go back about a decade and there is some great rap music.

I'd go back about 25 years, personally. I'm far more partial to 80s hip hop, maybe the first half of the 90s. That 1985-94 window is the creative peak of the genre, for me.

I feel the same. Rondo, in his Friday Music thread, will post some good tracks every now and then though.

The only rap I've ever liked has been recently discovered by my 14 y/o son. It's 90's stuff, usually put to more jazzy rhythms. Stuff like
Digable Planets
De La Soul
A Tribe Called Quest
