Ya well there was only one thread that popped up and it was like 2 years old...lots of new people have come out since then so I thought I would start up another little opinion thread. Chill man.

Anyway for me I gotta say it would be Dre and Nas, also really like CunninLynguists, AZ, Z-Ro and a few others.

Talib Kweli is the perfection of rap, in my opinion. I Try makes me cream every time.
The Roots are fucking amazing, listen to their live version of Adrenaline if you don't believe me.
Immortal Technique isn't one of my favorites, but I respect the hell outta them... they're good, just the lyrics are too raw... Dance with the Devil is haggard. Point of No Return and Industrial Revolution are pimp, though.
Then of course your standards like 2Pac, Biggie, and Nas.

I say Kweli is better than just for being socially conscious... in my opinion he is he perfection of rap. Sticks to the beat so well, amazing voice, such good rhythms.. can't get enough of his shit.

Immortal Technique is one guy,not a group. I know what you mean though, he is pretty raw at times but listen to Leaving the Past and your opinion will change

I'd say Atmosphere or Kanye West. They've both got great "feel" in their music.

jay-z by no means sucks...just because he went mainstream and made mad bank doesn't mean hes a bad rapper. Just listen to reasonable doubt, shit is up there as a classic.
