Walrus487: Favorite Rappers That Are Alive

bloc 06.04.09	ice cube, darn you
MassiveAttack 06.04.09	9 and 10 make me cringe. +For Nas, Mos Def though =)
Knott- 06.04.09	2PAC
myhigherpie 06.04.09	1 & 2 lololol.
MassiveAttack 06.04.09	I can only handle 2Pac in small doses though. Since most of his albums aren't that great overall. Me Against The World is his best though =)
cirq 06.04.09	10 HAS to be a joke... You need to get into REAL hip hop.. Underground shits on mainstream
Walrus487 06.04.09	What's some other good stuff then?
cirq 06.04.09	Aesop rock (any def jux artist), mf doom, black star (mos def and talib kweli)
illmitch 06.04.09	Underground hip hop is overrated. There are plenty of mainstream artists I prefer to most of the underground rappers you listed. Def Jux is pretty poor quality I think. To the author of the list: You owe it to yourself to check out UGK (RIP Pimp C) and old Three 6 Mafia. I recommend the albums Ridin' Dirty and The End by each artist. Cam'ron is another one of my favorite rappers. I recommend the album Purple Haze.
illmitch 06.04.09	BTW, kudos for including Weezy on here. He's overrated in general but supremely underrated on this site. Despite his recent musical turds, I still really like tha Carter III, tha Carter II, and most of his mixtapes.
Streetvulture 06.04.09	Chamillionaire's Ultimate Victory
illmitch 06.04.09	chamillionaire is tight. I haven't gotten as much into him as I have other southern rappers, though.
Streetvulture 06.04.09	Yeah I used to go around hating mainstream hip hop for no reason other than I thought it was cool. Then I got my act together and that album really impressed me
illmitch 06.04.09	same here. except the album that converged me was UGK - Underground Kingz
Streetvulture 06.04.09	sorry to say I've never heard it
illmitch 06.04.09	WOAH. You should get it as soon as you can.
Blindsided 06.04.09	List fails.
Streetvulture 06.04.09	alright will do, cheers
Avirov 06.04.09	There's typo in the description, you said 'good rappers'.
Streetvulture 06.04.09	a lot of them are. 10 is one of the worst things to happen to the genre though
cirq 06.04.09	Lol @ Avirov
mvdu 06.04.09	I'm not a rap fan (I just rated a slew of albums and very few rap albums among them due to my bias there,) but Eminem and Kanye West are ones I can tolerate. So I vote for them.
