My favorite rappers -

Dr.Dre
50 Cent
NWA
Kanye West
Sugarhill Gang
Notorious BIG
Snoop Dogg
Kool Keith/Dr. Dooom/ Dr.Octogon
Public Enemy

The one thing I dont like/understand about rap is how a word that was used just 40-50 years ago to mentally and emotionally degrade black people, and used when they were lynching them, is thrown around constantly like its nothing these days, by members of their own race. Also, they get soo offended when white people say it, but they can use it all they want.
