BUSTA RHYMES IS TOP 10 OF ALL TIME HIS FLOW IS REDICULOUS
JAY-Z IS IN ANYONES TOP 5 OF ALL TIME, EVEN THE SHITTY RAPPERS YOU LIKE THINK SO
LUDA CAME UP FROM PRETTY MUCH NOTHING AND MAKES GOOD PARTY TUNES
LUPE IS PRETTY ONE DIMENSIONAL HIPSTER SHIT AND WOULD SUCK OFF ANYONE ON THIS LIST FOR RADIO PLAY
NAS IS TOP 5 OF ALL TIME

LISTEN ITS GREAT YOU LIKE HIP HOP THATS MARKETED TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN THE TOP 30 COUNT DOWN ON TV, BUT STILL IF ANYONE PUT THAT SHIT ON AT A PARTY PEOPLE WOULD GET THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE

IM NOT SAYING THE MUSIC YOU LIKE IS BAD, IM JUST SAYING THAT ANYONE YOU THINK IS A GREAT RAPPER PROBABLY JERKS OFF TO JAY Z AND NAS EVERY NIGHT, AND HAS HALF THE HUSTLE OF LUDA OR UGK IN TERMS OF SELLING TAPES OUT THE BACK OF A CAR FOR NOTHING

SO DONT HATE ON SOMEONE JUST BECAUSETHEY HAVE A WIDE APPEAL

I'm not hating on those artists because they have wide appeal, there are several 'mainstream artists' that I think are exceptionally talented however the majority of those artists I don't like.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that you're assuming that I don't like those artists solely based on the fact that they're mainstream - don't put words in my mouth.

Musical taste is relative but Junglist specified that he was "interested in stuff with an underground feel, not necassarily well/over produced."

ALL OF THOSE ARTISTS ARE RAP.

Rap is an element of hip hop. Just like a province is part of a whole country.

and what's wrong with necro?

For the record everyone, gangsta rap is still good, and a lot of commercial rap is dope, stop hating already. The OP might still be into 'underground sounds' but even a lot of 'commercial' or 'gangsta' or 'artists i like to namedrop because it increases my underground hip hop god cred' share a lot of the same producers for fucks sakes, not to mention a lot of the same sounds.
