    There's some quality UK hip hop artists -

    Lowkey, Phi-Life Cypher, Foreign Beggars, Jehst, Akala and Devlin I would definitely recommend.

    Im the opposite, I like the lyrics. Tupac #1 for me followed by Eminem. Tupac was only around for 5 years and Eminems first 5 years or so when he appeared feels like they told their life stories in that time although Emiems released music for 10-15 years since nothing of much substance in that time compared to his early stuff. I hardly ever listen to Eminem now though compared to Tupac wwhich I do atleast on a weekly basis.

    I do like others but they wouldnt come close to their level.

    English rappers I just find cringeworthy, couldnt listen to it at all their voices/accents go right through me.

    Is that just because he's recent? He's released more records than Biggy and has at least two classics.

    Not a big fan of rap...

    But I'd go for the early, early guys..


    Will Smith ( dj jazzy Jeff & tfp) was around from very early on.
    But..
    Kool Herc , Coke La Rock and Africabambaatta are the guys who started it!
    Influenced by guys like Gill Scott-Heron.

    I'm an old *, so to say drake or Kendrick etc feels like me voting for 1D over Stone Roses. So for me Eazy-E. NWA.Public enemy. De la soul. Tribe called quest is all my bag. Last I was listening to rap properly was DRE
    And Ludacris, dilated peoples. Still love a good tune but today they all seem to bling you and not enough street. But I know that is my old music assed opinion.

    My 16 year old son showed me this yesterday. And at 16 even he thought it was tacky as *. But he knows what I think of Stone Island.

    Kendrick Lamar isn't pish but he's nowhere near the GOAT and it's embarrassing people even mentioning his name in that conversation.

    Rap is so bad nowadays that the better ones are severely overrated.
