That should, of course, read competent.

Are there any glaring omissions?No, I think you have sufficiently covered the tiny, little-known genre known as rap.

If by "competent" you mean "are these all rap songs," i'd say yes, more or less.

you have most of the big hitters there, hardly any really glaring omissions, really, other than snoop. well, and jay-z and eminem and dre and luda and scarface. and big l. thats about it. well, unless you count tupac and big. other than those and beanie sigel, three six mafia, lil jon, david banner, ying yang twins, nelly, nwa, mobb deep and busta rhymes, i think you have most of the big ones. though you might want to think about missy elliot, or eve, or ja rule. jadakiss even! 50 cent, or the game, might make a quirky edition, though i'm not sure either count as big enough to be an omission as such, but they are getting big now! you could chuck in slick rick, perhaps or run dmc, or the pharcyde, or TI, or pastor troy. there may be a couple of others now, hip hop has got quite big this last couple of decades, they may even be more!!

Pretty stellar looking collection there, mate.

The Geto Boys seem like a weird curveball after 14 tracks of backpacker stuff.

Wu PE Tribe and Pharcyde're pretty much as good as whiteliked Hiphop gets, but um.

seems weird not to have "signifying rapper", which seems to fit your breed
