The 50 Greatest Rappers of all time

[jet life tony]

"Pound-for-pound, I'm the best to ever come around here
Excluding nobody, look what I embody
The soul of a hustler, I really ran the street
A CEO's mind, that marketing plan was me
And no I ain't get shot up a whole bunch of times
Or make up @!!% in a whole bunch of lines
And I ain't animated like, say, Busta Rhymes
But the real @!!% you get when you bust down my lines
Add that to the fact I went plat' a bunch of times
Times that by my influence on pop culture
I'm supposed to be number one on everybody list
We'll see what happens when I no longer exist
Man, %#@# this"

<>.

 

[cyber smoke]

Lil wayne over Big L and Ghost

 

[cashbanks]

list is garbage

 

[abutta13]

styles p > twista

 

[chrisphreezy]

list is disgustingly inaccurate idc how subjective it is

 

[dipsetgeneral]

^ List is almost spot on, in my opinion.

Don't really have any gripes.

I have not heard D.O.C.'s "Nobody Does It Better", gotta find someone who has it now. Brb ya'll.

LIST INVALID

Lets not act like Jay aint got no failure albums as well


Blueprint 2 & 3
Kingdom Come
Vol. 3



And i feel like Kanye West shouldn't be on this list #15? Come on now over the likes of Redman, KRS-One, Mos Def

Wow at that list of what you consider failures...... Blueprint 2 The Gift(Not The Curse) and Kingdom Come were below his usual work I still thought they were good, not great so if you want you can have those, but BP3 and Vol 3?

Correct. Carter 2 from Intro to Outro was his best complete work.

2>1>3.  

 

[king arthur]

Pac at 2??? shouldnt be top 5

Big not 1????

Kanye at 15 right above LL

they start the list with Twista

this list should of came out April 1st

 

[king arthur]

oh and the Carter III a "Classic"

im done

 

[oneforall]

Lil Wayne sucks. And no Pimp C? Horrible list.

 

[Peep Game]

Wow, just the fact that a lot of these guys actually made the list (Ras Kass, Prodigy, Masta Ace) makes this list
pretty on point regardless of the order. It's a given that Wayne probably shouldn't be in front of a single person
on that list, but that could be a whole different thread. GFK, Rae, Prodigy, Ras Kass, Ice Cube

I ain't mad.

I personally prefer Styles P over Jadakiss, but Jada deserves to be on there.

 

[antidope]

I'm not a Lil'Wayne fan per se but I dont see how anyone can deny the run he had back in the mid 2000s. Dude put out his best album and a string of solid mixtapes and it wasnt over a long stretch it was just a barrage of music. He deserves some credit for that.

This.  
Jay-Z should be hands down #1 followed by 

Big, 

Nas, 

pac, 

eminem, 

rakim, 

kane,

Pun, 

scarface, 

common.  

No way in hell is Nas number 1.  And dude listed Jay-Z's only classics as Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, & The Black Album

  You leave off Vol 2 & the dynasty

 

All Jokes aside, the list isn't the worst by any means but BIG at 5? and Ice Cube in the Top Ten? Not quite. 

 

[doublejs07]

Busta ahead of Bun B???

and Method Man ahead of Black Thought?

Oy vey.

 

[sbsallday12]

I respectully disagree with Biggie's location on the list.

pretty much
BIG at 5?

what a joke

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Carter 3 = a classic

 

[heelish]

This is probably the best overall top 50 rappers list on a hip hop website, just not in the right order for the most part. They definitely got the top 3 right.

My only gripe is that Twista, Immortal Technique, E-40, Lil Wayne, DJ Quik, Spice 1, Lauryn Hill, Too Short & Snoop don't belong on this list, even though Short & Snoop have classics out the a*ss.

Are people here REALLY saying Pimp C or the Clipse belong on this list? Sick in the head.

Antidope, get off Jay's nuts, he's not the GOAT. Just top 5. Why are you crying about this list? You REALLY think BP2 and KC are better than ANY Nas album? Can't say I'm surprised, I wouldn't expect any less from someone with a Hundreds avatar.

LMFAO @ dude who said BIG should be #1, higher than PAC! Can't believe people are saying Dynasty & ANY of the trash Vol 1-3 albums are classics! Wow.
