The best rapper of alltime?
- Thread starter laxe
- Start date
I cannot stand 99% of rap either but I think Eminems earlier stuff was good
Wow you sir need some Hip-Hop lessons, not even mentionning Rakim or Nas ?
Both of them are way more important and more skilled than Tupac or Biggie.
Anyways, I'd say :
1. Rakim
2. Nas
3. Eminem
4. KRS-ONE
5. Notorious B.I.G.
6. Common
7. Tupac Shakur
8. Prodigy (from Mobb Deep)
9. Ice Cube
10. Jay-Z (over-rated but still one of the best ever)
11. Andre 3000 (from OutKast)
12. AZ
13. GZA aka Genius (from the Wu)
14. Pharoahe Monch
15. Lupe Fiasco
16. Masta Ace
17. Kanye West (very very under rated, one of the genius of hip-hop, musically and lyrically)
18. Talib Kweli
19. Q-Tip (from A Tribe Called Quest)
20. Scarface
21. Raekwon (from the Wu)
22. Lil' Wayne
23. T.I.
24. RZA (from the Wu)
25. Mos Def
26. 50 Cent
27. Method Man
28. Big L
Now I might have forgot some...
Most slept-on rapper ever : AZ (really skilled but hasn't done so much classic, didn't have the chance to work with the best producers)

Try comparing The Game lyrics and Lil Wayne lyrics, he's waaaaaay more creative and imaginative, not always talking about guns, weed and impala's.
Lil' Wayne proved himself, wake me up the day The Game releases something like "A Milli", which is one of the best performance in Hip-Hop in years.
lol Are you kidding man ? Dr. Dre is on nobody's list, he's a producer, he always has been ghostwrited by Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg and Eminem.
Nas raps about nothing ? WOW That might be the most ignorant statement ever said. Take a listen to Illmatic, see if it talks about nothing. Plus, every songs he made for the black cause, on It Was Written (one of major classics of Hip-Hop), Stillmatic, God's Son.
Eminem brang so much sensitivity to the game, how can you say he raps about nothing, man you're trolling. His characters are numerous and complex.
Same thing for Kanye, he has a lot of sides to show. The College Drop-out (first album) will show you the real Kanye West.

Eminem is the best in the world. He has an ability to rap about any type of subject that few rappers have. Could 50-Cent have written Stan? Not likely.
Yeah, truly one of the best ever.
Take a listen to "Infinite", it's all about his ability to play with words, he's just a genius in that sense.

Day dreamin yesterday,dozin off backstage,
i thought i saw eazy talkin to jammaster J,
so i walked over and heard jammaster say,
its a hard knock life,then you past away
Haha, that's not good at all.
First, there's no depths at all, he doesn't even bring rhymes with "backstage" on further lines, and even repeats "jammaster" two times, when it still has the same meaning. No great wordplay, no ingenious rhymes. Yeah right, it's always finishing in "ay" but it was just so evident using words that actually finishes with "ay" (most rappers can find other ways to rhyme).
Also, only the ending of his lines are rhymes, he didn't put any other patterns in it.
