Music now, who's your favourite modern rapper? 50 Cent, Eminem, whatever.
Best modern rapper?
drizzy drake rogers I'm too busy to play father and when it comes to the game I'm willing to play harder
For me my favorite would have to be Lupe Fiasco.
I don't really listen to rap music, but I figure that Eminem is one of the best rappers in recent memory and certainly one of the more unique artist in mainstream history that doesn't rap about the usual things in rap music (money, cars, TVs, whores, that kind of stuff).
He still does produce music.
Though Ice-T and Jeff gets honourable mention for being awesome.
Eminem fo show. And this is the perfect opportunity to post an awesome montage without being criticized for spam:
Other Notables are:
Drake
K'naan (Troubadour is a great album, he has much more than just 'Wavin Flag')
Lupe Fiasco
Buck 65 (very not traditional, check him out)
Kanye West
Mos Def
Kid Cudi

" Jeff Gerstmann "
Actually, a friend once told me, "Music is like candy. You have to get rid of the rappers." Unless it's Jeff.
" @Metroid545 said:your friend is a wise man" Jeff Gerstmann "Actually, a friend once told me, "Music is like candy. You have to get rid of the rappers." Unless it's Jeff. "
Lol , I like how eminem is the de facto answer for everyone who say they don't listen to hip hop
Anyway , my vote goes to andre 3000. He truly is a modern day poet
SHAD is great, Drake has his moments, and I love me some Weezy mixtapes -- albums are always shit.
Lately I've been listening to EARL and Tyler The Creator from ODDFUTURE, after a friend recommended them to me. Nasty and pretty crazy lyrics about rape and crazy shit, but some of their lines are crazy, crazy good. Recommended to everyone who likes hiphop, superhardcore old school dudes that hate pretty much everything that isn't samplebased beware though, as the beats are pretty modern and electronic. EARL is like 16 and Tyler is 18 or something, so they have crazy potential to say the least, if they can stop being absolutely insane and survive til their 25th: http://vimeo.com/12056212 (BEWARE, extremely nfsw and generally upsetting, even though it's probably not real. Looks fucking real though.)
Otherwise the best modern rapper is Big Boi, in terms of flow and lyrical content. Unstoppable.
