Greatest rappers of all time
 

Who in your opinion is the greatest rapper of all time? Do you agree with this list? SO many great rappers on here...Tupac, Biggie, Eminem, Ice Cube, DMX, Dr. Dre....the list goes on and on.

The Best Rappers of All Time Ranked by Hip-Hop Fans

Awful list.

Im not a huge hip hop fan but for me it's Wu tang.

And according to that list Eminem is ranked #2 and Biggie #3, yet Tupac is #1. wtf??

Rofl T.I.

At least almost all of the rappers on the list are pretty decent other than him and Ludacris. Still not the best top 50 I've seen.

Aesop is 111 and has more thumbs down than thumbs up.

I'm calling bullshit.

#10 - Andre 3000
#26 - Outkast
#41 - Big Boi

uhh....lol??


Run DMC at #27...good rapper was he, Run DMC?


also any top 50 rappers list that doesn't include Kool G Rap isn't worth the liquid crystal it's displayed on.

Horrible list.


Jay Z, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Andre 3000, and Ice Cube should not be in the Top 10.

Tupac, Nas, Rakim deserve to be in the Top 10.

Wu Tang, NWA, and Krs One should be ranked much higher.

So Ice Cube is overrated?

How come?

No.


He is not overrated.

This is the first time I have ever seen him ranked in a Top 10 best rapper list.


Just because he is underrated does not mean he is a Top 10 rapper.

I think he definitely deserves to be ranked on a greatest rappers list but not in the Top 10.

Biggie owns. Glad to see he hasn't been forgotten. Flow sick as hell.

im probably going to be hated for this but i never saw why people liked him so much. I never listened to what made him so amazing, could you answer for me? Peronally I Never liked any of his songs besides hate me now

dude outkast is no where near better than Big boi. Andre3000 is still better than both though :laughing:
most people in my age range would have said lil wayne....or cheif keef :(

I love Andre 3000 and Outkast. I just personally would not rank him in the Top 10. There are some rappers that deserve to be ranked higher than him

I love him.He is one of the greatest lyrists/songwriters/MC's of all time. His beats are kinda meh but he kills on the mic. I love his diction, metaphors and the way he puts his words together. I think he is a genius when it comes to word play and coming up with lyrics. His contemporaries/peers of his era don't compare.

Fair enough. He would probably be in my top 10 tbh. Maybe top 1.

Maybe Top 1 lol I like that :)

:p:

I don't understand how this list is made, just based on votes? It looks to me like it's more of a popularity contest than anything else.

I don't have a lot of knowledge about rap cause I mainly listen to new stuff, but I do have a few thoughts on the ones I listen to.


Jay Z should absolutely not be in the top 10

Of any rap artist, I think Nas should be number 1

Em and Tupac for sure should be in the top 10

Lil Wayne is far too low. I do not think he is top 20 worthy, but Dedication 2 was great and he deserves to be higher than 50.

Much of life IS a popularity contest :p:

they choose presidents that way so im not surprised they choose their fav rappers that way too.

i tell you what i do find surprising, how they still keep sucking Tupac's dick even after he is dead, same with Biggie, don't get me wrong they were great but enough is ENOUGH ppl act like rap and Hip hop can do no better than them, like EVER.

I do think they belong on the list and that they do deserve credit for all they did, but i certainly don't think they are the prototype of what a rapper should be.

on Illmatic he is awesome. I've never thought he came anywhere near to achieving that level of lyricism or flow again. even by his next album It Was Written he already sounds a bit bored, and not as good lyrically.

however his latest album Life Is Good is probably the best he has sounded on the mic since Illmatic imo

Pfft, If Nas was more consistent then he would be number 1. Plus this is just a list from fans of course it's a popularity contest.

It's popular to hate on Lil Wayne so of course he's going to be lower on the list. I agree with you on Dedication 2 and also the first two Carter albums.

50 cent ranked higher than Wu Tang? DMX in the top 20? LOL

Also Mos Def should be at least in the top 5

If you think about it from a casual hip hop fan point of view it makes sense. I agree about Mos Def but he doesn't have a huge following.

Yeah your absolutely right but this list is still pretty lul worthy :3

Just noticrd Lauryn Hill at 49 thats not accurate either. The Fugees should be here. And high. We should do one of these for MB. I think we could all make a much brtter list :thumb:

We did do one. it was a long pain staking process. I'm going to look around for the main thread on it and of course it's years old.
