Recommend me some good rap artists

I'll give a try Grandmaster Flash, heard many good things about him.

Listening to rap and not being able to understand lyric is kinda pointless, isn't it?
Just asking, I don't listen to rap at all, like really really at all.

I listened "Can a Drummer Get Some" and like only two songs(Let's go and that one with Tecca Nina).

UGK sounds nice, I like that kind of rap. Big KRIT is "swag" type of rapper? Also I'll give a try your recommendations, it looks like you know much about rap.

<3 ytcracker too.

Important to note he's part of the current Humble Music Bundle as well. Pretty good album overall I'd say.,

Nas, KRS One, and Tribe Called Quest off your list are definitely among my favorites (not to say the others aren't good). Those would definitely be my top 3 rap artist that not enough people listen to. Nas at least has some more recent stuff (not as good, imo) but KRS and Tribe completely pre-date a lot of people's rap/hip hop listening.

Outside of your list I would say The Roots are another group that could use some more spins. As do De La Soul/Mos Def, especially if you like Tribe, since a lot of Jazz influence and weird rhymes are common among them.

isee you got some old school groups there including 2pac, but you forgot the group 2pac started with... Digital Underground.

LIK DIS IF U CRIE EVERTIM

Don't really like Madvillain, not my type of music. I listened to J Dilla and Jaylib and don't enjoyed it as much as I expected.

Good joke.

Thought the same but I found one song(literally!) that I like. It's Flobots - Handlebars :)

And this song

Snoop Lion's first single 'La la la'

So tell me what are you listening? Indie rock or metal?

please do not confuse rap and hip-hop

rap used to be handcrafted with care using samplers such as AKAI S-1000, AKAI MPC, SP1200, etc and took time to be made and then post-production like any other style

anyways... sod it... I also apply "good" "rap" and "art" in one sentence as a joke for whatever was released after 1995 (ok, there are a few exceptions)
