I never said I don't like rap music. I'm just saying most rappers suck the big one. Same thing with, say, guitarists - most of them are awful, but that doesn't mean I don't like to hear the guitar played well. Now this totally sucks the big one. Lose Yourself or Gangsta's Paradise, however...
Now I don't think it fully qualifies as Rap, but this is freakin' awesome:
To be honest the only 2 rap "acts" I was till now able to listen to were the Beastie Boys and Dee Dee King, probably because both of them combined hip hop with punk. I personally never liked Eminem

To each his own, I guess. If people play Beastie Boys at me, it mostly just makes me want to tell them state secrets so they'll stop.
I always thought of The Beasties as mainly a rock band, anyway............I dont listen to rap much anymore, but I do like Eminem........and for a while back in the 90s I was always hearing Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg everywhere..........
I kinda hesitate to admit it now but back in the late 80s or so I was quite the fan of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince...........(I heard that last guy had a bit a movie career later......)
And hey............its not really what you'd call rap, but the inspiration to and source of samples to a ton of rappers......I do love some P-Funk...........especially some of those old Funkadelic albums.........
Copy/paste worked, so don't fret.
Thought the first and last thirty seconds of 'Atmosphere' keyboards sounded like a Carole King/Gerry Goffin collaboration. Skipped the middle part, because I don't like rap.
Made it through about five seconds of the thread starter
I head some Plan B recently, which was surprisingly good, although I don't know if that could be labeled as rap.
Some Public Enemy lyrics make me smile.
To be fair, I don't like rap and never have, but I do like some things like Debbie Harry rapping in Rapture (also check out Military Rap on her first solo album), the song World In Motion by New Order (it's also got rapping in it) and the above posted Stutter Rap.
