I was gonna say inb4dimethyl, but I was too late

I've heard all yours but some you will like that you may not have heard of are:

- Elzhi (If you liked Nas' Illmatic, you'll LOVE Elzhi)
- J. Cole
- Childish Gambino
- Wale
- Chip Tha Ripper
- Pusha T
- Cyhi da Prince
- XV
- Lil B
- Curren$y

All these guys aren't mainstream but are still relatively well known, if there was a class I would class them as just below mainstream. All good artists, let me know what you think.

 

Basically took all of them out of my mouth.
Along with Immortal Technique, The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest.

Believe it or not, Immortal Technique is actually way more known than people think.

Everyone I ask, they know about I.T

 

I know between the people I hang with, we all do.
But who listens to I.T. on a daily basis?
Barely anyone.
So, they are well known, yet they aren't "well" known if you know what I mean They just aren't too "popular" between the mainstream music today.

Mod Sun is the man, my favorite artists, everything about him is amazing, I really look up to this guy. He always has a smile on his face and has a great attitude towards everything.

 

Bump, anymore?

 

whoa, people actually listen to Lil B? I've seen it all now.........

anyways:
Eminem
Tupac
Big L
Tech N9ne
Hopsin
Cassidy
Biggie Smalls
KRS-One
Tha Joker
Yelawolf
Snoop Dog
T.I.
Tyga
Royce da 5'9'
Wax
Busta Rhymes
Jellyroll
Lil Wyte
Nas
Pusha T
Immortal Technique
Chris Webby

 

Based is boss dude. He's morphing into something nice. I'd assume Lym has heard of most of those artists too...

 

I've heard all but 2 people, thanks for posting though. I'm sure some people haven't .

 

Hopsin
Hopsin
Hopsin

 

Lil B is the opposite of nice. Anyone who raps like "Ima fuck yo bitch nigga ima fuck yo hoe nigga, bitches on my dick", etc, is NOT good... I'm honestly shocked that hes got millions of views. He doesn't deserve anything.

 

How many songs of his have you heard out of curiosity?

 

inb4hiphopdebates

I've heard 1 song from Lil B and I didn't really feel him, so I didn't really listen to him anymore. Will I give him another shot? Maybe in the future..

That's all I have to say about that.

 

Eminem and Hopsin are two that instantly pop into my head.

Others I have to think about which means they probably don't get listened to much lol.



Though I very much dislike Tyler the Creator, dudes just a fucking weird guy.
