aiite aiite my turn to chime in
first things first
aftermath 
i can't stand rappers like: rocko, young joc, 50cent, tony yayo, loydd banks the list goes of goons goes on
the rap game as of now..
lil wayne: will basically flow over anything and kill it, his swagger and his lyrics are so ingenious and has grown from being a "hot boy/cash money millionaire" to a young money monsta. he's gained my respect through mixtapes and collabos
young jeezy: his voice and swag is on point but he's only hot on other peoples tracks i was very dissapointed when i heard "the inspiration" and could only point on a couple songs i liked
rick ross: the trilla album is AMAZING! probably 1 or 2 tracks i'll skip through but he's definately holdin it down for miami on the kahled mixtapes and maybach music with JAY-Z
kanye west: awesome producer but when he hops on tracks his parts are
meh... i like graduation though and he gained my respect there
THE GAME!: singled handedly brought west coast hip hop back on the map and came out on top after the G-unot beef. games lyrics can sometimes be a little repetative but his mixtape shit is where its at if you haven't downloaded "unowwhatitiz vol 4" do it! the game is the reason 50 can't rap about being a thug anymore notice how all his albums now are about clubs cars or sex??
jay-z: probably my favorite rapper ever since "reasonable doubt" although his last 2 albums were whatever you gotta look back and see how much he's accomplished and what he's done for the rap game his albums never get old
i can go on and on about the rap game but those are 5 off the top
