Big, pac, big l, jay z , nas
z7-Rain : D Block is a rly good rapper, cosmo : mobb deep is a rly good rapper, cosmo : that song notorious thugs by bone and andre nickatana is sick

its BIG L and he got shot in the face a few years ago while he was still relatively unknown. the thing that sucks about rap is u really arent recognized as being "one of the greatest" until after u die =[

Tupac and B.I.G- Just good all around
Eminem- One of the few rappers who isn't constantly talking about a hoe he smacks, cars he has, the "ice" hanging around his neck. =P Actually comes up w/ original stuff.
Beats and Producer- Dr.Dre and Timba
My personal fave- E-40, his lyrics are hilarious, original,fast and tight.

u mock puffy(not that i blame u), but then mention biggy as one of the greatest. but who was behind biggy? u say you are not judging by record sales, but how many records have big, pac, jay z and nas sold? and gza's liquid sword, is probably one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

LMAO Hovz...you think that every song on Liquid Swords sounds the same?? how about every piece of shit song Jay-Z has ever written...he makes absolutely no sense in any of his songs...especially that H-O-V-A garbage song that you take your name from...he sounds like he has downs syndrome when he raps

1st off Pac is a cut above the rest

And also theres rappers that have done one good thing or have pontential that u guys are puttin on the list...for instance canibus.. he can be good but he aint even no where near there yet. so here goes my list. another thing too, i hate it when ppl include them old skoo fuckers like run dmc and so on..ya they blazed the trail for rap, that dont mean they good...thats all they did! i hate it when ppl put them on greatest of all time lists. only scarface and a few others can make the top
