he's not really new, but he just recently received a lot of attention from his Kush & OJ mixtape.

if you want a pretty good idea of what kind of rapper he is, listen to this track

its like saying, in my opinion, big country reeves was the best center of all time. you can say it but its just wrong.

not saying its a terrible pick, but pretty surprised so many people consider lupe to be top 10 material.

some really weird ones:
master p
TI
MF DOOM (dude has zero flow)

[tacobell]

Kanye is not on anybody's list, i thought with the demographics of revscene, he would be on here for sure, guess i'm wrong

[ae101]

afro man & his only hit song "cuz i got high"

what im more suprised is how Mos Def is not on anyones list except mine....

[unit]

for top 10? thats a bit of a stretch. hes good but top 10 goat? i dunno...

[hotjoint]

mos is alright but not top 10 imo

[Amaru]

When I listened to rap...


1. 2pac


2. Dre
3. Nas
4. Biggie
5. Snoop
6. Puffy
7. Eminem
8. The Game
9. Too Short
10. Cypress Hill
11. Bone Thugs
12. Big Pun
13. Ludacris
14. LL
15. Fabolous

The only rap artist whose songs still occasionally make it onto my playlist is pac... he is just so much better than everyone else in all regards. Pretty obvious from everyone's list here too that he is the greatest rapper of all time by a mile. (Partly due to his untimely death but partly due to his perfect combination of talent, anger, and intelligence).

Hate to sound cliche, but there really isn't any good mainstream rap anymore. IMO the Chronic 2001 / early days of Eminem was the 'final hurrah' for quality mainstream rap music. 50 Cent, Mike Jones, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne... they just don't cut it compared to the quality stuff of yester-year. I'm sure hardcore hip-hop fans will disagree and point out Kanye, Talib, Jay-Z, Common etc but I just think as a whole the rap scene is dead. (Notice that top-40 hits have way less hardcore rap now and way more alternative and EDM etc).

[ThisIs50.com]

this is my other favorite rapper list

#1 Ja Rule
Fat Joe
Rick Ross
Cam'ron
Kanye West
The Game
DJ Khaled
Shyne
Lil Wayne
P. Diddy


Hip Hop is dead ever since G-Unit fell off... truth hurts

Really? I think you guys should give "The Ecstatic" a good listen, that album blew me away.

I agree and disagree with this statement, G-Unit made good "mainstream" music. Im not going to front and say i didn't like "Candy Shop" and "Just a Lil Bit" when i was drunk and just wanted party music to listen to. Now since their gone and its replaced by soulja boy it just makes me SMH that some people actually listen to that garbage.

Also... how the fuck can Diddy make anyone's list :confused:

^he was joking.. who puts ja rule as #1? i dont even consider that to be hip hop. ja rule is pop music meant for the radio.

just because pac is clearly the most popular here, doesnt mean hes the goat.

the fact that you have puffy and fabolous in your list pretty much discredits everything you just said.

At the same time you gotta take a step backwards and see the thread is titled "YOUR top 10 rappers". Most of us have the same rappers on their list, but if he wants to throw in puffy, fab, or the moffats for whatever reason, that just means that's who you are most likely to see on his playlist.

Arguing about who is better than who is just a waste of time and "discrediting" someone for having someone you don't agree with on their list is very ignorant like. All this shit is very subjective anyways.

Oo and let me add maestro in case no one has said him.

i know im a little narrow minded when it comes to hip hop, but i've listened to it all, and i hate to see bad rappers get credit and good ones not get any.

to be honest i've only listened to his debut album so i dunno if the quality dropped in the more recent albums

anywho, I wonder how many of you guys actually have all of your top 10 rappers' album or downloads from itunes or other legit means rather than just p2p/torrents..?

[vafanculo]

^ I barely listened since 2003ish but only reason i replied to the thread is cause I recently found my old rap cd binder with all original 2pac,meth,dpg,public enemy etc. Lol nothing feels finer than popping one of those classics as you drive.

i started buying cds just to keep unopened. i download the torrents and just listen to those.
pass the cds down to my kids someday.

Some interesting lists. I am sure a top ten wont do it, because once I start going through all my old tapes, you start hearing stuff and going “oh my god, that guy was awesome.”

Heres a bit of a list though. Some are groups.

Mad Skillz (just skills now I believe)
EPMD
Wu-Tang
Atmosphere
Rakim and Eric B
Jay Z
Maestro Fresh Wes
BIG
Gangstarr
hieroglyphics

Honorable mentions (and some that just popped into my head with some great tracks)

Sadat X
OutKast
House of Pain (people give me shit about this, but listen to “Truth Crushed to earth”, Everlast is great)
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
TuPac (before death row)
Run DMC
Beastie Boys
Biz Markie

I have a gym bag full of old cassettes stored in a closet somewhere. Now I need to find a tape player to play them on…….

Did anyone else read the Source in the early 90's? I remember reading about all these up and coming artists like "Notorious BIG" and "Wu Tang Clan" and finding out about music that way.. And I'd get in a lot of shit for calling their hotline to check out the latest tracks.. Oh man to have internet back then would have been nice :lol

^odb doesnt speak from his consciousness... his soul speaks straight through his mouth.
i read the source in the mid 90s. i remember having a foxy brown pinup from the source in my locker at school. lol. i got told to take it down.

Seriously, no shoutouts to the female rappers? Everyone from MC Lyte... to Salt N' Pepa... or Latifah... and of course the "Ill Na Na"? I was a fan of E-V-E as well.

Im not the type a guy who will listen to a whole album. I usually only like 1 or 2 songs from an artist. Each song gives off a different vibe.

a lot of these guys have been listing to hip hop since the mid 2000 or so. Man if only all of you could of been around the early 90's to listen to real hiphop which where about the rhymes nice and grimy rapping in a alleyway hunched around a drum on fire with sick flow. Thats where it came from and was wicked to be apart of seeing the Nas and hova come up. Listening to the WU taking the rap game to a whole new level and of course you can't talk enough about Pac and Big, man I listen too this wack shit thats out there right now and don't care cause my ipod is always on rotate with the 90's joints that never get old.

[Amaru]

I respect everyone's right to an opinion, but I simply don't see how anyone could argue Biggie is better than Pac... 2pac just poured emotion into every track, it felt like you were listening to a real musical artist and not just a dude yelling rhymes into a mic.

Couldnt agree more. He may not have had the best flow/rhymes/etc but it was the emotion he put into every song that made him so memorable. You don't see much of it these days.

Seriously, no shoutouts to the female rappers? Everyone from MC Lyte... to Salt N' Pepa... or Latifah... and of course the "Ill Na Na"? I was a fan of E-V-E as well.

I saw half the artists mentioned at the Rock the Bells concert a couple years ago. Sickkkk lineup.

Those are all great female rappers MC Lyte was an awesome lyricist that never gotr enough credit and the majority of "rap" listeners aint ever even heard of her. They've heard her voice tho she does voice overs on some commercials and still produces.

i agree with everything you said. however to me that just isnt enough to make him the goat.

lyrically, biggie was way on another level.
clever lyrics were not tupacs thing. biggies lines require thought and some interpretation which is typical of east coast style (nas, mobb deep, etc...), unlike west coast lyrics which are most of the times, too literal.

also, tupacs flow is just waayyy too easy to make fun of, as you've seen on chapelle show. its unique sounding though, i'll give him that.
