Missy is the shit so just face it. You immediately dismissed her without even knowing her music. You had to do a search on yahoo. So in my mind I realize you know nothing of the Rap genre. Funny you only mention Run DMC after I typed it in. What do you think of Biggie he sang of silly shit too. Yet is still reveared as excellent rapper. Okay lemme wait for you go do another search...............

it's not rap music as a whole. it's today's rap. it's god-awful, so mindless, it's a gob of spit in the face of what it started out being. yes, you're music-savvy because you know run DMC... get a clue. face it, the rap of the late seventies and early 80s had some relevance because of the causes it was addressing, and because it was the voice of the people cutting through fogs of social injustice. today's rap? missy elliott going on and on about how cool she is while AMAZINGLY produced pseudo-percussive beats and all kinds of samples plays in the background against an annoyingly steady bass line... what the FUCK relevance has that got?
i couldn't care less about B.I.G., puff daddy, tupac and the whole east side/west side bad-boyz counterculture of the 90s. and i think nobody who ever really knew shit cared either.
fuck... i even used to like LL cool J.
face facts. you might like it cause its fun, brainless, "tee-hee-hee, this is so fun!" party music, but in the grand scheme of things, in the grand scheme of music, in the grand scheme of ART, its hardly worth the material the lyric sheets are printed on.
and unlike you and your supernatural ability to memorize the lyrics to every artist's song ever, i do have to search through AZ lyrics to get some words right.
also, unlike you, i don't assume things about other people's musical knowledge.

Missy is talented but pretty oversaturated.

Has everyone forgotten about Enigma? Ok, so they've vanished with the last millenium...

ART, n. This word has no definition. Its origin is related as follows by the ingenious Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J. One day a wag -- what would the wretch be at? -- Shifted a letter of the cipher RAT, And said it was a god's name! Straight arose Fantastic priests and postulants (with shows, And mysteries, and mummeries, and hymns, And disputations dire that lamed their limbs) To serve his temple and maintain the fires, Expound the law, manipulate the wires. Amazed, the populace that rites attend, Believe whate'er they cannot comprehend, And, inly edified to learn that two Half-hairs joined so and so (as Art can do) Have sweeter values and a grace more fit Than Nature's hairs that never have been split, Bring cates and wines for sacrificial feasts, And sell their garments to support the priests.

Evanescence Electric Six Elastica Eurythmics Eagles Eminem Missy Elliot Explosions in the Sky Elvis (if he counts)

I can't hold high hopes for my nomination Explosions In The Sky because, wonderful as they are, I'm afraid too little people here actually know them

I'm actually rooting for Elastica now. I don't own any of their albums but recently saw a recording of a performance of theirs live at the astoria from like 10 years ago and it was stunning.
