Just because I pick artists I liked (that is the idea of fav artist) instead of trying to look 'cool' by picking obscure or predictable artists I get these responses... Yep typical rap listeners

It's not about trying to look cool, it's more to do with those 'artists' being absolute vacuous garbage.
But hey, you like what you like.
Artist - A Tribe called quest.
Why? - Funky. 90's awesomeness too.
Best Album - Midnight Marauders. The Anthology.
Like a Boomerang, I always come back to them/ATCQ
There's a new-ish group that I like too called doppelgangaz. Kinda funny stuff with good tracks too.

Come on dude, Pitbull? I'm honestly struggling to think of a more awful 'artist'. All he seems to do is say his name at the start of other people's tracks and then come up with some utterly shocking lyrics to ruin it further.
I'm gonna list my favourite group of all time, then my favourite solo artist just now (can't decide on all time)
For group it'd be The Beastie Boys, I love their style and I've been pretty much brought up liking them through my parents
(although wu tang clan and atcq are close behind)
My favourite album is difficult to choose, I think it'd be Hello Nasty on top probably
For my favourite solo artist just now it is probably MF Doom currently, as every album of his that I listen to I really like, I just really like his style of rap and his varying beats etc between his many different aliases.
My favourite album that MF Doom has done definitely has to be Danger Doom

versus completely random lyrics of other rappers or boasting about gangs/being rich/women attributes....90% of current manstream music takes samples from old music,rap and hip hop have been doing this for decades. If you judge a song based on that one element you rule out 90% of the genre
Like I said you said favourite rap/hip hop artists and I lisen to what I like, not what other people say is good, I make my own mind up, besides if I had a choice of what to listen to rap would not be my first choice.
oh and it's funny that you haven't said your fav's...

It's nothing to do with 'being cool' or anything like that. You can like those artists, just don't ever try and convince me that Pitbull is anything other than a cancer upon real music.
I mean, in one sense, it's amazing that artists manage to find a level below 'scraping the barrel', it almost deserves credit. See Drake and/or that Canadian ponce that Legolas tried to punch.

Isn't this about women anyway and to an extent money?
.Now.... how does this even compare to;
What makes artists, is that they make music for the message, they challenge and educate along side entertainment, not just about the money. Immortal Technique even has song's about it
.It's like comparing someone like Bieber to Bob Dylan.
Hell, Pitbull isn't even in the same league as someone like Technique, it's not even the same sodding sport man.

Have to agree Return to the 36 Chambers is one of my all-time favourite albums, I still listen to most of the Wu-Tang stuff whereas stuff like PE seems to have aged and I don't listen to it so much anymore (plus all my PE albums are on vinyl which is a bit awkward to play at the mo).
Also rate Qtip and Busta Rhymes from the old skool.

My experience of hip-hop/rap is severely limited, but I have to say one of my favourites is Dälek.
Everything they've done is seriously good, never afraid to mix up the perceived musical envelope of hip-hop. Their collaborations with Techno Animal and Faust are some standouts, but their albums are equally as brilliant.
