I like hip-hop, but I think I have strange opinions about it.
For me, the lyrics aren't really important. What really matters to me in a rap song is the production and the vocal delivery. In terms of lyrics, they only really stick out to me when they're particularly bad, or there's some clever wordplay in there. I'm not too into the super-underground guys who just spit abstract hard-to-follow shit. I don't mind the lyrics when their delivery is on point though.
So in terms of production, I'm really into El-P and old Bomb Squad stuff.
My favorite artists I would say are Danny Brown, Public Enemy, Kanye West, Clipping, Death Grips, and Cannibal Ox.
