RE:

There is no such thing as a "good" rapper. As for rap "songs", well they aren't really songs. Rapping is just talking and is a slippery way of entering show business if you don't have any musical talent, but want to be up there anyway. If you can't read music, can't sing a musical scale, can't play a musical instrument you just have to declare yourself as a rapper. No experience or talent is required.

Don't be mad at me, ask any rapper to sing a musical scale for you.....that's what I thought.

Try Slaughterhouse they are signed to Shady and have some decent new rappers, Joe Budda, Royce da 5'9, Crooked I, and Joell Oritz

Ignore the answers already if you want to listen to good rap.

Check out Kendrick Lamars new album thats pretty good. The one MC from Seattle...ugh i cant remember his name... i think starts with an M...came out with a really good album i heard the other day, sorry i cant help you with him

EDIT: I think his name is macklemore or something like that

rick ross- Diced Pineapples (Explicit) ft. Wale, Drake

lil wayne- steady mobbin

meek mill-Flexin On Em

2 chainz-No Lie (Explicit) ft. Drake, I'm Different

Kanye West - Clique ft. Big Sean & Jay-Z (Explicit)

All depends on what kind of rap you're into? I'll link a dope, somewhat known rapper for each type of style I can think of & if you're feeling it just check out more of their stuff.

Will.i.am, Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Lil Wayne.

Nicki Minaj is the best.

T.I. has his new album coming out in a couple of days and that should be excellent. A few of the songs have already been released.

Ok, Tip (T.I.) is releasing "Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head" on Dec 18th and it will easily be one of the best albums of the year! Also I just picked up the new Slaughterhouse album "Welcome To Our House" and lemme tell ya, this album has been on replay since I bought it, it's that good!

Tip and Slaughterhouse are amazing!

G.O.O.D Music's "Cruel Summer" also goes ham, one of the best of 2012....lemme just give you a list

Top Albums of 2012:

--"Trouble Man" -- Tip

--"Welcome To Our House" -- Slaughterhouse

--"Cruel Summer" -- G.O.O.D Music

--"good kid, mAAd city" -- Kendrick Lamar

--"Based On A TRU Story" -- 2Chainz (only a few of the songs are purchase worthy, imo)

--"Strange Clouds" -- B.o.B (this is an amazing album as well!)
