Well, being from the south here the hiphop style has more of a amped movement. The only rapper I listen too regularly is Lil' Wayne. Not really his mainstream material but his SQAD and underground albums. I enjoy listenening to his music because he doesn't really hide or shade his lyrics. He talks about everything on a calm level and his voice fits the profile as well.

The choice of words he uses leads me to believe he's a smart individual. And I wouldn't call him a legend but he's been rapping since he was literally a child. That's talent.
