There's some seriously ill cats out there only that they are underground,these guys would make supernatural and immortal teks look like starters.But to answer you,as far as mainstream hiphop goes i'd say kanye west takes it for me,other than 808s and heart breaks i've kinda liked almost everything that he's done.But I also have to add that lil wayne is a fag and i honestly think he just got lucky,bruno and ryan seacrest somehow think that he's the illest so...

[momassalha]

for me 50 cent and eminem .

[Ronnie Coleman]

Lord Quas is interesting.

The Game, Luda, also some underground WC rappers like Ya Boy and Tha Vill.

Rap defintely changed. Now it is all autotune,How much $ they have,cars, basically club rap crap.

Recently I have been listening to The Game,Kid Cudi,JayZ and Nas. Did not like Eminem's last album at all. The Only good songs were the bonus tracks but still one of the best Mc's. Lil wayne gets on my nerves but can't knock him as he know how to market himself, his music. Lil Wayne and Kanye West should form a group

Older songs
Tupac and Big Of course.
AZ,Cormega,Tragedy Khadafi,CNN,Mobb Deep,The Fugees,Snoop,DR.Dre,The Wu Tang Clan, Big Pun and big L. Too many
