Any autistic rap fans here?

I've never come across another nerodivergant person whose into rap music.
I love it as it's a modern form of poetry. And sometimes the beat just hits right.

Do you like rap music?
Who is your favourite rap artist?

I like quite a bit of hip-hop.

I like R.A. The Rugged Man, Necro, Mobb Deep, Big L, Outsidaz and a bunch more.

I know of mobb deep. The others I've never heard of, but I'm loving what I'm learning of, especially outsidaz.

Depends whose rapping.

I don't like newer rap music, but I do like the older 90s stuff! Little Brother, 2Pac, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, Camp Lo, Gang Starr, etc. come to mind. My dad played it a lot while I was growing up, so I'm rather fond of it.

TBH I'll third that - ie. Prodigy and Havoc (Mobb Deep) probably have my favorite rhyme schemes (plus great voices - also RIP Prodigy) and Havoc's done a lot of amazing things with production whether his 'You Are My Starship' (Norman Connors) rework on 'Trife Life' or just so many of the other beats on Da Infamous and Hell On Earth.

Someone else hip hop lost sadly quite early, mega talent IMHO (very similar to ODB) would be Too Poetic / The Grym Reaper. I was just listening to 'Nowhere to Run' and got a great reminder of how he was able to bounce off the walls lyrically and thematically - like some real Bruce Lee 'way of no way' stuff. I guess he passed in 2001 from cancer? Sucks seeing that happen to people that early - especially with that much talent.
