayne and P. Diddy on my iPod's Most Played playlist. Usually anything Timbaland helps build is pretty good, too.

I like rap, but I have a really hard time finding consistent artists that put together albums that are good from start to finish (Kanye West's last album probably being the only "full" album I sorta enjoyed). Most of the time I just enjoy 1 or 2 tracks, then the rest of the album is pretty much trash. I especially have a dislike for those that must put "skits" on their cd's just to fill up space.

Ludacris..

>_> <_<

 

[Axtlar]

Eminem is the true rapper here, since almost every other rapper just says "oh" "what?!" "ok!" instead of actually talking/singing, that or they do it too slow.

 

[Pikachu256]

I like "Chuckie Akenz" or "Andree Right Hand" =]

 

[Byuakuya]

J-Pop: Koda Kumi or Boa Kwon.
