really though; a short list of rap artists who really opened my eyes to different styles:
Lupe Fiasco
Ohmega Watts
Shad K
Wyclef Jean
Beastie Boys
RUN DMC
Arrested Development
De La Soul
A Tribe Called Quest
this is just to name a few for the sake of not making one long list, but these artists really opened my eyes to a shitload of new styles of the hip hop genre and just solidify it as a really fluid and flexible style of musical poetry
