My favorite would have to be the hip/trip-hop genre simply because the experimentation is endless and you can do things lyrically that you really can't do with other forms of music. I prefer the more solid imagery of rappers like Mos Def and Nas to the abstract lyrics of Tom Yorke (although Radiohead is one of my favorite bands). Also, with trip-hop, you can really combine different sounds to form a single, unified, unique song which I think is cool.
Fav artists would be:
Mos Def
Nas
Lupe Fiasco
A Tribe Called Quest
Fugees
Portishead
Morcheeba
Massive Attack
Gorillaz
