Rap
lofin:
Some more good rap artists are The Fugees (The Mask, Fu-gee-la, Ready or Not) and Del the Funky Homosapien (he did Clint Eastwood and Rock Tha House for Gorillaz). Also, most of the solo projects from Fugees are good (Miseducation esp.)
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell everyone to LISTEN TO STEVIE WONDER. "Songs In the Key of Life" is one of the greatest albums of all time. Although not rap, he influenced all rap we hear.

How could I forget the Fugees. Also, I just remembered, pretty much ANY rap track with Vinia Mojica on it is golden. She's this woman with an amazing voice that puts you at ease.
She's on Kweli's - The Blast, Stand to the Side
Mos's - Climb
Black Star's - K.O.S. (these are all tracks I've already listed)
Some De La and Q Tribe tracks too.
Check her out online, she's never released an album but she's a constant performer on slightly left of center rap and R&B albums.
I remember seeing a guide to Vinia Mojica collaborations on Amazon, lost the link though. I heard she kicks ass live too; I'd kill to hear her perform her own music.
Spencer:
The Fugees were incredible, and its a shame that they get overlooked so often. Sorta hard not to considering how much Wyclef and Lauren's solo work outshined the Groups work. It's a shame they don't plan on getting back together. I guess Lauren carries a huge grudge against Wyclef. Scorned lovers and whatnot.
The Miseducation of Lauren Hill was an incredible album. It still has heavy rotation in my playlist.

I know. They both have their extremes.
I was just pointing out that rock has it's share of bad lyrics as well. Just look at anything by Jet or the Vines as examples of stupid rock lyrics.

I don't really count them as rap. Did anyone else think their last record well, kinda sucked? Older = better in this case

Paul's Boutique = classic
I'm glad people here are at least open-minded. Right now I'm listening to a lot of Jurassic 5, Loop Junktion, k-os, MF Doom, Black Star, Edan, and Percee P to name a few...
