This thread is supposed to be "best rappers of all time" not "most popular rappers of all time". I'm sorry but these lists for the most part all suck ass. It's not about who has the most Singles put out or big hits, fuck 50 cent and Jay Z they are WAY TOO OVER RATED. You have to take into consideration written and freestyle as well as style,who produces and who doesn't etc.. I'm not even gonna BOTHER posting my own list because none of you would reconize anyone on it =[ THOUGH i really do like some D12, Wu tang, Cypress and Flipmode i think some of those groups were mentioned Cannibus too is pretty good. ( I dunno if i'd put any of those on a top 5 list maybe select wu tang members). I guess everyone has different taste and appreciates certain things.I don't mean to offend anyone's taste in music i just really DONT LIKE alot of the artists mentioned.

While HovZ uses nothing but opinions as support, I have VH1's 100 Greatest Rappers to back my claim. Answer: 2pac.

I know this will sound follish and stupid, and as a matter of fact it is, well maybe non-americans wont find it that stupid... but reading de topic name I though of rappers as ppl who RAPE other ppl, I was "wtf??? is there a top 10 for this as well?" ok ok it took me about 10 seconds to realize how dumb I am lol.... I had to share this...
it all returns to nothing...and only truth can really set us free.

how can you people admire someone like eminem? he's not even an artist, it's just a machine designed to transport money out of your pockets.

Puff daddy? how do you sleep at night when you actually like that guy?

no wonder some people don't give rap a chance.. when someone says rap, people think of eminem and puff daddy?

i wonder how many people are going to list "britney spears" or "christina aguilera" when someone starts a "best pop artists"-thread. I think it's sad when people can't see that eminem is just another britney.
No plz only LT.. no not TvT.. no.. ok cancel?

Hovz if u wanna talk freestyle battlin then trust me Canibus is prolly the best livin rapper right now with maybe Eminem and some unknowns....i doubt JayZ will wanna battle Canibus on his best day. Thats all there is to Canibus tho..thats y i don't regard him as one of greatest of all time..hes one dimentional, and thats just battlin and lyrics. But hes very good at it.

1. Pac (storytellin, lyrics)
2.Big ( flow)
3.Nas (Storytellin)
4.Gza (Lyrics, beats)
5.Eminem / Big L / Rakim / Black thought / Rza / Mos Def

And about Eminem, i'd love to hate the guy for his stupid attacks on pop stars and shit but the guy is very talented. Some fo the best lyrics out there rite now....he has some Pac in him with his lyrics and some really good flow. As commercial as he is along with many of todays rappers. he has to be the more original and versatile one.

JayZ has good flow and delivery but hes too unoriginal. All he does is takes Biggies style and words and TRIES to twist em around. i guess its a good formular for success and money but true rap fans know he aint shit...its funny how he shut the fuck up after Nas ate and ate him.

umm, biggie was a sick freestyler, and he has said in interviews, the only cat who could make him sweat was jay z. big l, also known for his freestylign ability, says he has deep respect for jays skill. dont even mention cannibus, can-i-bus lost to LL...........

now about originalty and lyrics, jay is close to unmatched except for the people in hat top 5. hes made so many styles and concepts popular in the rap world. now when it comes to diversity, flow, wordplay, versatility. jay is unmatched with the exception of big.

and true rap fans consistently recognize jay as one of the greatest to EVER do it. they dont include people like puff daddy, gza, redman, and looooooooooooooooooooooooooool down south rappers, with the exception of kast.


and on a final note, jay out of his 100s of songs has maybe used 10 to 15 biggie lines. do u rly think he doesnt know we are gonna know they are biggie lines? its a tribute man. do u rly think he figures we wont notice the biggie lines???????

oh and btw muski, if u had any rap knowledge ud know tu pac isnt known for his lyrics, but his emotion. nas is known for lyrics. and i think ur mixing up gza with rza, gza is not known for making beats or exceptional lyrics. and its funny u list rza, a rapper with a serious speech problem who everyone agrees cant rap, as a possible top 5 rapper of all time. at least u had the sense to put rakim big l and black thought. though i doub tu know who they are, probabl yjust pulled them off previous lists

lol Hovz...im not even gonna argue with u about rap on this forum. Theres no point to it. And trust me i know more about all them people than u do. Not that its anythin to be proud of. And please don't say things like they are facts. It pisses me off when ppl talk like that. Thats ur opinion and thats mines.

With the jayz thing, personally i think u liked him at one point when he was good and u just can't seem to hop of his dick so u keep defendin him even tho if u knew anythin about rap u'd know he aint shit. he should make original tracks b4 he talks. And please tell me wut style hes made popular that wasnt already made by Big? y u think he changed from rappin fast to slow like Big? All he does is Try to copy big's flow. im not sayin the guy sux but IMHO hes no way near top 5 maybe top 20. U didnt mention nothin about how Nas ate him tho. y? And the reason most ppl like u think LL ate Canibus was cuz Mtv and VH1 and BET (which to u is prolly ur entire rap universe ) didn't give canibus any airtime after his 2nd round knockout track. all u guys heard was LL's Jack the ripper. If u heard any of canibus's responses to jack the ripper u wouldnt be sayin LL ate him. Do u know how many rappers are scared to go against canibus? ur man Jayz didnt even dare to respond to Bis after Bis dissed him and rocafella on "i got a story to tell" go dl it and listen to it since u prolly aint never heard it. beanie Sigel tried to step to bis, he got ate didnt respond either. this was all b4 he went to jail. Tell me one rapper that can battle Canibus and ill tell u if he already ate them or not, k mr. hover?

muski. heres a style jay z made popular, whisper rap, he made the bling bling rap popular. the fact u think canibus is the best battle rapper negates all the shit u just talked. eminem alreayd dissed canibus. and ive heard all the can-i-bus songs to ll. but the ripper strikes back ate cannibus. cannibus had a hot diss song. but he lost that battle. and i dont watch mtv or bet. ll got him, wyclef, and mike in 1 song. and jay z didnt get ate by nas. what did nas say in ether besides "big lips, gay-z, u copy big". he didnt say any type of factual shit. on the other hand jay ripped apart nas entire career in 1 verse, nas couldnt do it on 3. how about this, u name 1 rappe ru think is sick, name soem sick lines from that rapper, then ill do the same for jay. well see who is better with lyrics and wordplay

lol....ur probably the only in this entire universe that thinks jayz ate nas. Only thing Jayz did to nas with takeova was resurrect nas's career. nas hadnt done shit in a while and jayz gave him a reason to come back.
and btw i odn't like canibus taht much but hes the best livin rapper when it comes to battlin



Canibus from i got a story to tell to jayz: "i had nothing before and I have nothing now. Fuckin' with a nigga with nothing only brings you down"


im at a library rite now. im headin home just for of u Mr hover. ill play ur lil dumb game
to be continued
