I am a huge fan of HIP HOP not RAP and yes, there is a difference.
My favorite rapper is Tupac Shakur.
My favorite rappers who are alive are J. Cole and Eminem.

"Hey I came up, I warmed up the next up. Bitch I’m about to blow up. Now don’t it sound legendary. Living up the ressurected dead and buried. This for n-ggas not satisfied for secondary, This for my sisters who aint satisfied with secretary. Uh, I’m blowing and b-tch I’m still me, But whats the cost to live your dream do you feel me? Everything glittering aint what you think it will be. Funny how money changed and whips make me feel free. I’m starring in this b-tch and yeah I write the show. F-ck the haters; I’m headed to the place you like to go. They say "what you fighting for THE GAME IS ON LIFE SUPPORT", and Gary Coleman just passed, life is short." J. Cole
