Those guys actually lived the streets and weren't in the entertainment business as young teens like guys like Drake and Wayne.

I have an appreciation for real rhymers... i appreciate lyrics, flow, rhyme schemes, etc. I don't wanna sit through a verse to wait for the chorus, i like being excited for the verse. I don't want to always dance to a rap song, i wanna jam to it and appreciate it.

Any newer guys who are lyrical, please suggest. Always looking for good stuff out there. It'll just never be mainstream and I understand why and I'm cool with that.
Check out the artists on the Anticon label and Busdriver. They'll never be popular, but their talent is legit.

Some of my favorite tracks in general:

Themselves - It's Them


Deep Puddle Dynamics - I Am Hip-Hop


Alias - Angel Of Solitude


Busdriver - Imaginary Places


Sage Francis feat. Sole - I Apologize


Mos Def - Mathematics
