Favourite hip-hop artists and why?
I love hip-hop especially when effort is put into things like the lyrics, production and concepts, and just out of curiosity was wondering what other people like about certain rappers
1. Eminem - Lyrics are insane, can paint a picture, inspirational, relatable, can produce own beats which is rare
2. Kanye - Sick lyrics, great producer, proves you don't have to be from a certain background to do rap. People criticize him for voicing his opinion yet complain about how rappers nowadays will compromise what they say to sell records - Not Kanye
3. 2Pac - Great background to his songs, the emotions he put into lyrics is amazing and could paint a picture, great work ethic as well
4. B.o.B - Lyrics are insane, amazing producer, he was such a breath of fresh air when he came out
5. Ice Cube - A pioneer of rap, great lyrics and was amazing how he could write great records for other rappers
These are just some of my favourites and why, I also like;
Jay - Z
Kendrick Lamar
Dre
Eazy - E
Royce Da 59
D12
Slaughterhouse
NWA
Xzibi
Nas
Snoop
Game
Some of the new guys I like;
Big Sean
Drake
Tyler, the Creator is alright as well
I'm not a big fan of Macklemore, 2 Chainz
Sorry for the length...just a massive Rap fan

Biggie Smalls: In my opinion the most talented rapper ever. All his raps tell a story and his flow is second to none. He only dropped a few albums before getting killed. Got a story to tell, ready to die, juicy, hypnotize
Chance the Rapper: He's so different with his lyrics and style. He's one of my favorite rappers by far and hes young and just getting into the game. His acid rap work was fire.. Check out: Nana, favorite song, smoke again
Childish Gambino: Reminds me a lot like kanye. He just dropped Because the Internet and that album is amazing. He is an amazing lyricalist. His beats are dope and different. Listen to: 3005, sweatpants, Worst Guys
Ab soul: He's in kendricks crew and he's almost as talented. He has great lyrics and he's chill. Another break out artist. Check out: TDE cypher, gone insane, terroist threats
Kid cudi: He's by far my favorite artists. He has trippy spacey feeling songs. He's the chillest rapper to vibe out to and I love almost everything he makes. Check out: The prayer, mojo so dope, cold blooded, down and out, up up and away, cudder is back.
MGK: He's raps agressively and fast, but his rhymes are great and he'll diss anyone. Check out: Breaking news, invincible, mind of a stoner
Logic: He's a young rapper, who has a ton of skill and potential. His rhymes flow amazing and he doesn't have many flaws. He actually has meaning in his songs and he's breaking out right now. Listen to: Numbers, Mind of Logic, Man of the Year
Joey Bada$$: He's young and I kinda consider him the same as logic. A popular young rapper with great flow and a lot of potential. He's like 18 yet and some of his rhymes are so dirty. My yout, Survival Tactics, Unorthodox.
Schoolboy Q: He's in the same group as Ab-Soul. He's breaking out right now with oxymorone which leaked this past week. He's very talented and has a few hits like Hands on the wheel, Collard Greens and There He Go

Who I think is winning in the game and I listen to: Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt. Cause lyrically it's ironic but creative in the own unique style. Drake...Lil wayne and them sound all the same and lyrically they don't talk about much ****. Just saying.
