After eminem it's probably Jay-Z. Lil Wayne might have good lyrics but his voice is crap. Jay-Z has a lot of good songs out there I like his and Kanye's new album too.
I have to agree on Busta Rhymes, he's really awesome with his speed-of-light style of rapping, no one can copy that! =)
But I haven't seen anyone mention Rakim?! How come?! This guy's versatile and on the beat, like it should be done! Just listen to Guess Who's Back? and tell me I'm wrong! =D
And the KING-MC of all is someone everybody forgot as it seems... you know "Ladies Love Cool J", right?! He's done more for the rap industry than any of the others! Straight... =)
Has anyone mentioned Lupe Fiasco? I 'discovered' him a couple of months ago and really rather like his work.

See, now I'm ashamed of myself. I knew I should've included someone other than Nas way back when I first posted in this thread. Indeed, Rakim is awesome.
You're a veritable goldmine of hip hop recs, Mr. Cee. I tend to forget the artists I don't listen to constantly, and my music library really should be indexed because I can't find my way through it.
LL Cool J usually has pretty sweet beats. So yeah, good.

I own a truckload of CD's, but I was so wise to start to alphabetise them a long time ago! Works like a charm! And whenever you're bored, just place your finger at 'A', move right... and stop at a certain point, take out that CD and listen! Always a surprise! =D
And yes, he's the ladies man allright! The beats are a mere way or luring the ladies towards him... better name would have been 'Sneaky-MC' there! LOL
If you want more info on rappers, just have a look at this Wiki article about Rappers in general, loads of info in there!

Doesn't hurt that he doesn't look too bad with his shirt off... :P

If it helps to remind me which artists I actually have in my collection, then sure, I'll give it a read through.
Has anyone mentioned Cypress Hill in this thread? They're probably what I listen to most out of the hip hop genre (and I went to a concert of theirs last year and it was fantastic).
