Seriously though, are there any currently active rappers worth listening to? I like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest c.1996 but I'm not enjoying modern rap whatsoever - it's trash! Isn't it?

They are few and far between but they're out there. As far as mainstream stuff I really like A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar excluding their awful singles like "Fucking Problems". When Lupe Fiasco isn't trying to appeal to teenage girls he is amazing. Before Earl Sweatshirt got with Odd Future he spat straight fire, check out deerskin by sly tendencies(earls' former name). J Cole, Domo Genisis and Curren$y are also worth checking out. Good rap/hip hop is hard to find and when you do come across someone talented, most of the time only half of their songs are good.

Despite having alot of truely awful songs, Lupe Fiasco is my current favorite. Songs like "Put You On Game" and " Lamborghini Angels" make up for all the other bullshit he puts out, his flow is outta this world. Earl Sweatshirt is also high on the list although he seems to be losing talent with every album. J Cole has a killer flow accompanied by some impressive word play but struggles with his execution. Hmmm.....Domo Genisis is also up there and of course there is A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar. There was an extremely talented young man named "Dolla" who I believe would be the king if he hadn't passed in 2009 at the age of 22. Lastly there was Big L who like Dolla was so beyond his time that he would no doubt be runnin shit if he was still with us. R.I.P

I like J dilla alright, he made for a better producer than rapper. Dolla was signed to convict music and was based out of atlanta. Check out "The Miseducation of Dolla" the mixtape released after his death. Dude had some real talent but never got the chance to make it big. Listen to his version of A Rainy Night in Georgia. It is far from his best work but he basically predicts his own death and is shot 3 days later. Some of his earlier stuff wasn't great but considering his young age when he recorded "miseducation" it is clear that he would be shiting on most rappers if he was still with us.

yeah Dolla had a really smooth flow. Not necessarily anything groundbreaking, but he did what he did really good.

out of all the one-off dance hits that came out of rap music over the past 15 years (songs like Laffy Taffy, Shoulder Lean, Pop Lock & Drop It, Teach me how to Dougie, you know the type I'm talking about) I would have to say Walk It Out by DJ Unk was probably the hottest

shufled onto my ipod the other day, still hot. I mean the lyrics are as generic as ever, but I tuned them out a long time ago

 
lol youre so hung up on that

it's not really as prevalent as you make it out to be
 
autotune is a fucking abomination, i think people should be shot in the face for using it

there literally are no circumstances where its use is acceptable, regardless of genre

Yeah a lot more than there ever was... you just need to be willing to dig for it. You're not going to find anything good in mainstream.. but it's like that with any genre

Subotai is part of the reason there is so much shitty hip hop these days, every song he posts is absolute shit. Problem is my generation is a bunch of retards on adhd medication and can only focus on the beat of a song, and cool sound effects get them excited. they don't care about lyrics

even if you don't like rap, I doubt you would dislike this song
this is how rap is suppose to sound
