what about top 10 favourite rappers from the past five or so years? doing favourite rappers ever is a bit predictable for the most part for most people. id say my fave from the past five years would be something like this:
clipse
ying yang twins
mike jones
slim thug
chamillionaire
lil jon and the eastside boyz (okay, theyre not rappers as such, although they did used to rap more normally, but hey, theyre still hip hop)
killer mike
kanye west
ludacris
lupe fiasco/consequence (consequence isnt 'new' but he never really came out as a solo artist properly before)
id say dizzee but im not including grime/garage MCs in this. im sure theres others ive missed...
