Biggie smalls, dmx, early Eminem, ying yang twins, jadakiss, busta rhymes, ace hood, gorilla black, luda, jz, snoop dog, tech9, early wiz, Gucci mane, 50 cent(rich or die trying), outcast, beastie boys. The list goes on and on. If you want to experience rap, and find the more classic rap like Big L and wu tang, unenterntaining, just look up the top songs of those artists, and you'll basically get the best rap experience you can get. Listening to brand new rappers only, a lot of it isn't even rap. Lil yachty, does not really rap. The list I gave you is a pretty well generalized one that will give you the best of the best of each type of rap, most types. Hear different flows and then you will see why so many rapper today sound the same. Listen to biggie, then luda, then busta rhymes. So different. You could recognize their songs the second they uttered a word. Now I gotta look up who a song is by, i can't even distinguish their voices, when they just say... ya, ya, ya, roll it, ya, ya
