Who cares. Most rappers have ZERO tallent, other than fumbling around the stage in the FVCKING DUMBEST excuse-for-clothing I've ever seen while yelling off-key into a microphone as fast as they can. There are only two exceptions to this: Eminem (because I respect a white rapper) and Beyonce 😀 😀 😀 😛 :beer: Yum. 😀

actually I guess in today's society Beyonce can be considered a rapper. Whenever I hear rap, I think of Biggie/Pac/etc. and not 50 cent/Ludacris and so I'm like, wait, Beyonce, in the same category as those guys? I don't consider 50 cent and co. as rappers so I guess everything is just kinda um, yeah, i'm confused. 50 cent is a hip hop artist, I consider that different then a rapper

 
k well he's not rap, he's not hip hop, I don't really care either way. I"ll continue to listen to my biggie/kurupt songs and be done with it 🙂

I have to kinda agree, he is just another typical rapper who just got lucky enough to have Em and Dre support.

anyway, Em, Luda and early-day Snoop would be on my list (Snoop can't rap for shitzo right now)

I have too many to mention. I enjoy The Wu Tang Clan, everyone in it. I was just re-listening to RZA's Liquid Swords. OMG that song is just harmony to my ears. The beat is awesome. I never used to like real "Hip-Hop" music until a few years ago.

isn't liquid swordz GZA's? I realize that rza produced it and all, but it's gza's song and album (though, personally, I think "beneath the surface" was much better).

Listen to Mos Def - "New World Water" and Canibus - "Poet Laureate II" and Binary Star - "Hiphop Expression". Then come back and tell me rappers have no talent.

If you find out, let me know. I don't think I should be here seeing as how rap is not music, but I am not sure.

Most rappers have zero talent? Please, you're completely disillusioned. It takes great skill to rap with proper cadence and flow. You have no sense of how hard it is to rap well.

Sorry, I just don't consider yelling/talking to a rhythm any sort of skill at all. I would be astounded if more than 20% of the "professional" rappers out there actually knew how to play an instrument or had any clue about the apreciation of music with regard to structure, reading notes on a page while playing an instrument, composure (other than rhythm), etc. I can respect rappers who actually sing or write music instead of act like human beaboxes. The entire persona bragging about being an extreme druggie, killer, and pimp is such a turn off to me.

If that's what you're looking for, I recommend: Mikah 9 and Busdriver.

Excertp from an interview with Busdriver:
What if I called it a kind of jazz? Is that too corny?

A lot of bebop jazz, a lot of the vocalese stuff like Jon Hendricks and Eddie Jefferson and King Pleasure, those are my main influences, as it turns out. The very hip-hoppy stuff I do is akin to the vocalese/bebop jazz thing. And a lot of folk blues, a lot of Robert Johnson. But I like Built To Spill ? I like lyrics. I like the sound of words. I like the shape of words when they?re spoken. I like the connotative weight, you know, how you put a combination of words together and the kind of weight that they have.



I like the way you use your voice and words like a musical instrument. You make with the laffs on your records, but your choice of words is important, because you deal in tonality and it?s got to fit musically.

Sometimes it?s hard to convey tones. That?s the challenge; it?s a lot going on trying to match rhythm patterns with rhyme schemes, matching your words with the tone you?re trying to hit. You definitely have to be conscious of cadence when you?re trying to tailor your rhyme to the music. That?s what I pulled from the jazz guys, and that?s what I?m coming from.

Mikah 9, on the other hand, has a similar style of Busdriver, but includes singing, scatting, and whistling in his music.
 
dont have a favorite, but i have a few that i enjoy listening to, so in no particular order...

nas, em, talib kweli, mos def, big boi (from outkast), black thought (from the roots), main flow, louis logic, aesop rock, method man, redman, common, 2pac, b-real (from cypress hill), zack de la roacha
