Not a huge rap fan. Just songs here and there. Was on a pretty big Ice-T kick back in the early 90s. Love the Too Short song "In the Ghetto".
As far as new rap goes, I love Rye Rye. She unfortunately got pregnant right when Uni was about to launch her album and its been postponed. MIA is pretty much my favorite artist, but you cant really classify her as rap even though she has elements of it.
