I see all the rap threads going around, so i will make my own. In your opinion, who do you class as being the best rapper of all time? also, give your resons. In my opinion it would have to be the boys from N.W.A, but when they stopped making music because of deaths i still listened. I dont listen to dre any more, but i still listen to Eazy, MC Ren and Dj Yella. i think their the best band because their lyrics are awesome, their rhyming skills are amazing, and i havn't heard of another band like them. I like lively rap, not rap where the rapper sounds depressed, like 50 Cent, Or Kanye West. I also think Tupac is great. he didnt just rap about guns, drugs, cars and sex like the others, he rapped about his life, and things that are going on in the world, listen to changes to finds out what i mean. I still listen to Tupac now after his "death". who here disagrees with anything i said? i will be pleased to start an argument lol. anyway, what do you think?
NWA were average rappers... IMO, eazy-e didnt have much skill but he had some good music.. he had the rhymes of a grade 2 kid.. the man was illiterate but he had some good songs
I like the way that hes different to other rappers, his voice is unique, sounds like hes a kid, gives him a reason to rhyme like one. but i think his lyrics were amazing, and still are today. i do admit, some of his songs had the odd word that didnt go together, but so do most rappers. EDIT: 50 Cent and Eminem are wannabe rappers. IMO the only REAL rappers are the ones that are original, and have been around a long time. like tupac or N.W.A. cypress hill have een around for quite a while too.
eminem is definitely not a wannabe rapper 50 cent and eminem were both good... but now, they're washed up 50 cent isnt even a rapper anymore, its an object what kind of gangster gets put into video games and movies? eminem made a movie which was cool but come on... a video game?
50 cent: bullet prrof is a way to try and make him look hard. but its not gonna word until he stops wearing that stupid hat, and has his buck teeth cut down to size. IMO he should be called 50 Buck! *drumroll* lol and i used to love emeinem before he started producing his own ---- and bought out Encore. Rappers were in Def Jam FFNY obviously, i dont think any less of them though, i maybe think more of em as i have heard some more music by them.
RAKIM is still known as one of the best emcees/rappers of all time. But, here is my listing, in no particular order. 1. Rakim 2. Andre' 3000 3. Nas 4. Eminem 5. LL Cool J 6. Busta Rhymes 7. 2Pac 8. Big Daddy Kane 9. Da Brat 10. Twista 11. Antoinette 12. MC Lyte 13. Large Professor 14. Big Pun 15. Notorious Big 16. Snoop Doggy Dogg (in his early days) 17. Lauren Hill 18. Daddy Freddie 19. Steady B. 20. Will Smith I have more, but, these are some that I'm most familiar with. HONORABLE MENTIONS: 1. Ice T. 2. Ice Cube 3. Ludacris 4. Missy Elliot 5. TimbaLand 6. Jay Z 7. Queen Latifah 8. Wise Culture 9. MosDef 10. Grand Master Melly Mel What ever happened to Poor Righteous Teachers? Rock This Funky Joint was the schizznit!
I dont care what you say, say what ever you want BuT Eminem is my favorite rapper and i think his the best yet.... hes not a wannabe hes cool good and great Rapper
50 cent is such a sell out. People who consider him one of the best rappers need to sit down and truely listen to one of his songs. I guerentee it will say G-G-G-G-G-G--G-UNIT at least 37 times. IMO, Tupac is and will forever be the greatest rapper of all time. If I had to pick somebody from this time though, I'd probably say Game. I love his work.
mi favorite prolly O.D.B., Outkast way back forgot the rapper, they were fcking fast, uhhh Busta Rhymes way back, the best rappers rite now, are prolly the Game and Kanye West, the rest are sh*t, rap just isn't wat it use to be i mean comon Lil'Jon <_<
Heres a few that i can think of right now Tupac Busta Rhymes Nas Eminem Twista Notorious Big Snoop dogg (old and a few new) The game 50 Cent Ludacris (some songs) Tony yayo (has a few good songs, not all rap) Jay Z Ice Cube ICE ICE BABY phat tune hmmm i know theres more, i cant think of them right now...
