    I've bumped Talib Kwali onto my listening station for the couple of months. Can't get enough of his song, "Get By." It's absolutely one of the best songs, lyrically, I've ever heard.

    I'm 52 and have no idea who is or isn't a good rap artist, but my favorites would be

    Eminem
    Notorious BIG
    Andre 3000
    Snoop Dogg
    Biz Markie

    I of course love RUN DMC as well.

    That's a pretty good list! I don't like Em, but I can't deny his ability to rap.

    It's interesting, when you read interviews with rappers who their favorite rappers are almost all of them mention Talib Kwali. That's why I first started listening to him, Jay Z was just raving about him an interview he gave about the White Album.

    Always loved this song with him and Mary J.

    Life is a beautiful struggle
    People search through the rubble for a suitable hustle
    Some people usin' the noodle, some people usin' the muscle
    Some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle
    Come on, say it now
    Life is a beautiful struggle

    My friends call me "Mr. Classic Rock." Something I do not apologize for with my hipper friends. I am not suprised that I am behind the times when it comes to hip hop. Most of my favorite artists are dead blues guitarists anyway.

    As an MC, all I can say is.... Mr. Wahlberg is a good actor but he isn't THAT good.

    I’m a fan of Wahlberg the actor because he doesn’t seem to take things overly serious......but I was joking about missing his rapper act. By the time I realized it wasn’t a Spinal Tap like take off, he had moved on to greener pastures. Thankfully.......
