Whose the best rapper ever? curious what the forum likes

P4P All Time......Has to be Tupac.I mean look at the legacy he left and all he accomplished......Most of all don't forget he did all of this before he died at age 25

183. Wayne

:lol1: :lol1:

To me it's Nas clearly embodies what hip hop is about. And can wrtie about almost any topic and still be enjoyable to listen to.

How anyone can place the so called "best rapper alive" in the same sentence as Pac, Big or Jay Z for that matter is beyond me.

I't what hip hop has come to.....Pretty sad when a cat like Wayne can try and make that claim with little resisitence from the so called hip hop heads of this new generation.Not saying Wayne isn't tight because I do like some of his **** but he is nowhere near the others mentions as you've said.

its beyond me too.. but i know theres some wayne huggers out there so i thoguth id include em

Anyone stupid enough to put Wayne in the top 100 greatest emcee's needs their head checked.

But fix, I hate your lists bro...Chuck D at 3? Ugh.....

If anybody picks wayne they deserve to DIE!

Tha Mobb is the dopest **** Wayne has ever done....and that seems average to the other big boys on the poll.

Lil Wayne/Jay Z are the best rappers alive....
TI is the King of the South....
Lil John is the King of Crunk......
Lil Scrappy is the Prince of Crunk....
Outkast is the great duo ever...
Michael Jackson in the King of Pop....
NWA are the founding father of Gansta Rap....
LL Cool J is the ****.....

no one has stepped up to challenge that so it is what it is....

Lil Wayne drops better mix tape verses than 90% of the artist today & yesterday...

2pac is P4P...btw why the **** is Wayne on that list?

eminem is the best rapper alive, period.

Lil Wayne/Jay Z are the best rappers alive....
TI is the King of the South....
Lil John is the King of Crunk......
Lil Scrappy is the Prince of Crunk....
Outkast is the great duo ever...
Michael Jackson in the King of Pop....

LL Cool J is the ****.....

no one has stepped up to challenge that so it is what it is....

I would heavily dispute those claims......Wayne does not belong in the same breath as Jay......unless we are talking record sales down the road.

Rakim/Nas are the best rappers alive.
Lil Wayne is the King of the South
Whoever you want is the King of Crunk, I don't care.
Whoever you want is the Prince of Crunk, I don't care.
Eric B and Rakim is the greatest Duo of all time
Michael Jackson is the King Of Pop.
Kool G Rap is the father of gangsta rap (NWA popularized it)
L.L. Cool J is played out, but he is still one of the best battle emcess in the game.

Jay Z by some distance.

2pac. imagine bein grafittied on walls in houses in africa when the village has no electricity. now that's impact. its been ten years since he dies and his **** is till poppin. biggie has that but not the worldwide impact 2pac has.

Chuck D is top half dozen or so for me too...

This poll is like "Who's the greatest pro wrestler of all time..." and the choices are Lou Thesz, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan...and Bradshaw

Biggie Smalls was in a league of his own, fo sure!!!!

I would heavily dispute those claims......Wayne does not belong in the same breath as Jay......unless we are talking record sales down the road.
Raesaad & res,

I'm saying that these artist have stake these claims and no other artist has challenged it. Not my personal opinion but that of the industry.

Why the hell is Wayne on this list? I know a lot of you guys like him but really though, he's garbage.

2Pac P4P!

Big....pac is a close 2nd

I've heard of Biggie and 2pac being graffitied toegether on walls by tribes in Africa.

But i think it's a car before the horse kind of thing. The reason i think they are celebrated by them is because they were blacks that had become legendary here (and thereofre achieved alot). That brings us to the fact that the reaon they have become as legendary as they are here is atleast in part because they have been murdered.

Wayne isn't garbage but he certainly has no business on this poll.

tupac was more versatile a lyricist than the others a better perfomer than the others so it pac.

This poll is like "Who's the greatest pro wrestler of all time..." and the choices are Lou Thesz, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan...and Bradshawyeah, of course when stev eaustin is the greatest wrestler of all time, bradshaw and wayned should never be put in a list like this until they prove otherwise. now, my pick was eminem because how much of a master lyricist he is, how he revolutionized hip hop, how he killed jay on his own ****, how he moved units, the highest selling hip hop artist of all time, how he rides a beat, how he accentuates his words and rhyme schemes, yeah, em is the greatest rapper alive, bar none. i don't see any other mainstream rapper ****ing with eminem on any level. can they outrap him? **** no, jay can't. em is a better lyricist than tupac. em flows way better than biggie, no doubt. jay may have been more consistent, but he was killed on his own ****. people remember renegades because of eminem mostly. he will get his props whether you people like it or not. rap is an artform just as much as a business, and no other rapper alive has put as much into this game as eminem. he takes every ****ing lyric seriously no matter what the content is, he knows what sells, and he knows what sounds good. you tell me what other rapper can make a song about killing his mom and wife sound superior, because of the rhymescheme other than eminem. this kid has more skill than any mainstream rapper alive today and still going including nas, who is an all time great, including lil wayne(which em should have more than seeing how wayne will never be on em's level, ever.), including 50, ti, ludacris, snoop, whoever, em is overall the superior mc.

Eminem has always been wack, and his career now is pretty much over.

i actually agree with this garbage. just kidding res, how you been boy? you watching the fight tonight? who you got?

nah don't think i'll get a chance to see it.

Floyd is my sentimental favorite. I wouldn't bet on this one, but if i had to, i would say Hatton.

Floyd COULD win but he would have to apply a specific game plan strictly and stick with it. Hatton however is always on, so for me it leans in his favour. I'm rooting for Floyd though.

if people think waynes the best thats the time we know hip-hop is dead

I'm a big fan of Em, he is lyrical but he has fallen off big time now, last two albums were ridiculously ****.

I'm a big fan of Em, he is lyrical but he has fallen off big time now, last two albums were ridiculously ****.actually, you really cannot count thr re-up as his album as he introduced new artists on it mainly and only had 6 songs where he spit, and the re-up was not a bad album imo and em spit crazy on it. and, encore wasn't that bad like people say, it was just not like his other 3 albums. i feel he ran out of things to talk about, but wait until 2008, em will take over hip hop again, trust me. he is the truth.

all wayne does is force metaphors

pac.............

Wow, bad prediction. Probably had something to do with the fact that I've seen 3 times more hatton fights than Floyd fights (which is one of the reason why i hardly ever answer any of the Mayweather threads on the main boxing forums).

Now out of the three rappers actually on the poll I would pick Big.
Only other answer I would respect is Pac, but I say Big tops pac..

Raesaad & res,

I'm saying that these artist have stake these claims and no other artist has challenged it. Not my personal opinion but that of the industry.

goes to show the state of the industry......

tupac was more versatile a lyricist than the others a better perfomer than the others so it pac.

no doubt....the movies,the variety of songs,the appeal to nearly everyone,rich,poor.black,white,male ,female.....the list goes on....


In fact said it long before all these candy asses started doing it....."rap for the *****es,because the *****s buy what the *****es want" and he did it by still being real and not coming off as a ***** ass.
