What do you mean by really slow? There is a lot of great rap that has a very laid back, conversational pace to it.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

You are not. Metacritic does not lie:

1. Music: Blacklisted by Neko Case (2002) 82
Bloodshot

2. Music: The Tigers Have Spoken by Neko Case (2004) 80
Anti

3. Music: Fox Confessor Brings The Flood by Neko Case (2006) 84
Anti

4. Music: Middle Cyclone by Neko Case (2009) 79
Anti

You crotchety bastard... How can you not like the old PE, NWA, Beasties, Boogie Down Productions stuff? I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the new stuff, but the old shit's great. It's like classic rock. Ages as well as old Judas Priest, Clash, Sabbath, etc...

Didn't know that. Examples?

Most rap has so many words in so short a space I can't listen fast enough. Most of the stuff that is slow enough for me to understand sounds lame.

This one is on the brink of being too fast for me to catch.

But I learned not all rap is fast. Helpful Friday indeed, you dope growing Hmong!

Translation: I don't ever listen to rap music.

Off the top of my head:

Rebirth of Slick (Cool like dat) - Digable Planets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK-JkHDAW7A
Tower with the Power - YZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSrC1b_1C0w
Hard Knock Life - Jay Z http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxtn6-XQupM
Bonita Applebum - Tribe Called Quest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-j-DCz_V3U
One more Chance - Biggie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=132OAFRqoFI
Eye Know - De La Soul Can't find on youtube, but I'm sure you would like this song
Passin' Me By - Pharcyde http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjWG1h5j4eE

I could do this all day. There are countless rap songs that are easy to follow. Just because you're not interested in finding them doesn't mean they don't exist.
