I can only offer basic surface level stuff but as somebody who doesn't really like rap I unironically kinda like Notorious BIG's stuff, also MF Doom is usually held in high regard from what I've heard

In terms of the lyrics? Dance with the Devil by immortal technique is head and shoulders above everything else

Listening to someone trying to justify listening to rap, even "ironically," is like listening to them try to justify having a "functional" habit of smoking meth and masturbating for 8 hours a night.

Those are just off his recent mixtape. He constantly makes himself obsolete because as soon as he releases new music his old things are inferior to his new things. Every single time I think that he cannot get any better and every single time I'm proven wrong.

In no particular order :
Aesop rock
Kendrick
Andre 3000
MF DOOM
Immortal Technique
Illogic
RTJ
Schoolboy Q
Vince Staples
I don’t enjoy the last two for their lyrics, but since lyrical rap is still rap you are better off listening for the sound.

Godfather Don
The Cenobites (kick a dope verse in particular is my favorite)
Poor Righteous Teachers
Wise Intelligent
Greydon Squared (unfortunately if you look closely he's actually illuminati, still decent in a Freemasonry sort of way)
Kanye West
Too Short
Slick Rick
Louis Prima
Smith N Wesson

I could go on but you get the idea. Stop listening to corporate shit and just enjoy the aesthetics of it all.

Immortal Technique is a retard and so are you for being fooled by the classical music in his instrumentals.

You have no idea what you're saying. 50 is soulful and Eminem is probably the most gifted lyricist in rap.
