You're missing out on so much good music though. Don't listen to the mainstream shit though, most of that shit is mothafuckas trying to act tough and gangsta. You gotta really search for the good stuff though because its been buried by commercial hip hop. I'll have to add some videos later because I'm on my phone, but just off the top of my head:
Mos Def
Del the Funky Homosapien (also Deltron 3030 which is one of his side groups)
Brother Ali
Talib Kweli
Eyedea & Abilities
El-P
Illogic
Immortal Technique
Murs
A Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
KRS - One
Public Enemy (obviously)
Wu-Tang Clan
There's a bunch more that I know for sure I'm forgetting, but those are some of my favorites.
Also yes, Kanye is a gigantic douche. But his old school stuff is fantastic, hell even as much as I dislike most mainstream music I can't help but like some of his new stuff too. He is an absolute genius but it just went straight to his head.
