Best rapper alive?

Bane of your existence · 05-15-2009, 05:16 PM

As far as being a true emcee's emcee goes, I'd have to go with Talib. I don't think I could name my favorite.

An extemely underrated rapper is Cam'Ron. He's really really great too.

I despise Cam'Ron. Haha.

I think as far as flow and lyrical content Gift of Gab is one of the better ones who isn't buried so far underground. Tonedeff gets an honorable mention just for the sheer speed at which he can go at, something like 14 syllables a second or something along those lines.

IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE
honorable mentions:
All of wu-tang (NOT Cappadonna, he sucks)
aesop rock
gift of gab
Big boi and Andr'e (only old school ****)
Nasty Nas
Vast Aire and vordul megilah of can ox

I'd have to say Nas just based on the fact that Illmatic would have to be the overall best rap album I've heard, and from what I hear, is widely viewed as one of the best ever. True masterpiece, in my opinion.
