^What's your take on Kendrick, Gigyas? I'm far from an expert on rap, but 'To Pimp A Butterfly' was my favourite album of 2015 by far, independent of genre.
I've mostly been exposed to popular rappers, and my personal favs include Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes. Back in the 90s, both were doing some less conventional things on their albums.
