Greetings:


With all of this nonsensical talk and heated debates of "the best" and "the greatest", we tend to overlook the small things in life, which can end up rather substantial in the end.

To find the greatest rapper of all time, I look to the twin brothers of a rather reknowned group of gentleman who first said:

"Warm it up Chris."
"I'm about to."
"Warm it up Chris."
"That's what I was born to do."

These young superstars also gave back to rap with tremors seen throughout the fashion world as well, such as wearing obscenely loud "Cross Colors" clothing, and the wearing of one's pants in a backwards fashion.

Not good enough you say? How many of the rappers mentioned are the stars of their own Video Game . (Hint: The answer is close to (234234234234 - 234234234234) / NONE OF THEM)
Edit: Had to make sure my order of operations were in line.

To all of you naysayers I leave you with these words to dispel any last doubt in my claim:

"The miggedy mac 'll make ya."
"Jump. Jump."

Art my friends, pure, unadulterated art. As if they struck a vein in the body of art, and let art flow forth from the gash in a torrent of lyrics and fashion (and art!). All those who think differently are just wiggeda, wiggeda whack.


JMoridin.
From Hell's heart I stab at thee.

Geez HovZ, didn't you know that VH1 is at the heart of the urban youth culture? I think you put 2pac at #2 just because he had beef with Biggie and Jay Z and that's why you don't like Nas.

ok whoever said cannibus is best living battle rapper is retarded, but sorry if u lose to LL in a battle u arent one of the best =[. HE GOT RIPPED SO HARD BY LL and never made another song about him. LL is pretty good and has respect from people but he isnt the greatest of all time so how cannibus loses to someone who probably isnt top 5 and then is called the best is just mind blowing. and as for the guy who said nas beat jay-z most people think otherwise it was about 50/50 but yes takeover did ressurect his career. And mob deep in top 5? =[

which brings to point, if u need a top rapper dissing u for people to take notice of you, then..... i mean look at it since jay stopped dissing nas, no one rly talks about dude anymore, hes back to his nastradamus days. jay is the nicest living mc hands down. his influence on the game is un rivaled today.

1 more thing, the reaosn everyone wanted nas to win, and wants to say he won is cuz jay has been on top since 98, and he aint never lost before(he says in lots of tracks "i will not lose") people love to see the udnerdog win, thats why everywhere u looked last year, all u saw was nas nas nas nas. where nas at now?? dont get me wrong i like nas, hes ill but he didnt win that battle

having a "sick line" here and there does not make you a great rapper. How many sick lines did tupac have? That were really witty? Yeah... and he's definitely better than Jay Z. If you disagree... theres nothing left to talk about in this discussion really. Jay Z being better than tupac.. lol. Only reason i consider Jay Z to be one of the top rappers of all time is because he has good lyrical content, and has stayed at the top of his game for a while now. But what about his style? It's really shitty, the most monotone voice ive ever heard, wheres the charisma? Nas is not the underdog actually.. nas is a living rap legend. He fathered jayz and gave him a style to work with. Jay-Z was in a tropical shirt in the background of someone else's video while Nas was steadily rippin' up the Hip Hop scene. Now... the reason eminem is better is because his presentation, style, and lyrics are all better than Jay Z's. Eminem has meaningful lyrics, with emotion, where he's actually creative and original. I believe musik asked you to give a line or song where jayz was actually creative and original, and you didnt respond. JayZ didnt create any style, he just hopped from one person's style to the other. I really dont see how you can seriously think jayz is anywhere near eminem. I have not heard ONE eminem song that 'sucked' but i know of some Jay Z songs ive heard and just skipped to the next. And if jayz is considered one of the best based on witty one liners... canibus has him beat there. Comparing the lines you wrote from jayz with the ones musik wrote from canibus is funny. Jayz' was no where near the caliber of canibus'.

Oh yeah, i may not be able to think of any witty 'one liners' of eminem's... but i can easily list off songs of his which are better than Jayz's. Basically just pick an albumb of his, point to a random song.. and whala... its better than a random song from a Jay Z albumb.

yes dirk, talkign about killign anmials and other retarded shit is meaningful. and jay z was in a hawiian shirt in 89, wtf was nas ripping up in 89? nas fathered jays style? ok lets try to think by ourselves without just taking th ebullshit nas says in ether as fact. and if u think jays verse is monotone then wtf is nas? i guess big was also monotone. funny u talk about charisma and say jay has none. you obviously dont know what charisma is. i cna name tons of eminem songs that suck. remember me? purple pills? im back? almost all of slim shady lp? jay is considered one of the best because he has the best wordplay period, he has best flow, dude can rap to any beat without even writing any lyrics, he can rap about any subject with smart insightful and witty lyrics. and the fact u think those can-i-bus 1 liners are better then jay just defaces the value of ur opinion. as for some original or creative jay songs:

dope man, meet the parents, ballad for the fallen soldier, dream, where have you been, etc.

Man me n my friends have this argument all the time...... Eminem is Great jay-Z is Great 2 diff styles how can u compare the 2 its no way the thread can go on forever..... I like eminem more but there is no way i can say he is better b/c Jay Is The Fuckin Man ~~~~~!!! i say they are the 2 best in the game right now..... And i dont know why canibus name keeps getting mentioned i really think that guy suxya give him way to oo much credit. How Bout we all get along Listen to renegade Jay-Z & Eminem the best in the game doing it 2gether*_*

-Foxy got you hot 'cause you kept your face in her puss
What you think, you gettin girls now 'cause of your looks?

That ends it right there. Nas over Jay Z.

And how can you put 2pac at four? His stuff is still playing on the radio and rappers are still remixing his shit trying to make money off his sound. Two examples I can think off off my head is Eminem and, guess who, Jay Z.

i think those canibus lines pretty much have everything under raps.. those are nuts why would u say he lost to LL? LL got tore to peices.
"I'll strip u of your vangaurd award in front of your first second and third born, make your wife get on the phone, call minister farakuan"

i mean.. woah~ then LL comes back with something like
"u need jesse jackson for some affirmative action"
huh?
and canibus has put out 5 albums. every single one of them he rips on LL.

okokokko rofl lmao i just read back some pages and wow hovz ur crazy i love jay-z but he did lose the battle to NaS. OKOK Nas is nowhere near better the only reason he won was b/c he dropped eether at a perfect time imo. I mean Take Overwas killign nas and itt ook him like 6 months to respond to that . But Ether WAS TOO FUCKING GOoD lol. Jay definetely lost b/c of that song.Jay tried to respond in 1 day so it was kinda unfair.Think of it this way if Tek over and ether dropped at same time i dont know who would have won but "RoC get gunned up and clapped quick rofl" but..... " 1 was naahhhhhh the other was illmatic thats 1 hot album every 10 yr avg and thats soooooo lameeeeee " man i love those songs i think the timing won nas the battle..... Jay >>> Naz period
