Beyonce , Timbaland , Usher , Soulja Boy , Missy Elliot , Lil Mama , Kanye West , 50 Cent , and so many more ^-^

At the moment, I have to say:

-Akon.
-Chris Brown.
-Kanye West.
-Alicia Keys.
-Rihanna.

but overall, my favorite is still TLC!

Besides Immortal Technique, I also love old-school hip-hop like Geto Boys & NWA.

& I've liked Missy Elliott for years.
Oh, & I love what DJ Dangermouse did with The Grey Album. It's genius.

I'm looking into getting into some more good rap, though, so I'll definitely be downloading some of the stuff people here have mentioned that I haven't heard of before. I mostly just pay attention to the eroguro/"angura" music scene & some metal so I don't hear much about hip-hop, even though I love it. :oops:

• I need some N.W.A. xD
  Straight Outta Compton is legendary, lolol.
  You should check out Indiefeed's hip hop podcast.

Kanye West, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Beastie Boys, Lupe Fiasco.

That's really all I listen to, I haven't found a day to go and look up some good Hip Hop/rap artists, but I will some time later.

That old song from Biz Markie takes the cake though.
JUST A FRIEND.

Its funny to see people mention tech n9ne since I'm from the same city as he. Any way, I'm into the west coast style of the qaunnum collective. Few pwn as much they.
