I am starting to develop a taste in Rick Ross. My cousin introduced me to him and I am starting to like his music. Can't believe that I didn't know about him before.

Old school rap is well better
the likes of 2pac, B.I.G, 50 cent, ice cube, easy, dr dre, ect

they were the real rappers

50 Cent is not old school...

Jedi Mind Tricks
Immortal Technique
Planet Asia
Lords of The Underground
R.A The Rugged Man
Common (his oldschool stuff is REALLY good)
Aesop Rock
Optimus Rhyme
Killah Priest
Naughty By Nature
Young Buck (his stuff without 50cent's influence is actually really good)

Good list, but I'm growing tired of JMT's/AOTP's/BiggestWhiteysFromTheUnderground's stuff nowadays. And Vinnie is arguably my favorite rapper. The only ones who seem to keep on evolving are R.A., Ap and the Punchline King himself, Celph Titled. Louis Logic is also very good.

Can't stand Imtech, tries way too much. Diabolic is like his lost twin brother. Great list anyway, imo, nice to see DMX mentioned.

no Gangstarr? no Onyx? *abandon thread*

If you like rap, which I'm guessing you do if you're in this thread have a listen to this guy - If you don't know him, he's one of the best rappers on the UK scene by the name of Mic Righteous. This was performed on Charlie Sloth's show (BBC Radio 1 - Monday from 2-4AM)

Thoughts?

Mic Righteous,Lunar C and English Frank are my favourite British rappers at the minute!
