O that too
Lupe's lyrics are pretty beast.

Mike Shinoda, especially as Fort Minor but also in Linkin Park.

You gotta give it to Tupac, he did alot for rap under his short lifetime.

T.I.
Lupe Fiasco
Eminem
Tupac

All of them are mainstream but I have heard Immortal technique and his style is something I really dig.

And how the hell can you put Tupac and Lil Wayne in the same sentence? Nukkas crazeh.

When Lupe's Lasers album come out next month, it'll be all over for the world of mainstream rappers for the rest of the year.

Tupac wasn't really as mainstream as a lot of rappers, a few of his songs were quite clearly mainstream sounding, but he always kept true to original rap in his lyrics, a thing modern day rappers mostly forget.

Keizer,Fresku,Hef,Eminem,Negative,JeBroer

Yeah, that's why people get famous today, because they are the best... O.o

Obviously Hannah Montana is a better singer than Josh Groban because she is more famous. :/

I dunno anything about rap, I don't like what they say. But if the guys you're talking about are the ones I hear on the radio every now and then, and they are the best, then there must be no good ones at all. >.<

Aesop Rock, MF Doom, King Geedorah, Mac Miller, Eminem, Wizz.. and many moree!

It would be irrelevant to state who I thought was the best, so I'll just list who I listen to the most from each side of the States:

West:
Brotha Lynch Hung

South:
Devin The Dude

Midwest:
Tech N9ne

East:
Joe Budden

Much better :P

Lupe fiasco has decent lyrics, i just find his flow a bit boring.

1. Eminem: he speaks about life and not about "the bitches and hoes" and like, i could listen to him rap with no beat because its not about that, its about the words.

2. Lil Wayne: Only because he doesn't write shit down and i respect improv alot.

I cant stand any other rap cause the rest is all about money, power, and "bitches"
