Best Rapper

Shyne is pretty good too, he has the sound of Biggie. Of course he doesnt compare to the flow that biggie has. too bad he went to jail so early

 

2Pac is greatest and my favorite by far. But my favorite living rappers are Too $hort, T.I., UGK, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Ice Cube, Three 6 Mafia. All of these but in no particular order though. I just bump some of everybody.

I also agree with TopNotchStoner. I have been a Three 6 Mafia fan since Mystic Stylez. Lord Infamous and Project Pat are two of the realest and best underatted lyrics out there. I heard Lord Infamous was going to be on a couple tracks on the new Three 6 Mafia album.

 

Snoop Dogg, all of Wu-Tang Clan, Tupac, Nas and Kanye West

 

Aesop Rock>Life.

 

Andre 3000
Immortal Technique
Tech9ne
Tupac
Snoop Dogg
Scarface
The Game
three 6 mafia
bone thugs and harmony

those are my favs

 

q-tip from a tribe called quest is definetly the best rapper

 

anyone for talib kwali?

 

There is no "Best"

My favourite four however are Bizzy Bone, Flesh-N-Bone, Eazy-E & Immortal Technique

 

Lol. Only good rappers. Try these lyrics.
"(yes y'all and ya don't stop keep on to the break of dawn)

Yo...put one up to shackle me, not clean logic procreation
I did not invent the wheel I was the crooked spoke adjacent
While the triple sixers lassos keep angels roped in the basement
I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your patience
Ya'll catch a 30 second flash visual
Dirty cooperative net platoon bloom head trip split ridiculous
Fathom the splicing of first generation
Fuck up or trickle down anti hero smack (Cracking!)
I paste the game to zero hour completion green (Splash!)
Duke of early retirement pick a dream
American nightmare hogging the screen
I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in
if you'd stop following me around the jungle gym
Now it's an honor and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritage
Merit crutch stolen wretched refuse of my teeming resonance
I promise temperance towards breed with a leaning conscience
Here the creed acts since responsive but my sports supports the wattage
And I'm sleeping now (Wow!) yeah the settlers laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags into rags
You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs
Dont be laughing!
And I hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed
So I triple knot them and forgot them
This origami dream is beautiful
but man those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.

(yes, yes, y'all, you don't stop, keep on to the break of dawn)

Slacker bound emit a tabloid headline with a pulse
Shimmy cross the centerfold, and a dead time engulfed
Diddy crumbs for the better souls with seven deadly stains
To hear the blame to crystal conscience
To results a low life counting on one hand what he's accomplished
Ok, link me to activism chain activate street sweep
Plug deteriorating Xenobit(sp?) Pendragon
I hock swords cores for the morbid spreading of mad men
(alley gospel)
Sinking their lincoln-log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle
I could zig zag and zig 'em again for the bashed dreams
Sparking in my brick wall windows another thick installment
Of one night in Gotham without the wretched (There is also another word here)
Houston we have a problem
Attached to a infested batch of city goblins
Who split holiday freak on a box cut cinema high road bellow
Head rips Watch red bricks turn yellow
Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus
Raw feeling crimes congregating at pamper for bickering
Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman
Your only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess
Kiss the speaker wire, Peter Passivism peggin' threshold
Stomach full of halo kibbles
Wings span cast black upon visuals hear the duck hunt ticker tape
Vision and pick apart the pixels
I got a friend of polar nature and it's all peace
When I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast
Metal Captain!
This cat is asking if I've seen his little lost passion
I told him: "Yeah, but only when I pedaled past him"

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way "

 

niggas with attitude

 

Time to get an education, children.

How about actual, real old school hip hop.

Grandmaster Flash. Herbie Hancock. Jazzy Jeff. Lateef. Quannum Spectrum. Latyrx. DJ Shadow. Lyrics Born. Blackalicious. LifeSavers.

Hell, I could mention Lateef & Aesop Rock and this thread would be done. Those two could smoke any MC Alive.

Look up "The Wreckoning" on youtube by lateef. No lyrical shortcuts. Full fluent english. Amazing.

 

Yukmouth, San Quinn, The Mob Figaz

 

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien
MF Doom
Slug
Aesop Rock
Mac Lethal

 

No love for Pun?

But Biggie was the best rapper ever...I would accept Pac as an answer coz thats the debate, but outside those 2?

A couple guys in second, Pun, Eminem, Snoop, then maybe Fabolous, Jigga, old Busta,

Chamillionaire's old stuff is the truth...ill give him another album before I knock him

MF Doom? Great writer, crappy rapper....hes dropping in january with Ghostface killah, that could be interesting, im lookng forward to that

 

Can't forget Guru.

 

Its crazy to me that there is a member named 50-cent G-UNIT on Hip-forums. A place for hippy-ish and love. Makes me laugh. Oh well. Yeah. Rap...... Well I wont shit on it, but I guess hearing about killing and throwin yo sign up and rape and frontin' and bitches and money just isnt my bag. I can respect Tupac's lyirics however.

 

Yeah, because the ENTIRE genre is just about murder and rape and bitches...

 

How true. Glad someone agrees with me.

 

WEEZY F MUTHA FUCKIN BABY. Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Immortal Technique, The Game, Chamillionaire, Kanye West, Notorious B.I.G, Eminem

 

he was being sarcastic dumbass.

rofl, the funniest part is that you thought you were actually on to something and delighted that somebody agreed with your close minded perspective.

yet another generalizing prick who is too lazy/dumb to form a logical opinion.

his sarcasm was another way of saying to listen to something besides the radio before you judge.

and if i can detect that sarcasm you should be able to as well..


and why do you like lil wayne man? he is trash to the max. generic same shit in every song, with a few punchlines here and there. and he takes the no homo shit too far... he honestly raps with no concept or over all message, unlike most great; nas, tupac, etc.

my favorites: nas, old eminem, tupac, wu tang clan, pete rock, pharcyde, just to name some.
