i listen to some rap ... but mostly stuff from when biggie and pac were still alive... imo everything started going down hill after that... and nothing good really happened cept for eminem... and th rappers form before who were still doing their thing... oh and 50 cent is ok... at first i started thinkning he was gonna be the next savior of rap... when he came out talkign shit about ja rule for being a poseur as spussy... then 21 questions was released as a single and a video whihc was identical to ja rules put it on me video... i hope 50 takes the road less traveled by many of todays rappers and stays honest doing it his way...

DAmn, i forgot about Pharcyde! Awesome!

Bone Thugs n Harmony, 50 Cent, Eminem, Mo Thugs, Snoop

I used to listen to some rap. Mainly Snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem.
Nowadays i can't stand most of that "bling bling" "up in the club" crap that's out. I CANNOT stand Sean Paul. Or the Big Tymers. or any other artist that's even remotely similar to those two.

Eminem, Snoop, DMX, Busta Rhymes, Atmosphere, Binary Star, Jurassic 5, Anticon, Del the Funky Homosapien, Deltron 3030, Illogic, K Os and on and on

I listen to Eminem, but only in the car. I'm fussy. There's nothing better than driving really fast with "Without Me" on the stereo.

I am also the whitest white girl there is ;)

Roots, Talib Kweli, 2PAC, BTNH, Tribe, Mod Def, Dead Prez, Black Eyed Peas, Public Enemy.

I don't like much mainstream rap, except for DMX. IMO, DMX is the best popular rapper (wonder where he's been lately). He didn't really go into the whole "bitches/money" thing and just flows with such raw power.

And this is coming from the biggest metal-head from the world's most right-winged, retirement community.

Jedi Mind's definatly on top...The runners up:

Aesop Rock, Tupac, Mr. Lif, Bone Thugs, Can-I-Bus, The Roots

If you're gonna make me watch mainstream rap vids, you better give me a loaded gun too. Grrrr

Xzibit
