Soulja boy and Wacka Flocka have left me wondering sometimes, does good present day rap still exist?
I'm hoping for a new Outkast album in the future or at least something from Andre; they're definitely my favorite group ever.
Enlighten me with some new stuff to explore please.

is it so hard for people to look into the underground? i'm assuming by 'good', you mean lyricism mixed with DJ scratching, 'cause that's usually when the consensus on 'good' rap is. what everyone fails to realize is not everyone wants to here lyricism and DJ scratching all the god damn time. which is why there's music to dance to and have a good time to. can you see girls in the club gettin' down to talib? hell no. throw some flocka on. so technically, flocka's 'good' in that situation.
anyway, by your definition of good; check out rawth by nottz raw and asher roth, friday night lights by j.cole, pilot talk 1 & 2 by curren$y, reflection eternal by talib kweli, and listen to some skyzoo.
