What are some of you're favourite rappers nowadays?. Not ones releasing albums posthumously, but rappers currently making music.

Kanye west is consistently great. He's not the best MC, but damn if he can't craft on helluva good song. Ludacris (or at least his older stuff) is great, I like what I've heard from Lupe Fiasco. Young Bucks straight outta cashville CD was great. Ghostface Killah is good. Eminem can release some seriously brilliant songs, if only he'd quit with the joke songs. If I think of more I'll post ,em.

I don't know. lil' waynes far from a bad MC, his songs just tend to be so....meh. I wanna hear some more personal stuff from him. Some stuff that seems a little less tailored for mass appeal.

I .. am ok with Kanye?

Otherwise I just don't do rap.
The male ego is way too large in that genre.

I know what you mean, his lyrics aren't great at all, singing about smoking, ****ing, hustling, getting ****ed up...

But his rhythms are on par with late 90's rap, and his beats are ****ing crazy.

Snoop Dog.
When you spend most of your childhood hearing his songs, it does nothing but grow on you.
