Tyler : only sounds good without drums or rapping over old Neptunes instrumentals.

Raekwon : I still haven't heard OB4CL 2 but he can still knock out the odd truly great song here and there.

Andre 3000 : only sounds good with drums. Tired of his guest verse schtick now.

Action Bronson : feeling that last song of his, otherwise I only listen to a couple of songs on Bon Appetit.. Bitch!!!!

Sean Price : haven't liked anything by him since the handful of good Heltah Skeltah songs in 2008, but he gets eternal credit for ripping off HustleCrowe.

Curren$y : a weed-rap bore since 2010.

Brother Ali : HHI fodder.

Killer Mike : Ronald Reagan in Juke Girl >>>>> his album with El-P. The further he gets away from the sound of his debut album, the less I care about him.

Jay Electronica : Best rapper since Nas, guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Roc Marciano : still prefer Marcberg as an EP, but dope. Don't check for all his collabo projects, though.

Tyler The Creator - raps are Game-level awkward & bumbling but has yet to cry during interview
Raekwon - needs to speak up
Andre 3000 - needs to get the fuck down off his unicorn
Action Bronson - hes jokes but has nearly ruined rapping about food which is a bit fucked up imo
Sean Price - also jokes but most of his solo shit has 9th Wonder types dragging it down
Curren$y - great before he made rapping about weed sound as fun as talking to someone about weed in most of his songs
Brother Ali - poorman's Yellowman
Killer Mike - he made one of the two rap albums in 2012
Jay Electronica - like him more if his music was like his sexual shenanigans
Roc Marciano - his rapping about food will be good til the fat man jumps the shark

Tyler The Creator - Hype over substance/quality.

Raekwon - "Pay me homage, son!"

Andre 3000 - Where's the solo album (the rapping solo)?

Action Bronson - Will never top "Imported Goods."

Sean Price - Funny rapper.

Curren$y - Smoke DZA w/ a Nawlins accent.

Brother Ali - Never listened, he's white right?

Killer Mike - That Smoking Section retrospective from a few years back was dope, still haven't listened to R.A.P. Music.

Jay Electronica - Put out an album or STFU.

Roc Marciano - Where the fuck is Reloaded?

Tyler The Creator: Initially appeared to be one of the most interesting characters in Odd Future; now appears to be the least.
Raekwon: The only rapper left in the Wu Tang Clan
Andre 3000: The Shield was the last thing he did that mattered
Sean Price: I wish Rock had taken his career path instead
Roc Marciano: I wish Lord Have Mercy had taken his career path instead
Action Bronson: The Curren$y of food raps
Curren$y: The Action Bronson of weed raps
Brother Ali: Not Chuck D
Killer Mike: Not Ice Cube
Jay Electronica: Still the worst name in rap history

Tyler The Creator - Only track I've heard is Yonkers, I get the appeal but I'm pretty indifferent to him.
Raekwon - That Dude; Considering he didnt make a decent album for about 15 years its quite impressive that he's redeemed himself.
Andre 3000 - Good rapper, obv. Really dont care if he ever releases an album though.

Action Bronson - Not wack but I cant get over the Ghostface thing and I havent really heard more than 1 or 2 tunes of his as a result.

Sean Price - Solid rapper but generally quite generic

Curren$y - Realeases too much music; Covert Coup is still the best shit I've heard in years though. I fucking love it.

Brother Ali - never heard

Killer Mike - Never really checked for him; got sent the new album but havent listened yet.

Jay Electronica - loved Exhibit C. Not overly impressed by anything else, could have a great album in him but looks like he's going for the safe formula of obvious guests and producers.

Roc Marciano - I really liked 'Lay It Down' off Marco Polo's album. Solid rapper but I havent bothered checking for much he's done, he doesnt strike me as being particularly unique.

Tyler The Creator - seems like there's a decent chance that he will make better music when he's not under the microscope for rape raps

Raekwon - CL2 bought him enough good will with the fans to do whatever the fuck he wants for the rest of his life without suffering much blame or backlash.

