Can Oppo give me some different rap artists to listen to? I have the good stuff from the 80's/ 90's/early 2000's. Looking for other new stuff besides what is considered "popular" i.e Drake, Wiz Kalifia, etc Have some cars for your time.

I recently got turned on to The Specktators / Packy

Otherwise Childish Gambino, Chiddy Bang, a bunch of others I am forgetting. I stream a lot of radio so whatever it plays similar to those.

The reason I still like my Zune music is because its 9.99 a month for unlimited content.

iHeart Radio is free, and there's no ads when you use the iHeart Auto app. You can only skip so many songs, and some repeat too often if you listen for too long, but it beats Pandora and Last.fm and others I have tried.

Can't say I did, just looked to see if my music program had it. Now I know.

A$AP ROCKY AND Kendrick Lamar are the best semi-mainstream rappers since Eminem broke in '99. If you feel down for hipster hop i reccomend the weeknd. RiFF FaFF and Mickey Avalon if you're feeling trashy.

Sorry, I wasn't being completely serious. Although I do genuinely count Bill Drummond as one of my favourite rappers. Something about the accent.

Not exactly recent, though. If you haven't had the pleasure before, you're in for a treat. The White Room was much more conventional than What the fuck's going on, but still good fun if you've never heard it before. WTFGO was pulped for using an Abba sample, so when I was younger it was seriously hard to find. Bear in mind this is 1987, so they're doing all the sampling on tape recorders...

Oh, and you can understand why ABBA objected:

I've never been able to hear Dancing Queen since without hearing the crying baby.

These guys may be considered popular in certain circles, but certainly not to the extent of Drake, etc. :

If you know KMD from the 90's, then MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday, Mm Food, Take Me To Your Leader, Madvillainy, Danger Doom, Vaudeville Villain

Quasimoto - The Unseen, Further Adventures of Lord Quas, Yessir Whatever

I don't do rap, but when I do it's Atmosphere and Brother Ali. Plugging either one of those into Pandora grits me a tolerable station.

Shwayze, Chance the Rapper, Chiddy Bang and Kid Cudi are all excellent. I guess Kid Cudi and Chance are both pretty popular, but they're worth mentioning. Shwayze is laid back and kinda relaxing. Chiddy has awesome beats, though the rapping isn't always fantastic.

I got a few for you: Jacka, Papoose, Nocturnal Hustlers/Savage C, Cellski, Ampichino (this guy is very slept on), A-Mafia.

Anything by AZ is classic.
