The greatest rap ever?

[roronoa3000]

Ice Ice Baby....anyone who says otherwise just doesn't know good music when they hear it

:sing: Check out the hook, while the DJ revolves it :sing:

Still Don't Give a Fuck by Eminem has some of the best and most complex rhymes I've ever heard.

Eminem's rhyme on 'Renegade'?

Indeed. Pretty much the answer to the question is Eminem.

Not saying the greatest but the new Eminem songs "No Love" and "Won't Back Down".

Slick Rick on Children's Story, Nas on New York State of Mind, Biggie on Somebody Got to die, and I might get some stick for this one, but I still love Canibus on Beast From the East. I remember when I first heard that. I instantly put him up there with Jay Z and Nas but then he turned into hip hop's David Icke. :eek:

I know I already proclaimed the "PAIN IN FULL" album as best ever. and I will stand by that, I am just coming back to say when I 1st heard the EP of "Check out my Melody" & "Eric B is president"

Hip Hop / Rap as we knew it, went to a whole nother level, NOBODY can fuck wit Rakim, NOT eminem, jay z, Nas, biggie or anybody else for that matter.

I'd say Tupac was most definitely in the elite mentions like, eminem, jay z, biggie, Nas, and a couple of others, but IMO none of them can touch Rakim.

For example go get faded like we all do, or should I say most of us like to do when were partying and listening to our favorite music real loud.. (albeit some can listen to there music without any recreational enhancement and still love there music, not many that i know) so once your nice and faded go ahead & turn this MF'er on and turn it up real loud like your playin it for everybody on the block..




Wow EDIT ALEXPNZ posted while I was writing my post, didn't even see his post until after I posted!! great minds think alike!

He's not my favourite rapper, but Eminem's Rabbit Run blew my mind the first time I heard it. No chorus, just rap. And it's fuckin sic.

'm afraid, but why am I afraid, why am I a slave to this trade?
Sign that I'll spit to the grave, real enough to rile you up
Want me to flip it, I can rip it any style you want
I'm-a switch hitter bitch, Jimmy Smith ain't a quitter
I'm-a sit it here 'til I get enough of me to finally hit
a fucking boiling point, put some oil on your joints,
flip the coin bitch, come get destroyed,
an MC's worst dream, I make 'em tense,
they hate me, see me and shake like a chain-linked fence,
by the looks of 'em you would swear that jaws was comin',
by the screams of 'em, you would swear I'm sawin' someone,
by the way they running, you would swear the law was comin',
It's now or never, and tonight it's all or nothing,

^As far as I'm concerned, he is the best rapper ever.
Thats right you Tupac, Rakim, Biggie and Jay-Z fans, I said it.

His rhyme on Lose Yourself is raw as hell too. That song is so dope. One of his best I think.

One of the most legendary hip hop songs in history.

I don't know how I forgot my favorite Nas song. He murked all three of his verses on this one and Premo laced him:

Em is great but I think he may have fell off...kinda like 50 cent.

No argument there. He has fell off a while now.

Can I tell a quick Nas story?

When I was like 17, Nas' I Am came out. I stopped paying attention to rap at that time. So one day my friends and I took the subway to see an ECW show in Queens. There were posters for Nas' CD all over the terminal and in the E and F trains. Well, later on I realized that somebody took out a white paint marker and wrote "a gold plated ******" after the album's title on nearly all of the posters. And his hand writing matched the posters' 100%.

So, for nearly a month, I thought Nas's follow up album was called, "Nas is...a gold plated ******". By 1999, I fell out of love with hip hop and really didn't think much of it. That was the same year that ODB put out ***** Please. It seemed unlikely that Nas would resort to such a dumb album title, but man those posters were convincing.

Marshal Mathers LP was his high point. I still think he has the best battle rap in history when he tore 'Zino and the Source a new ass:





Em straight murked that track.
