I know taste isn't something to be discussed about, but your list is bit too weird.
Mixing "rappers" like Wayne and Drake with Pac, or even MGK.
I listened of all but Mac Miller but know him.
HipHop/Rap is also my favorite genre, but I prefer more underground rappers/ and MC battlers. I really enjoyed Em and 50 before, but now I'm more into less mainstream stuff and mostly Asian rappers recently Jin, DFD, Lil'Crazed and such.
Going to old school - I listen to allot of Pac, Snoop, some BIG, DRE, NWA - and I really like Ice Cube ;) And many more.
Moral of the story: Mainstream sucks. (read: Young Money)
I've got a lot of time for quality hip-hop, but it's not my main passion. I like what I've heard of 2pac, and I like most things by Eminem and Jay-Z. I like a bit of NWA too. I'm mostly impressed by how clever the lyrics are
EDIT - Now, where's that douchebag musical snob who thinks hip hop isn't music and classical music is the only true musical art form? He's always good for an argument :)

Honestly, I have NO CLUE what could be considered mainstream rap considering the radio stations in my city in a word SUCK! All they play is Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and LMFAO
I mean, everyone has their own taste, I love many other rappers, and it isn't like I have no clue what I'm talking about, I just wanted to hear what everyone thinks, that's all.

at least you not to listen that trash off "reggaeton" men

I second that, but there is a worse thing than reggaeton, cumbia (or they name what they do cumbia), I prefer LMFAO than Wachiturros, I prefer Lady Gaga than La Champions Liga, I even prefer Miley Cirus before MC Caco (and he wants to be called Mac caco, not Emcee or emece)

but I have to say I prefer Batichurros before Rebecca Black
Im old school, Westside connection, MC Ren, Ice Cube, Dr.Dre, Easy E... Tube Socks Shaker...
Does anyone remember 2 live Crew.... they were banned in the USA at one time. and I think they are the reason we have "warning, explicit lyrics" tags on CD's here
BEST RAP LYRICS: Yes, i am weezy but i ain't asthmatic...
