There's some good rap/hip-hop out there guys, you just have to wade through the commercialized-gimmick crap to find it. Jurassic 5, The Roots, Tonedeff, Aesop Rock, The Grouch, and Del are just a few.

There are types of music I don't really care for at all, however I think it's safe to say that I could find at least one artist/song from each genre that I can appreciate.
