>I listen to rap

Nas

Earl Sweatshirt or Andre 3000

Not many of them are very good, realistically speaking. I think a lot of rappers who write about things other than the typical trash are overly praised simply because of how oversaturated the genre is with trite bullshit

Kanye

Outkast is objectively the best rap group ever

Andre3000 in my opinion.

Pharoe Monch
Andre 3000
GZA

One of these three imo.

hiphop needs a containment thread

to the stars says he doesn't like me but i mean i can't say i'm surprised why would he. i mean the gift he's saying he's giving to me isn't something i asked for. that's him. and he'll get the glory. cause he's doing him. and i support him. still a fan. i dont need him to like me. i'll make him love me.

aesop rock.....

I drink Moët with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale

Roc Marciano by far

Neil Young

billy woods no contest

kendrick is so #WOKE am i right f a m

I can't pick a favorite desu

Andre 3000
Nas
MF DOOM
Rakim
J.Cole
Kendrick
Eminem
Big L

and of course my niggas Biggie and Tupac. That's without even mentioning the members of my two favorite rap collectives (Wu-Tang & Tribe Called Quest)

>J Cole, Eminem, Kendrick
>Among Andre, Rakim, Nas, MF DOOM

Get your fucking ears checked

Eminem's early shit like Marshal Mathers LP & Slim Shady LP are pure lyrical fire wtf are you talking about. Cole & Kendrick also released 3 lyrically dense albums back to back. They may not be the same caliber to you can see why I'm putting them in the same list.

...

Snow

Lupe

Honestly...

Ice Cube

I can't choose

Andre 3K
Big L
Childish Gambino
Danny Brown
Earl
J. Cole
Kendrick
Lupe
Nas
MF DOOM

I guess Tyler wouldn't be considered top tier, imo, but with ScumFuck Flowerboy I definitely respect him as a lyricist and will put him up there if he continues and jacks up with his rhymes, metaphors, and punchlines.

This.

>Early Lupe
>MF DOOM
>Danny Brown

You mean a tribe called quest

No I don't.

Redpill me on Lupe Fiasco and Roc Marciano.

When the fuck is his new album coming out?

I SHOULD MAYBE SHAKE SOME HANDS
I SHOULD TURN THE MUSIC DOWN
HAVE SOME PEOPLE OVER WITHOUT ASKING THEM TO MOVE A COUCH
but since you're here I've got this awful futon I could do without

should take like 2 seconds

Roc is hard as fuck. His lyrics make you do that "oh shit" laugh, everytime.
