The Best Rappers
of All Time Are...

Top 5 is tough, but Eminem is in the conversation :
1) TuPac - his music was socially conscious, touched the hood, politics, and everyday life. Had a genuine directness that no rapper has today. Delivered 2 all time classic albums; Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me.
2) KRS-ONE - Definitely had the message but also gave direction
3) Rakim - Told the hood to get educated and protect our mind
4) Nas - The illest stories with a touch of wisdom
5) Biggie - The best rhythmic flow of all time
5A) Eminem - Metaphorically gifted with the anger of a black man
5B) Kanye - Probably the most purely talented guy out today
8) Jay Z - The blueprint for getting paid, but lacks depth
9) Mos Def - lyrically talented and one of the top deliveries
10) Lupe Fiasco - a stretch to most, but content is there
Scarface (Brad Terrence Jordan)
Rakim (William Michael Griffin Jr.)
KRS-One (Lawrence Krisna Parker)
Treach (Anthony Criss)
Kid Frost (Arturo Molina Jr.)
TMZ knows nothing about rap or hip...old school startedB4 anyone you have listed and even yourt lame zlispt rappers don`t know old school from old stool and your rappers list looks more like a pappers lispt and dribble and max will never get invited to the playboy partys as he is a buttUgally papperpisson
Trigga E is correctamungo.
1) Dylan.
2) Bruce (Blinded by the Light, et al.)
3) Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong (Temptations' "Ball of Confusion".)
The rest are posers; rap music is an oxymoron.

4.NAS
5.KOOL G RAP
If you don't know any of these rappers...you shouldn't even be commenting.
Lol @ the random person sayin' ppl are ranking eminem as top ten because they're white as well as him. i AM white and i love him, my kids are half black so that means my babydaddy/ fiance' is black; he loves eminem and honestly almost everyone of his friends would include him in their top ten rappers of all time. when he first came out dr dre thought he was black and asked him to come and meet with him, so to play the race game is completely irrelevant. JUST SAYIN'. He's amazing, not the best but he's up there.
I'm not a fan, but, Eminem deserves Honorable Mention in
this list. He can still improve and innovate.
