When Steve Lacy first started letting people hear Oh yeah?the album was much sadder. “They were sad,” he told me last summer, recalling an early listening session with his label. “They were like, 'All right, now play some happier ones.'

Maybe it’s because so much of the popular music seems so polished and market-tested that to hear rappers get on the mic and truly say whatever the hell they want is essential.Each of the 10 rappers on this list is doing this in their own way, whether that be through the cerebralness of UK road rap, or the way-too-honest hilarity of Arkansas…
