Pretty much anthing hop hip/rap, but what stands out to me are the lyrics and being a rapper myself its awsome listening to other hip hop artist that has a story line when rapping " luv the topic"

Great lyrics and flow. I rap myself and since i started rapping i definitely have a different view on music. Yeah, some stuff you sounds good at a party or ill listen to something and be like "that sounds cool." But i dont have the same respect for it that I have for old school stuff. By that I mean guys like Nas... Very creative rhyme schemes, diversity and creativity in the tracks. If a hook n chorus is all you got then you don't got much...

Favorite rappers are Nas whos definetly the greatest of all time in my opinion.. Wu Tang because the great flows and the grimey street lyrics (favorites are Meth and Raekwon). Biggie cause nobody else makes gangsta party songs (other than Pac but I never liked him as much, i like the east coast style more). I also like Big L (awesome quotables and punchlines), and I'll always have respect for Eminem, I just think his talent level is off the charts. Only guy talent wise I think that really can match Nas.

Nas isn't old school.

To me he is. 90s old school.

The rap / hip-hop I prefer is of the abstract variety - I like my rap intelligent, love peculiar time signatures, excellent production, and the like.

Pretty much 85% of the rap I listen to is Eminem, the other is more upbeat, catchy stuff.

Well, I'm in Houston. So Chop N Screw is still pretty big down here. And I do jam to Screw sometimes. But overall, I'd say a good 70% of what I listen to is older school stuff. 90s classics like Wu-Tang, Biggie, etc. Also really love The Golden Age. Slick Rick gets quite a few spins in my car. I do love my underground stuff, however. And like ThePhanastasio, I like more abstract / intelligent stuff.

i know i will get killed for this, but whatever.

i like mainstream stuff somewhere in the middle of laid back and in-your-face WITH A MESSAGE. Im not usually a fan of killing raps or whatever (although i will admit to liking a couple kill raps), but i really love it when the rapper puts some of his life into the lyrics.

Gangsta rap like Dr. Dre. Snoop Dogg. Cypress Hill

the 2 most listened to rap artists for me are Lil Wayne and Vinnie Paz
