Same here, it depends; I need to like the character or persona behind the rap.
Most of what Wu-Tang does (in terms of solo artists: Ghostface, mef, GZA). Wu Tang Clan is the perfect rap supergroup because each rapper is very distinctive in style and voice, and everyone brings something different in.
Eminem, MF Doom, the Roots(Black Thought is an insanely talented MC), Nas, Busta Rhymes (when he's not overdoing it), Biggie, Outkast.
But I have a few songs that I like that are by artists I usually dislike, like Lil Wayne or 50 Cent.
