It's not that hard, folks. 5 rappers. Not 5 rap groups, or 10 rappers.

Mine?

Crooked I
Eligh
Brother Ali
Finale
Tech N9ne

L.J.T. · Post by **L.J.T.** » Wed May 13, 2009 3:43 pm

First that come to mind currently making good music.

Elzhi
Z-Ro
DOOM
Reks
Raekwon/Freeway/Ali

A Saigon or Joell Ortiz album could change a couple things.

Joe Budden (Padded Room failure, e=hate and whatnot, I still like him)
Crooked I (Crooked been ripping nearly every track he's on)
Z-Ro (Since I heard A.B.N. last year, I've been steady checking Z-Ro)
Pusha T (no-brainer)
Rick Ross (I really liked "Deeper Than Rap", imo a lot better than his previous two)

Honorable mention (:arrow:):

Blu (Been watching his every move (:pause:) since "Below The Heavens" dropped)

Z-Ro- Crack was weak to me, but that verse on Paul Wall's I'm Clean restored faith.

Lil Boosie- I look forward to Boosie features kinda like i used to look forward to Ugk features

E-40

NGAFSH- got some new songs he made recently that are sick!

Playa Fly- He has a new album that is supposed to come out
He killed this verse on gucci mane too

I hope you're not talking about my list. My list reflects my current favorite rappers.

senorhaha · Post by **senorhaha** » Wed May 13, 2009 7:25 pm

its amazing how many people on here cant count or understand the meaning of current

and i thought i was stupid :)

i would post a list, but the majority of the material from the artists on my list have not been released yet, and therefor could not be considered current
