The Ever Best Rapper

I just would like to know who you unbiasedly think is the best rapper. Could be a recent or old school rapper.

 

Canibus in my opinion.

 

I like Eminem for his diversity. I know some people think hes popular just because of the uniqueness of being a successful white rapper, he can be a lyrical genius. It's also nice to see a rapper that sings about a larger subject matter than just how pimpin/gangsta he is.

 

Weird Al!!

I like chuck D! old school!!

Ali Rap faturing Chuck D

 

In my opinion the all time best rapper is 2Pac. Next to him would be Eminem and The Game.

 

west cost huh... But how can you say that a Dead people is the best Rapper.

 

Eminem is the best rapper for me, his songs are usually funny but some of his work has a lot of anger in them.

 

Well I did say the all time best rapper, even if he's dead.

 

Eminem would have to be up there, not really sure who else I could put on par with him.

If you'd talk about rappers then i'd have to say Bone Thugs n' Harmony as they were brilliant back in the day.

 

I think its a toss up between eminem and tupac

 

biggy has my vote

 

brotha lynch hung is da man!!

 

All time I'd say either Rakim, KRS-One or Kool G Rap (the later has flow that's still > the rest of the game)

Currently... ehhhhh that's a tough one, but Talib, Freeway, Jigga, and Insight are among those that put in nice albums this past year.

 

Yea sure for underground
---
Tupac was the biggest. I think Dre is the best producer of all.

 

Look up the rapper Necro. This is the most graphic rap I have ever heard by far.

 

Define graphic, never heard that one before.

 

Heh, he's aight... perfer Jedi Mind Tricks for my dose of "horrorcore" rap tho. Vinnie Paz > your favorite horrorcore rapper

 

I love JMT although I've never seen Pazzy as a horrorcore rapper. For that matter, I'm not really into horrorcore; still annoyed from hearing ICP bullshit

As for my favorites, I don't really have a "favorite rapper" but I listen to a lot of Immortal Technique, Canibus, Biggie, old school Nas, KRS-One, Army of the Pharaohs (especially Apathy and Celph Titled; check out their punchlines ), Atmosphere, Talib Kweli, all of Wu-Tang etc... underground stuff mostly.

btw, did anybody cop Proof's "Searching for Jerry Garcia"... never thought I'd like it, but I surprisingly found him a good lyricist (as opposed to the rest of the D12 gang).

I'm more into political rap so Eminem doesn't hold a lot of appeal for me (I do enjoy his songs once in a while though).

Illest rapper ever would be me though

 

talib kwali and cannabis

 

I aint a hardcore rap fan but I like Tupac and Eminem...
