In no particular order my favorite artists along with my favorite album.1. Nas - Illmatic2. Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt3. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides4. GZA - Liquid Swords5. Talib Kweli - BlackStarWade23 - Black on Both Sides is my top five album! I used to listen to it like everyday, still is on heavy rotation on mp3 player, but I prefer the BlackStar album alot better. I will always listen to it. I know its not really hiphop, more r&b but Lauryn Hill is defnititley up there on my list of all time.

Go listen to those lyrics and tell me they arent good

I'm just saying no need to say that sh*t because he doesn't listen to the rap for the lyrics or meaning. And if liking someone like Chamillionaire makes me a closet homo I'm sorry that I'm not as cool as you are because I don't listen to rap just for lyrics. Yout ake this to seriously. Will yuo grow up and stop overreacting on something so stupid? Especially calling someone ignorant for not knowign what a hip hop head is because I know more people don't know what that is compared to people who do.
Illmatic is probably the closest thing to perfection, that album alone makes Nas my favourite. From the genesis to it aint hard to tell, the thing keeps you buzzed. One love or memory lane are my favourites.Anyways here is my list1- Nas2- Jay-z3- Common4- The roots5- Talib kweli
Illmatic is the best solo album ever to me, man I bump that album every day. But I think It takes A nation of a million to hold us down is the best album of all time, Public Enemy are the best political rappers ever. BTW, props on Common, hes one of the best out right now and Be is my winner for best album of 2005.
1) Immortal Technique2) Eminem3) Rakim4) Kanye West5) The GameAll these artists have some mainstream, stupid, songs but most of their songs have well-made meanings and don't rap about stupid crap in every song, like drugs, sex, guns, hustling, and the club.Rakim is very, VERY lyrical.Immortal Technique, apparently was a real gangster, however, he doesn't rap about that crap.Eminem is the greatest white rapper of all-time, and one of the greatest and most controversial rappers of all-time, in my books. Kanye is a mystical, spiritual rapper with some great meanings to his songs, I like that.The Game is a great Freestyle artist, and makes a statement everytime he raps. Gotta love that about him.Anyways, for the record, I listen to Metal mainly. But I do listen to some good rap.
