Posted February 4, 20187 yr Anyone whose voice or sound you generally go for or follow more than most others. Starting us off, one of mine would be Rick Ross.
February 4, 20187 yr I’ve always had a soft spot for Kanye :wub: And of course Kendrick & Eminem but less so as the years go by and his albums declin (for Em). Edited February 4, 20187 yr by Dexton
February 4, 20187 yr Too many to mention, but I always liked Wretch 32 more than anyone else I knew... he had such a cool sounding voice and generally solid, thought-provoking and infectious lyrics.
February 5, 20187 yr I'm generally more interested in female rappers than male, so Nicki and Iggy would be my favourites by quite some way. Whilst I respect they are legendary, I'm not here at all for Eminem, Kanye, etc. Plus ofc Mr Worldwide himself *.*
February 5, 20187 yr The ones in my last.fm top 50 are: 10 Nicki Minaj 21 Azealia Banks 25 Example (if you count him) 28 will.i.am (same again) 45 Kanye West 46 Drake 48 Iggy Azalea 49 Macklemore definitely getting into rap more recently in the last couple years - Kendrick and BROCKHAMPTON are favourites of mine at the moment. I've grown to appreciate Eminem and his older hits (latest album material hasn't been particularly good) as well as Stormzy and I still have soft spots for the likes of Pitbull and Sean Paul :heart: I think Kanye and Drake are my favourite two with perhaps Macklemore coming in 3rd? I don't know it's still a genre I'm learning what's to my taste currently!
February 5, 20187 yr in my last.fm top 100 11. Drake 34. Nicki Minaj 45. Kanye West 50. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis 56. will.i.am 70. PSY 80. Pitbull 85. Iggy Azalea 91. Flo Rida 93. Fuse ODG I'd put Drake, Nicki and Kanye a long way ahead of the rest here though. Surprisied Eminem isn't there but that's only since 2012 and his best days are long behind him.
February 5, 20187 yr The ones in my last.fm top 50 are: I just checked mine and the only one in my top 50 (2006-date) is Flo Rida 😂 👀
February 5, 20187 yr Flo Rida would so be in my top 50 if it were 2006-date, he did release some proper bangers back in the day such a shame he suddenly lost it a few years ago.
February 5, 20187 yr Author Out of interest I've checked my lastfm ones too now to find what's in my top 500: 9. Nicki Minaj 23. Azealia Banks 37. Kanye 93. Drake 94. Rae Sremmurd 101. MIA 103. Iggy 113. Eminem 151. Childish Gambino 174. SZA 181. Kreayshawn 234. DJ Khaled 247. Fugees 250. Macklemore 251. Snoop 262. Pitbull 263. Tinie Tempah 265. Missy Elliott 286. Lil Debbie 302.

February 5, 20187 yr Kendrick Lamar Anderson .Paak (if you count him) Run The Jewels Danny Brown The Notorious BIG Q-Tip Jay-Z De La Soul Mobb Deep Run-DMC J Cole 2Pac Loyle Carner Kate Tempest The Streets Ghostpoet Roots Manuva JME Giggs Young Fathers Beastie Boys Some great taste here!!
February 5, 20187 yr Yes to Danny Brown, I think he is far more impressive than Kendrick Lamar but the critics are not in agreement! Also love Kanye West, Q-Tip, Missy Elliott, and even though she did just 1 album (but WHAT an album) Lauryn Hill. Also love Run The Jewels and Young Fathers who have both made some impressive LPs in the past few years. Sorry to say but I don't really enjoy Eminem at all lately, particularly on his recent album - his style is quite aggressive and abrasive to the point where it feels really forced. He was a lot better in the late 90s and early 2000s however.
