1. pac
2. big l
3. nas
4. notorious big
5. eminem
6. jay-z
7. scarface
8. big pun
9. ghostface

Arkrud, do YOU enjoy listening to him? If you do, don't let other peoples opinions change that.

With that said, he's extremely clever and talented. He always comes up with different stuff. He's definitely in the elite class.

Run DMC , Slick Rick , Snoop Dog , Curtis Blow , Weiclef , Dana Dane , EPMD
The rest of the WU?

So many great rappers

Eminem gave a lot of these rappers props when he won his first awards so for me
that show he loves and appreciates the art

Lyric wise Eminem is right there with all of them

Very smart and talented ....... Makes you feel his story's are real
Flow ( Dre ) is always on point

Gifted and talented

Biggie is Best all time BTW

Difference between Biggie and anyone else who ever did it is
You cant find anything B I G every did that sucks

Not one ****ty song

I would say the one with Bone Thugs but people love that song( Hate that whole thing till Biggie raps)

Anyone else has at least one or 2 most even more then that!!

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

yeah man, theres always some that you're going to leave out, just forgetting them while you're making the list.. i definitely did that with mos def and krs-one (in my opinion) and also redman. now who would those 3 replace? i'm not really sure, it's never easy to make those lists.

He is more of a pop artist than a rapper IMO.

i disagree. alot of his singles might be, but the rest of his stuff isn't.

I am not a fan - there is something about him I just don't like. I believe he is a talented guy I just dont like his style.

lol. i will agree that besides ll and tribe, i wouldnt think of people on this list as on the best rappers list. as a matter of fact, mc ren is by far a better skilled rapper than cube, and i love cube. jada is a GREAT rapper and deserves to be on the list however on his OWN track he is mediocre which is disheartening. i would regard jay electronica in high regard, though he started being popular recently.

Good lyricist, took self reflection to a whole new level but the beefs got tiresome. The only beats of his that I liked
were done by Dre.
