If those are all the rappers you listed, you know NOTHING about rap/hip hop. There is no best kind of music, I listen to lots of different genres and happen to also like hip hop. Other people might not.

This list needs: Nas, Canibus, Kool G Rap, Rakim, Talib Kweli, Jeru the Damaja, Guru, Notorious BIG, Big L, Pac, GZA, Mos Def, KRS1, Common, Ras Kass, Pharaohe Monch, Andre 3000, Killah Priest, Redman, Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z, Big Pun, AZ, Lauryn Hill, Black Thought, Cormega, Inspectah Deck, O.C., Prodigy, Kurupt, Ghostface Killah, Del the funky homosapien, Masta Ace, Lord Finesse, Slick Rick, LL Cool J, Scarface, Chuck D, Aceyalone, MC Juice, Supernatural, Immortal Technique, MC Ren, Royce Da 5'9, Buckshot, MF Doom, Elzhi, Gift of Gab, Chino XL, Biz Markie, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, Kool Moe Dee, Raekwon, MC Lyte, and I know I'm missing some.

You fail OP

Agree.

Tupac - All Eyez On Me : Incredible
Nas - Illmatic : Great
Dead Prez - RBG : Solid
Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer : Classic

Of all of your choices I had to choose Dre. Chronic(original) was good, but nothing compared to the classics.
 
Where are the rest of the talented rappers?

Jay Z
NAS
Pete Rock
Del
Wu Tang
Mobb Deep
Black Moon
...the list goes on

It seems your list is biased to the West Coast
 
ps I think Ice Cube is the weakest of your list

I didn't vote due to lack of choices.
 
Of your list I picked Eminem, but you're missing a lot. Just look at DaTT's list for example. How could you forgot Biggie Smalls?

The only good rappers are the dead ones. Counter productive to our culture, IMO.

Very original. Think that up all on your own?

Of course it's counterproductive to our culture. So is MTV, Pepsi, reality TV, guns, heavy metal music, pop music, Cheetos, fast food, etc etc etc. Need I go on? If you're going to bash the negative elements of our society at least be consistent.

You know what's corrosive to our culture? Mediocrity. You can't find any good in rap because you haven't looked. If you can't find a single good thing in ANY genre of music, it's because you haven't looked.