Andre 3000 - getting harder and harder to care

Action Bronson - still very amused by this guy but he's getting overexposed, inevitable backlash rapidly approaching

Sean Price - had something good going with Monkey Barz, pissed it all away since

Curren$y - one of my favorite current rappers when he gets it right, but puts out too much disposable filler

Brother Ali - never cared never will

Killer Mike - i really like RAP music but i think once the rush of its impact dissipates i will go back to being mostly indifferent to him one way or another

Jay Electronica - nothing sadder in this world than wasted talent

Roc Marciano - if you collect all the best solo singles he's released since Marcberg, and combine them with a very select few of his guest features/collabos, you will have an 'album' that might be as good as Marcberg (or at least not far behind it)

Tyler The Creator - jumped the shark before putting out a quality album
Raekwon - has returned to a decent rendition of his 90's style, every verse is identical.
Andre 3000 - Unable to record a solo album, should crawl back to Big Boi, but too busy with shaving commercials.
Action Bronson - 10 years too late for Theodore Unit.
Sean Price - can't believe anyone still cares.
Curren$y - smoked too much weed already.
Brother Ali - should've been a black albino, would've given him more indy rap street cred.
Killer Mike - beast of a rapper who works well with producers outside of the southern norm (formerly ET3 now El-P)
Jay Electronica - teabagging illuminati marriages, never ever dropping an album
Roc Marciano - best 90's NYC revivalist in existence.

I dont listen to a lot of Brother Ali, but he has one of my favourite verses of the past 5 years:

Sean Price - funny rapper, i loved monkey barz
Curren$y - needs more 1 producer only projects
Brother Ali - great on shadows of the sun but needs to quit the preaching sounding shit

Tyler The Creator - Asshole.
Raekwon - Surprisingly still relevant.
Andre 3000 - Want more. Make an album. Then, make an Outkast album.
Action Bronson - Entertaining. Smokes too much. Lose weight before you die.
Sean Price - Martin Luther, Malcolm X, Knotts Landing, Falcon Crest. Only Sean.
Curren$y - Sounds exactly the same on every single song.
Brother Ali - Doesn't get his due. Great performer. Great albums.
Killer Mike - Thanks for not becoming Mike Bigga. Kills shit constantly.
Jay Electronica - Horrid name. Can the album live up to the wait?
Roc Marciano - His album was boring. Admit it. Better since then.

Tyler The Creator - One hit wonder who is a fucking loser on Twitter and probably in real life as well.
Raekwon - Has been able to keep the same job for 20 years and be relatively successful.
Andre 3000 - A guy who is a dope rapper but decided to branch out and do too many other things and now sees going back to what made him great as a step back so he won't do it.
Action Bronson - One of the few newer rappers (2008 or newer) that I check for.
Sean Price - I liked Jesus Price Superstar and Monkey Bars but he hasn't put out much since then that isn't just average sounding.
Curren$y - His content doesn't change much but he picks good beats for the most part.
Brother Ali - Weird looking dude who likes to preach about stuff.
Killer Mike - I like him but I rarely check for his music.
Jay Electronica - I liked Exhibit C but I think it was 65% beat, 35% lyrics.
Roc Marciano - A king of ignorant rap type shit

Raekwon Legend...that has made more than a few career mis steps...but he keeps redeeming himself.
Andre 3000 Legend, but much prefer him in OutKast 93-96.
Action Bronson Dope and funny but getting a bit played out and is working with some shitty rappers these days.
Sean Price Dope...but he hasn't been blowing me away lately.
Curren$y Meh...not into him, don't see or hear the hype.
Brother Ali B Ali is the truth, some of his tracks can be a bit dull though.
Killer Mike is good, I don't think he is incredible though.
Jay Electronica He is good but he needs to get as far away from Roc Nation as possible though, they will turn him into something he isn't and make him into a shitty mainstream rapper.
Roc Marciano ill...can't wait for the new album, he hasn't dissapointed me once.
