The top song was an Imagine Dragons song which was confusing. Rest is ok. Kinda monotone voice hard to hear what he's saying and the beats are really boring/derivative. (Enemy, Van Gogh, Dance Now)

Great, high energy, beats have some uniqueness to them, full of personality, seem like they're actually interested in recording the song. (Legend Has It, Nobody Speak)

his library is so diverse that you are bound to find something you like in his music. especially since you like those artists in your OP.

Yeah I mean I've listened to Eminem before. Not much going on there since The Eminem Show.

Out of curiosity, which Lupe Fiasco songs did you listen to? He's been around for a while, so he's got a huge catalogue. The song that put him on a lot of people's radar was 'Hip Hop Saved My Life' where he tells the story of rapper trying to make it big (dedicated to Bun B, but based on rapper Slim Thug).

But my favorite track from him is 'Dumb it Down'. Basically a track saying he's not gonna dumb down his songs just to get more radio play. Great lyrics

https://youtu.be/gsi8ZT_mCn4?si=Gn_gvm9Cmb3g8QoB

Also recommend checking out his 2018 Album Drogas Wave. It was full of great tracks. My favorite being 'King Nas'

I think just Battle Scars and the one you just linked. His delivery seems uncannily like that of Lin Manuel Miranda.

Battle Scars is off the album he didn't really want to make IIRC.

Try his first album "Food and Liquor" or "The Cool" album. Streets On Fire and Put You On Game are probably the tracks I like the most off The Cool.

Also I'll just leave this here because it's funny.

Handlebars isn't even anywhere close to one of their best tracks tbh. I really like them, I can't think of anyone else that sounds even vaguely like them.

Oh another one just came to mind. It's well known, so you may have already heard it, but 'Hip Hop' by Dead Prez

https://youtu.be/oiusDE0KND8?si=zJSXLeVbg6t44V1A

And another popular 90's group, Bone Thugs n Harmony

Depending on how nerdy you like stuff there's also Dan Bull (his Civilization rap is incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=addABbm5VPo, and the one he did for Far Cry Primal was also really cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b9AmWESIqI), and Badministrator (who only(?) does League of Legends themed tracks but I swear to god most of them are bangers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU21amdv4MM).

There's lots of mashup artists that use rap and hiphop over VG and anime stuff (or the reverse) sometimes. TripleQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0YoUh0SjWc), BotanicSage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdStykYFpf4), and Nankinkyo (this is a full album that's nothing but hip hop over Gravity Rush tracks https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHxkOfbehZbgCttK_L1rtqz9qjYsmKmDd).

Some of it's dumb as hell, but most of it is way more catchy than it has any right to be. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzS6W80gLWI

God I'm listening to Dan Bull stuff I haven't in ages and it's still as good as ever. Wild.
