Don't just post your list and not try to engage in the topic. Comment upon other lists, ask questions, maybe get put-on to artists you haven't heard before. In other words, make this a real topic instead of a bland posting of lists with no feedback and discussion.

good shit. fyi i was genuinely asking, cause my knowledge on hip hop outside of a handful of old skool artists is pretty limited.

[fsvr54]

All good my bro. I'm here to spread the wealth, check out at artist or two from my list if you'd like. It could lead down musical rabbit holes.

Not really rap but some of the British MCs drop some bangers.

I made a pretty general list of some favorites from the 2010s (obviously glossed over a lot), let me know what you think. I don't generally listen to "playlists", I just put on what I feel like listening to.

[fsvr54]

Twista
Esham
Kool G Rap

Very nice, Kool G is THAT dude. Esham from NATAS? Underrated pick, I see you! Pioneer of "horror rap".

[DoctorP]

any list given is low IQ.

you can't rate music in any systematic way that makes sense to me except for commercial success or how many meaningless bourgeoius awards are given to it which I find superfluous at best anyways.

Rappers Ive liked anyways:
Snoop Dogg
Biggie
MF Doom
Mos Def
Ice Cube
GZA
KRS One
Cage
Rakim
Nas
