I'm not really sure who Danny Seth is but he sounds a lot like Tinie Tempah on that track.

I love "The British are coming" part just before his verse though.

Now I can get with this. They definitely take time to pay homage to the art of rhyming. Joey B kinda reminds me of Black Thought in the way he rhymes and sounds. The beat is chill, too.

Christ Conscious, Joey's latest cut, is spectacular.

It's tough for me to categorize what kind of rap I like. Generally, as long as there is some crafty wordplay, unique delivery and at least a little substance I'll bump it. The only "ghetto rap" so to speak that I bump is the kind that originates in Houston or Port Arthur (UGK, Zro, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, etc).. These newer "gansta" types are weak AF. I'm talking Young Thug, Lil Bibby, Rich Homie Quan and those.. That rap is garbage.

A short list of my favorite current artists includes: Chance the Rapper, Mac Miller, ASAP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, Bishop Nehru, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Action Bronson (Booty would prolly love), Childish Gambino (aka Troy from Community. Fuji would prolly love), Isaiah Rashad, Vic Mensa, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, MellowHype, Juicy J, Dizzy Wright, Kid Cudi, Freddie Gibbs, The Underachievers and Problem.

I mostly gravitate towards less mainstream rappers but even so I can't lie.. Kanye is my all-time favorite. I can get down with some Drake and Lil Wayne in small doses too but as I said, I prefer rappers who aren't so watered down.

I would say a few of your favourites could be considered mainstream.

ASAP Rocky, Mac Miller, Childish Gambino and Kid Cudi are very popular and could be considered mainstream.

Juicy J as well. He's actually the only artist on that list who I hear on the radio often. Besides him, "3005" by Gambino, "Fucking Problem" by ASAP and "Day n Nite" by Cudi are the only songs you hear by the artists I mentioned. But the difference between them and someone like Drake for example is that they primarily make music according to their distinct style, rather than appearing on features and delivering cookie cutter verses. I'm not dissing Drake, though. It's just that most of his singles are incredibly plain. I'm a much bigger fan of the music of his that doesn't appear on the radio/MTV.

Also I don't think you can say Mac Miller is a very mainstream artist. There was a time he basically made pop songs, but since 2012 his songs have been mostly very experimental and some might even say unusual. WMWTSO has a couple bubble gum raps, but Faces and his Delusional Thomas mixtape are wayyyy out there. I love the new Mac Miller personally.. He isn't at all the baby faced white boy with the catchy hooks and dance friendly beats he once was. The difference between "Donald Trump" and "The Star Room" for example is staggering. He's super popular, but definitely not mainstream in the sense I was referencing.
