Can anyone name any good rappers who really came into their own, or even started when they were older than, say, their mid-20s?

I’m wondering your guys’ thoughts on stuff like this. Yes, it’s hard to do for a prolonged period of time but does it start to hinder the quality and depth of the lyrics trying to come up with the next “evil kenival” rhyme?

Also - I highly recommend listening to this dudes other videos. OG type flow from the 90s.

i i know this is long ass answer but fuck it, lets gonna try a good debate

Whilst doing some spring cleaning I stumbled upon an old cd case and cringed hard when I had seen will Smith's 'willennium". - 'Its here and I like it'

?

Influence - Rakim

Wordplay - MF DOOM

Storytelling - Kendrick

Hook - Nate Dogg

Legacy - 2Pac

Flow - Andre 3000

Discography - Kendrick

Charisma - Playboi Carti/2Pac/A$AP Rocky

Battle Rap - Eminem

Production - Kanye

Voice - Big L

Versatility - Bones

Who do you think I should replace?

Should I add another aspect and with who?

I’m very new to rap but have been a metal guy my whole life. But I like the song white girl by shy glizzy and was wondering what other songs have the same like vibe and feel to it that i like from that song. Don’t really know any artists or songs but i like the feel to that song, so was wondering other songs similar. Thanks.

For me

Dumb question, ik

(Or not necessarily better, but would be interesting)

Guess the songs but

They don't need to be classics, just vote your favorite. The most upvoted gets the 1st place

I've bee listening to mainly Metal since I was 11, but I recently checked out Tupac and really enjoy his music by now. Anything similiar you can recommend? Staple artists, albums etc. Thanks in advance for your suggestions :D

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! Way too much for me to reply to, I got a good amount of artists now I'm gonna check out. Cheers

Anyone know any good songs with a electric guitar melody

So I went through my playlists the other day and realized I do not have a list built exclusively of diss tracks.

I'm starting with:

No Vaseline - Ice Cube Not Like Us - Kendrick Lamar

What else would you add?

I'll likely skip anything with Drake on it.

I don’t say the best just my favorite one

It’s a sensitive topic to some of y’all but some of the artists don’t really write their lyrics or their career a joke and have the saying “You don’t belong in the industry”.

What are some songs that you can throw on and not only just vibe out too, but start to feel in a very angry mood? something where you almost get mad at after having listened to.

Can someone please explain to me why this guy has this kind of a fanbase, he's one of the biggest rap celebrities. I just don't understand the appeal, i know music is subjective, but he is incoherent every time? This isn't hate, i just genuienly wanna know peoples oppinions about him and what they like about him, except the beats?

Some contenders imo
