Some of your selections I agree with... particularly Eminem, Jay Z, and Method Man. I think Snoop is *highly* overrated (thug with a voice).. his lyrics aren't overly creative and Doggystyle's awesomeness (by far his best album) can be directly attributed to Dre's production.

Also... as far as creativity of lyrics and versatility go, Nas outshines at least half of this list. I kind of agree with your "dark horse" Diddy selection, but unfortunately there is no way he is as good a rapper, nor has he the depth of creative work that Nas has.

Kanye relies more on awesome production, but then I think the same thing about Snoop and Diddy.

I think there are lot of less known MC's with amazing talent who just don't have the hype machine to compete with the 90's gangsta west coast stuff, but who are probably better... A couple of my favorites are: Brother Ali, Rhymefest and Dilated Peoples/Evidence. Check 'em out if you get a chance.

I don't have much to say about rap artists but did want to complain about Pandora's limit. When I work a lot of hours I always hit it and then I have to search for something comparable on another free radio. Annoying. Plus my work computer doesn't let me download software so it has to be something that doesn't need downloads. Double-annoying. Also, my captcha is "hickies". Heee!
