I absolutely love that song (I've been playing it on repeat and i'm yet to tire of it!). Before this i also came across 'Who dat' and 'Work it', which are pretty good too but i'm not completely sold on him.
Eminem is still a favorite of mine, him being the breakout star of my childhood. Recently i've really got into Kanye West, Common and Childish Gambino. I must say, for me to listen to rap, i need to be hearing something with a message because the girl chasing stuff doesn't really do it for me.

Have a listen to J.Cole - Lost Ones and see what you think

Which one?
Same here, people who slate rap music wouldn't so much if they looked a little deeper into it!
I've been listening to J Cole and Angel Haze lately too, as well as Immortal Technique and Kendrick Lamar. Though I'm not a fan of Jay Z or Kanye West, I loved their album Watch the Throne.
2Pac, Biggie, Nas, Dr Dre, NWA, all classics. Oh, and Public Enemy of course.
However my most favourite rapper is one majority of people have never heard of - Greydon Square, an unsigned atheist/secular rapper. He promotes science and rational thinking - and hates record labels, lol. Here are a couple of songs by him.

Btw, regarding the hate for hip hop, isn't it against the rules of the forum to trash on an appreciation thread?
if you guys are getting comments which are not in the spirit of this thread, just ask the mods to move the thread to the appreciation forum. either use the "contact us" form with the link at the bottom of the page or use the "alert" button.:)
Ok, maybe i should of put this in the 'music appreciation' forum, i apologise for that.
But if people dis-like rap music so much, why even waste your time posting in 'The Rap/Hip Hop Appreciation' thread anyway? Regardless of where it's situated. It's a thread for those who like Rap music, not a 'what do you think of rap music thread'
Some really great song choices on this thread, nice to appreciation of a brilliant genre. I do love the odd delinquent song/artist (love 50 cent) especially some of his earlier work on 'power of the dollar'. Other than him I listen to Nas, Tupac, Eminem, Game an artist called Zero he's got some beautiful songs, but I could listen to BIggie all day every day. My new faves are J Cole and Kendrik Lemar. Eve's albums let there be Eve is one of my favourites, lil Kim, foxy brown all the ladies of hip hop. Not I repeat NOT Nicki Minaj. When I see her win another hip hop award I get angry inside. I like the odd Jay Z song, Kayne Wests first album is still a classic. My OH is trying to brain wash me with Lil Boosie, I've resisted so far and he's ratchet as all hell but there's a few tunes that I like ssshhh don't tell him!

I'm slowly getting into Kendrick :rolleyes: Been listening to 'B**** don't kill my vibe' all day lol and I'm feeling Poetic Justice, but haven't really listened to him apart from the commercial stuff. Everyone seems to like him though
Kanye West's first album, I agree was his best.. College Dropout right? Also thought Graduation was a really good record for him aswell.

WOW, Sing About Me I'm Dying of Thirst is the best song on the album! Maybe you skipped because you thought 12 minutes so it's overly long but it's REALLY not! Definitely my favourite on the album.:eek::p

Really liking this!
What's happened to DMX? Is he still making music? He seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. The same goes for Ja Rule as well actually.
I love Angel Haze and I can't wait for her album!
Not sure about DMX, but i think Ja Rule is in prison -

From his latest album (2012) I like these.
It flopped apparently.

"Cleaning out my Closet" how many people go in as deep as this?:( Not many could talk about a thing like that happening to them.
