Bubba Sparxxx was skilled but also very country about it. This song is very typical:
Action Bronson was good for a stretch, but I've really tired of him lately as a rapper. He's not even trying to catch a beat these days. From Bon Appetit ..... Bitch through Blue Chips 2, you could feel his hunger (as a rapper, not just because he's fat). On Mr. Wonderful and in his guest appearances over the past three years, he seems to feel like he made it.
MC Serch deserves a passing mention. I cannot believe @
Allen Knight has let this thread go on without a Lil Wyte mention. I don't like him much, but Mac Miller is skilled as hell and seems to be improving on not being a little punk dick.
The truth is El-P probably has had the best career of any white rapper other than Eminem/Beastie Boys and is definitely the one I listen to the most, even if I don't like his rap nearly as much as his production.
