IMO, the work of the artists you have named would be considered to be hip hop as opposed to rap.

Atmosphere has been around for awhile but if you're not from MN or into underground music then you probably know nothing about it. Same w/some of the other ppl/groups you mentioned.


I like Kanye. IMO, his work goes beyond the standard bitches ho's and what have you formula that most of today's rap is plagued by.
