I can't believe how popular Lil Wayne is. I don't even understand what he's talking about most the time. Honestly, I'd rather listen to R&B, than to alot of the wack rappers out now. There's no more talent, everyone is looking for a quick buck. I'm sick of hearing how much money you have, how big your rims are, and how your gonna take my beech in the club. I miss the days when rappers had stories to tell, and stuff to actually rap about.
A couple of my favorites were/are:
Gangstarr
A Tribe Called Quest
D.I.T.C
Wu Tang
EPMD
Big L
Big Pun
Tragedy Khadafi
Common(original common sense)
Talib Kwali
Mos Def
Pharoah Monch
Joell Ortiz(one of the only new rappers I like)
Ice Cube
Dr. Dre
Eminem(you need to here some of his underground stuff)
Dilated Peoples
ect......
