My rap and hip hop playlist is kind of lacking in content, so I've come here asking for any rap or hip hop songs that many of you have come across.
Post anything whether it has lyrics or just instrumental.
EDIT: What milo said, although if it's not generic shit about swag and shit like that, I'll be cool with it.
pretty much anything that was made in the 90s or earlier, everything after is trash
If you have Spotify, check out this playlist me and my friend made.

Killer Mike has gotten better and better every album. God in the Building (off Pledge II) is amazing. Pledge III/R.A.P. Music both have some great songs. Deadringer (RJD2) is great, and mostly instrumental. Could you post you playlist/list some artists you already have? No sense listing every good artists I can think of if you already know a bunch of them.
edit: I'll list a few
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony

A Tribe Called Quest

Aesop Rock
Common
Big Punisher
Cypress Hill
Snoop
Dr Dre

KEAK DA SNEAK. Really though how does he have so many albums out? Gotta give him some respect for that.
cunninlynguists
and if you like instrumentals, try glitch hop and other broken beat genres of edm (such as dnb, breakbeat, and non-commercial dubstep).

i only fuck with real hiphop
Some Nas, some Lushlife, and Tech N9ne makes it good too. Also a tribe called quest is a big one too,

Oh god. I have to take a final soon but I'll come back later tonight and come up with a list of albums I think are good/essential.
Listening all the time to Action Bronson. (Blue chips album...)
Dude is a boss.

and yet you dont list either of kanyes best albums
ok
this is for not just the OP, but for everyone here, cuz I doubt any of you listen to them
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE DOPPELGANGAZ
they're like the greatest rap group I've heard in a LONG time and like no one I've asked has heard of them, please change that
their best album is called Lone Sharks, but Hark is also really good
