Who have you heard of/liked, it's probably easier to go off of that.

The last Clipse album was amazing seriously over looked. Right now Rick Ross is my favorite rapper out.

Wacka Flocka Flame

Wakka is a beast he is like a mix of Master P and Lil John.... can't rap much but makes you want to smack someone for living.

Plies has always been really funny.

I like Shad. He's too nice to ever really cut into mainstream charts, but he does the "ordinary dude" thing okay without being too socially conscious/preachy

Can we talk Drake for a sec? Why does no one seem to by bother by the fact that:

A) He was raised by his Jewish mom in Toronto, but drawls like Weezy F Baby.
B) He seems incapable of joy.

Because he wants this **** forever, mayne.

(I don't get the Drake thing, either)

Also, I don't know half the guys people are talking about here, but I really like Wale.

Yes. I like it. I like anything that has tuned drums, apparently.
