Biggie, MF Doom, and Arrested Development blow everything else on this thread out of the water.

Because he's a rapist?

Who cares what they did? As long as the music is good I'll listen to rapists, serial killers, whatever. And i probably do.

best rappers
 

I dont think I saw anyone make mention to Hierglyphics. Del tha funky homosapien rox.
and ill agree that Wu tang is amazing. 36 chambers changed my life, and no one can eff with the majesty that is Rzza.
Tribe Called Quest is amazing too.
as far as individual rappers,
common
Whoever said T.I. was makin a name for himself, theyre right. hes freakin good.
method man
i dont care what anyone says eminem is awesome and original.
dre and snoop of course
but why doesnt anyone remember Pharcyde? When I hear Pharcyde it always brings back memories, and good ones too.
Kid rock SUX hes not even a rapper technically speaking, and ICP is only good for comic relief.

Because he molested little girls.


I didn't say he doesn't make good music.
But I have no respect for the man.

Even though the first two have been mentioned several thousand times and the third is just above mediocre.

I find Arrested pretty amazing actually. A lot better than T.I. Method Man LL Cool J, and many of the others that have been listed.

Most of what's been listed is ****, so you'll get no argument there.
