Recommend me some artists (rap/hip-hop)

[in-sufficientdata]

So I've recently been exploring music genres I'm less familiar with and I'm finding I enjoy some rap and hip-hop music, but as with any other genre my taste is both eclectic and specific in a way where I usually like less than 50% of any given musician's catalogue. So with a little help from wikipedia I'm going to list some things I've found I enjoy below, and hopefully you can give me some recs for artists to check out, or even specific songs that align with my taste.

• Golden age hip-hop
  Likes: (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) by The Beastie Boys, I Want You by LL Cool J
  Dislikes: One Shot At Love and I'm Bad by LL Cool J
• New jack swing
  Likes: My Prerogative by Bobby Brown
• Trap music: I HATE TRAP DRUMS
• Modern hip-hop:
  Likes: I like most of Lil Nas X's stuff as long as it's not using a trap beat. I *adore* Industry Baby and play it on loop a lot.
• Pop-rap:
  Likes: U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer, Fantasy by Mariah Carey, Thrift Shop by Macklemore, Umbrella by Rihanna
• Gangsta rap:
  Likes: Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio, No Church in the Wild by Kanye & Jay-Z, Lose Yourself and Not Afraid by Eminem, Say What You Want (All Day Every Day) by Wu-Tang Clan
• Modern indie:
  Likes: 317.323 by Smile High and The Main Squeeze

I’m interested why do you hate trap element rap? Especially when trap music itself is in every single thing associated with music nowadays.

It might just depend on the rapidity of the drum taps but when it's triple taps per beat or more, it feels overwhelming, and after around half a minute of the song or so I have to hit skip.

BTW I apparently messed up somehow and removed my dislikes. It must have been when I was trying to fix the coding (I attempted to nest bullet point lists but it messed the coding all up and wouldn't let me do it). The main point that's missing is I'm bothered by songs that are deeply violent, especially toward women, and that have a lot of repeated use of the N word. I don't dispute Black people have a right to use it but I feel like I'm spying on something I shouldn't be when I hear it over and over, or something like that. It makes me uncomfortable.
