4. Dead Prez
5. NWA
6. Mos Def
7. Tupac
8. Eminem
9. Mac Dre
10. Ice Cube
Cant really think of some of the others I like more than 5-10 but as far as Im concerned Rap is an art form just as poetry or any other type of music is, and anyone who doesn't have an open mind to it is obviously close-minded... I like all types of music be it classical to rock to (some) country to a little techno influenced or latino rap all the way back to my personal favorite Reggae, Peter Tosh and Bob Marley are the 2 greatest musicians to have ever lived imho.
Only good artists I heard on the 2 other lists were Eminem and Ice Cube and they're good compared to most of the mainstream garbage but when you compare to actual content there's no comparison whatsoever.
Hope my list can inspire some of you guys to go out and listen to some real music for a change!
