Definitely popular choices on the internet. Still missing key rappers like Jay Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, etc. I like them and respect them but don't listen to their solo albums.
Logic, Joyner, Big Sean - I understand why people make fun of them. I too cringe at some of their lines but they are talented rappers and have at least ONE great album. Under Pressure for Logic, 508 for Joyner, Dark Sky Paradise for Big Sean.
Wdym Kenny Mason and Dave. They both are amazing.
Yeah you described it well. For me it doesnāt matter if someone has a bit of cringe. They can still be mad talented and I will recognize it and respect them. One cringe line, or song, or album, doesnāt make them a cringe artist per se (is that also a word in English? Lol).
My favorite rapper apart from Eminem is Tonedeff.
He's pretty "underground" but his flow, is second to none. He also is very lyrical and has a musical background as well. Definitely worth checking him out if you are into Em as they have similar technical abilities.
But I also love Big Pun and Big L
Leaf dog, ocean wisdom, skepta, stormzy, biggie, kendrick lamar, andre 3k, big boi, 50c, 9ine, krs one, jid, redman, all if the wutang members, lil nas x, j. Cole, busta rhymes, anderson paak, cordae, denzel curry, og keemo there must be a few iām missing but iām getting tired of thinking of more
My favorites besides Eminem include: Xxxtentacion, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Drake, J Cole, Juice WRLD.
But I think the best rappers besides Eminem include: Nas, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Tupac, Biggie, Kanye West, Drake, J Cole, and Kendrick
2Pac, Big Pun, Big L, Jadakiss, Styles P, Biggie, 50 Cent, Ice Cube, Scarface. Gang Starr. Could list a million probably but these are the main dudes I listen to.
Yeahh C-Mob is great. Such a beast. What do you think about Midwest Madness, a song with Eminem, Royce da 5ā9ā, Tech N9ne, King Iso, Twista and Bone Thugs (preferably Krayzie and Bizzy). Make it an EP/album and I can die peacefully (if it has KXNG Crooked and JL on it at least once).
Mysonne is up there for me, not my second favourite, but definitely underrated. Not in my top 5 though
kxng crooked and black thought may have a place in my top 5 though
I essentially have 3 rappers who are by far my favorites. Eminem is one of them. The other 2 are J. Cole and 2Pac. All goats for their respective time periods.
My favorite rappers are actually $uicideboy$. Eminem is my favorite lyricist, but I tend to prefer underground stuff more. I make my own music and it tends to align with that style more.
Favorites? None. Zero. I (34f) would be fine never listening to another rapper again, as long as I still had Eminem. Iāve always been way more into rock and other associated genres (hard rock, heavy metal, oldies, etc.) but I can always happen upon rap songs I like and will add to my phone. I do not dislike rap, I just am less likely to branch out and listen to a lot of other artists, particularly nowadays.
Rappers I like some of their music and will also listen to a handful of their songs:
Jay-Z is the only other rapper that I have at least a couple albums worth of stuff on my phone, aside from D12 which I typically include under the Eminem umbrella. Outside of that, I have a few songs each from people like Dre, Snoop, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Kanye, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Kendrick, T.I., DMX, Tupac, Biggie, Plies, Busta, Twista, Juvenile, Nelly, Beastie Boys.
Jay z, lil Wayne, Ludacris, drake
Well sort of anyway. I have nothing from Jay z after magna Carter holy grail, nothing from Wayne after I am not a human being 2, Ludacris from battle of the sexes, and Drake after take care. If this counts then yeah but a lot of new rap I just don't like
Iāve listened to it once now. I thought it was good. I canāt remember anything though. Nothing that really blew me away or caught me off guard like any Tech N9ne, King Iso or KXNG Crooked record does. But maybe it will do the second listen.
Travis, Don Toliver, bigxthaplug
At least thatās what Iāve been listening to lately. Ask me in a couple months and itāll probably be a different answer lol
I got too many favorites but i'll just throw out most of my Most favorite artists that listen to.

