Best Hip-Hop/Rap Artist of All Time

Eminem is my personal favorite. But Tupac is the GOAT with Notorious BIG clos behind.

Rap sucks now. I know people who think Lil Wayne is the greatest at my high school. 🤨

Surely that means people suck, not hip hop.

-AC

anyone listen to the new Portishead?

New Portishead?!

For me the best rapper of all time would have to be Tupac. His lyrics are so tight man!!!

Aint really got ONE best artist. But Chicago rappers in general are the best, imo.

Best ever? Damn, that's a tough one.

A few that I keep getting back to are...

Gift Of Gab
Tech n9ne
Sage Francis
MC Supernatural
KRS-One (even though I've heard far too little of his work)

Best group, I think I would still have to say Bone-Thugs. Not lyrically but definitely technically. Even though their quality is inconsistent, they had crazy tight flow on their good days.

Biggie

I just have to drop the name Big L in here. Not saying he was the best ever but he sure is up there. Nas is still my fav.

i know everyone thinks it's cool to say Pac is the GoaT, but come on guys..

No doubt he has some dope songs, but he says the same shit throughout his career - and by that i mean he spits the same lyrics over and over - just over different instrumentals (i know thats not his fault).

he is in the top 10 influential rappers of all time, but not in my top 10 mc's ever.

In no particular order.

Guru
Krs
Mos
Talib
Wallace
Meth
Mathers
Common
J-Live
Cyne

nah none of u no wat is chattin if u had any sense u wuld all agree da greatest of all time is tupac his lyrics nd beats actually had real meaning to dem unlike all ur fake's now

Other artist exist besides Pac. He had a delivery that will never be replicated but that alone does not make him the greatest.

Some artists to this day come out with great music, but don't listen to the radio for it cause it won't happen too often.

Jay-Z has some of the best style. Ghostface Killah has great flow and addicting beats. Tupac knows how make a song sway and get into your head.

Overall, I can't say. There are so many great artists for different reasons.

Jay-Z did a remake of "Me And My Girlfriend" originally done by Pac, but with one big problem. He had no idea that Tupac has the deepest lyrics and that the song was actually about the collection of pistols he had owned in his life, and not about an actual girl. Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Nelly get the worst rapper awards. Jay-Z only for the huge Me and my Girlfriend screw-up, but still he deserves it. Deepest lyrics that sometimes contain double and even triple meanings goes to Tupac. Nas is arguably just as good as a lyricist though, he just has smaller balls.

"Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter." Tupac

here's a good song, artist Vordul Mega (part of Vast Aire's group)

"Megagraffiti"

Cold Vein is one of my favorite albums of all time, any genre, but these days Vordul just seems like he hasnt been doing anything new. Half the lines on that song sound far too similar to lines off songs on Cold Vein
