I'm a sort of fan, but more your "hits".  Thanx to spotfiy I often pick and choose tracks here and there.

I mean if I listed tracks I like that come under the Hip Hop banner...

Dre: Next Episode, Still Dre, Forgot About Dre

Eminem: Stan, Guilty Conscience, Drug Ballad, Stan, Beautiful, The Way I Am

Jay-Z: 99 Problems

RUN-DMC: Rock Box, D-X Theme, Its Tricky, It's Like That, Run's House

2-Pac: California Love

Kanye West: Gold Digger

Xzibit: X

And some with rock mixed in....

Jay-Z and Linkin Park stuff, Busta Rhymes and Linkin Park's We Made It

And probably much more I'm forgetting (I like a fair bit of Kid Rock when he was still rapping), but as you can see I'm a hits guy, I don't really own any complete albums, thats why I like spotify, I can pick and choose tracks and sample stuff, there are bits by Snoop Dogg, Eazy E, Public Enemy and NWA I've delved into to, Nuthin But a G Thang, Express Yourself etc.

Lol - thats freaky, your list looks suspicioulsy like mine would read

I suppose these are the 'big' tracks with significant cross over appeal (either that or they are just good music)

I have albums by a number of rap artists but like you said, i'm more a fan of songs than artists

Aye back in the day when Nu-Metal was taking off I got a few Eminem, Kid Rock albums and listened to my mates D-12 and Snoop Dogg stuff but when I properly discovered rock my interest just floated off, now I like bits, I think Eminem is an interesting one because he can be fantastic but when he does his comedy routine I lose interest.