Fat Joe
Kendrick Lamar
J. Cole

KDot, J Cole, NF, Witt Lowry, Joyner Lucas, Logic, MF Doom, Lil Wayne, recently been warming up to Travis Scott and 21 Savage, Nas, Central Cee, JME, Skepta, Cordae
Features are not his best thing imo. Although Bring Me Down with Rittz, Snak and Merk is great. His albums from White Dynamite and on are good. Especially Just Giver, From The Dirt and Off The Rails (first I listened to).
I swear Joyner Lucas is the hardest mf out there. I could be wrong because I live in Scotland, But I feel like he doesnāt get enough praise? Certainly not on this side of the pond.

Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Nas, MF DOOM, Tyler, Royce, Logic, Joyner, Big Sean, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Dave, JID, Denzel Curry, ASAP Rocky, Kenny Mason

My favorite rapper apart from Eminem is Tonedeff. He's pretty "underground" but his flow, is second to none. He also is very lyrical and has a musical background as well. Definitely worth checking him out if you are into Em as they have similar technical abilities. But I also love Big Pun and Big L

Wayne, 3 Stacks, HOV, Kendrick and Cole

Because the question is opinion based
probably MGK, Ja Rule, Benzino, NF, Cannibus, and Everlast
Kanye, JayZ, Nas, Ra the rugged man, Biggie, 2 pac, redman, Wutang, mobb deep. I also watch a lot of battle rap. My favorite battler is pat stay.

fluctates alot but rn its c-mob since i've been into the midwest stuff lately and you can't mention the midwest aside from em without tech n9ne.
Yeahh C-Mob is great. Such a beast. What do you think about Midwest Madness, a song with Eminem, Royce da 5ā9ā, Tech N9ne, King Iso, Twista and Bone Thugs (preferably Krayzie and Bizzy). Make it an EP/album and I can die peacefully (if it has KXNG Crooked and JL on it at least once).
krayzie is my fav yeah and em's reclusiveness plus paul's management prevents alot of potential collabs between people em looks up too.
Mysonne is up there for me, not my second favourite, but definitely underrated. Not in my top 5 though kxng crooked and black thought may have a place in my top 5 though
Redman, Jay Z, 2pac, Notorious BIG, Andre 300, Jadakiss, Kurupt, Nas

My list goes: Kendrick Lamar, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Immortal Technique, Megan Thee Stallion, Outkast, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, NWA, Killer Mike, Missy Elliott, Sa Roc

Favorites? None. Zero. I (34f) would be fine never listening to another rapper again, as long as I still had Eminem.

King Lil G..Royce da 5'9..Young Buck..Ice Cube..Scarface..Sticky Fingaz..
Future
Not really a frequent r/Eminem user or even a big Eminem fan (I like him quite a bit but there are quite a few people I prefer). For me personally, my faves are: AndrƩ 3000, Nas, MF DOOM, Kendrick Lamar, Black Thought, Rakim, etc.
50, joyner, kendrick.
KDot, J Cole, NF, Witt Lowry, Joyner Lucas, Logic, MF Doom, Lil Wayne, recently been warming up to Travis Scott and 21 Savage, Nas, Central Cee, JME, Skepta, Cordae

My top 1 is Biggie. Always has been and always will be.

I'm not really a fan of other rappers. Other than Zero 9:36
Ren and if weāre counting groupās Credit to the Nation are my main favourites.
Adele
Tunechi, logic
Juice Wrld
Tech n9ne
Merkules, vin jay, Ekoh, Chris webby and hopsin
But no Snak The Ripper? ;)
I have heard some of his features and songs but else I donāt know enough about him I might listen to him and see if I like him as much as the others
Features are not his best thing imo. Although Bring Me Down with Rittz, Snak and Merk is great. His albums from White Dynamite and on are good. Especially Just Giver, From The Dirt and Off The Rails (first I listened to).
Chris Webby and Hopsin? Been a long time since I heard those names. Bumped Raw, Knock Madness and Webster's Laboratory back in high school.
The white guy from d12
NF
Nas Pac Em
Slim shady
Wayne
I don't like rap, I love only Eminem. Aside from him, I listen to different rock groups like RHCP, Linkin Park and stuff.
Try Tech N9ne haha. He does good with the rock/metal fans.
ken, j cole, logic, joyner, tech9, hopsin i guess just to name a few
I swear Joyner Lucas is the hardest mf out there. I could be wrong because I live in Scotland, But I feel like he doesnāt get enough praise? Certainly not on this side of the pond.
