Only seriously started getting into hip-hop about a year ago. Really into cLOUDDEAD, Dr. Octagon, Cannibal Ox, Death Grips, Deltron 3030 as my favourites.

lil wayne
jay-z
mos def
some eminem
some dead prez
kanye west

i could seirously go on forever
i also make my own rap which i listen to as well

instrumental hip hop / production / beats and to some extension, 'trap'
clams casino - realest alive

it seems that you accidentally grouped lil wayne in with all the good rappers

DEATH GRIPS

Been really into Black Star recently. Also a lot of stuff from Native Tongues and DITC.

Come on! Lil Wayne is dope! Maybe his newer material isn't up to the par of his 'golden era', but even his newest mixtape has some amazing tracks. He's one of the most interesting personalities in Hip Hop and makes very entertaining rap music, sometimes very clever/lyrical (depending on which Lil Wayne you're listening to).

AT LEAST tell me you'll give him credit for bangers like "A Milli", "Upgrade", "Got Money", "Break Up", "6 Foot 7 Foot"

Edan - Beauty and the Beat. Lo-fi hip hop that draws samples 60s psychedelia records. It's a masterpiece.

Full album here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=napS5CFsfo8

One of the best hip hop albums of all time imo yet he never really gets much recognition. See also his debut Primitive Plus album and Edan's Echo Party mix. The man is a legend. He records most his stuff on 4track cassette and does all the scratching and rapping at the same time. Check the skills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HdO6ptG6vw

Just got into Willie Evans Jr.'s stuff. Really sweet, almost reminds me of MF Doom a little bit.

Death Grips is good but I didn't like No Love Deep Web very much. I thought the electronic part of it was done well but the lyrics ruined it for me. " YOU NEED A LIFT!?? YOU CAN SIT BETWEEN THE BACK SEAT OF MY DICK!".....if I was going to listen to that song in my car I'd be rolling up the window on that part.
