[Shane_G]

1. Elzhi is the best rapper alive.

2. Jay Z has a boring voice and his flow isn't as good as everyone says.

3. There isn't a rapper alive that can beat Ghostface Killah in a battle on wax

4. Wu Tang Clan is the greatest rap group of all time.

5. J Dilla is the greatest producer of all time.

 

[tellemwhyumad]

old white men think Jay-z is more influential than he actually is hence why he is so huge

its not because of his fan base - yes he has a good size fan base but that's not why they still play all his new bullshit tracks

white CEOs are fooled into thinking this guy is the streets! he knows whats cool! if we endorse him our products will sell!

......ehhhhhhhnnnn wronggg hes a has been fucking pain in the ass

 

[TWezzy13]

The greatest hip hop song of all time belongs to Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince...

Drums Please!!

 

[jaurenlo]

Devin the Dude is a Top Ten MC
Cube is the best who ever did it out west...pac is always rated at a higher rank than him simply because he died.
Who is Mike Jones is a good album...top 10 from 05.

 

[AntonLATroy]

I thought rap music was an element within hip hop?

Last time I checked it was.

Good thread though

 

[exilewolf]

1. TRUTH IS... Biggie was far from the best. He had some great songs, but he only had 1 album out b4 he died so how the fuck is he classified as "the greatest"?

The only reason BIG is even considered one of the greatest is because the arrogant NY mufuckaz had to hav an answer to Pac. If he was still alive, wouldnt nobody even care about him.

2. Pac was def one of the great "rappers" but his lyrics were less them impressive - in fact he used the same 5 words in almost every song he ever did.

3. Snoop hasn't had a dope album since "Doggystyle"

4. Jay Z is an OK rapper at best - No where near the greatest or even top 10. U can hear his punch in's in every song after every line. His "swag" is what won, not his skills

5. Eminem got more props for his deranged content then his actual lyrics - tho his is dope at puttin shyt together creatively.

6. DMX was never a good lyricist.

7. Blueprint 3 was/is complete garbage

8. Blueprint 1 wasn't that dope either

9. It Was Written is def better album than Illmatic

10. Slaughterhouse is garbage - the entire group is composed of overrated MC's

11. Eve & Shawnna are 2 of the most talented Female rappers ever but hav the worst beat selection.

12. Lyrically, Busta Rhymes & Cee Lo can run circles around Jay Z, Pac, Biggie & Nas, but their "weird" style overshadows their lyrical skill.

13. Bizzy Bone is one of the dopest "rappers" (not lyricist) ever

14. Lil Wayne bit his "new" style from Bizzy Bone - Go listen to "Alpha & Omega" and tell me im lying.

15. Common actually sucks

16. 50 Cent was never a dope rapper - Production & Marketing made his career.

17. "Get Rich or Die Tryin" was so overrated - Shyt only had 5 dope songs

18. All "real" Hip hoppers talk about is how Hip Hop aint the same no more - which makes their music irrelevant & pointless.

thts my 18 cents....

 

[raytarded]

Bar-4-bar Joe Buddens will body Methon Man
Life After Death is better than Ready To Die
Fab's laid back personality has hurt his credibility for a long time...and its gettin worse wit his tweets
Timbaland >>> Dr. Dre...the last hit record dre produced was 'How We Do"
Wayne has yet to make a classic album, Carter II came close

 

[illwidit]

Lil Wayne is the most overated rapper since 2pac

having swagger is played out

nicki minaj is a bootleg lil kim

before i self destruct was a good album

pimp c was wack, he just gets props now because he is dead

hard knock life album was awful

the chronic is the most overated hip-hop album ever, 2001 is actually better

puffy is a genius

ice cube had the greatest run ever in hip-hop with his first three albums.

R.kelly is innocent........ nah am just playing

 

[illwidit]

blueprint and stillmatic did not deserve 5 mics in the source they both had 1 bad song blueprint had jigga that nigga and stillmatic had smokin

sticky fingaz bodied eminem on remember me from the marshal mathers lp

eminem has bodied every rapper on there own song even when he has not been at his most impressive

 

[KarolinaKid]

1. There are alotta "followers" on this site

2. The south got better rappers than any other region

3. Eastcoast is Overrated on this site

4. in the end rather u like it or not wayne will go down as one of the best to ever do it

5. Em has fell of lyrically amd his flow is the only thing keepin him relevent

 

[Jay107]

1. Being born in NY DOES NOT equate to being lyrical( MIMS, WAKA FLOCKA(yeah..he was born in Jamaica, Queens), 50cent, Prodigy, Jim Jones, N.O.R.E.,

2. Outside of a small handful of rappers, the south really doesnt have many lyricists. And with that being said, you have to be FUCKED UP(high or drunk) to actually enjoy some of the shit that is coming from some of them dudes.

3. The quality of mainstream hiphop has gone downhill drastically in the last few years and at the same time the popularity of southern rap has gone up. Coincidence. NO.

4. Joe Budden is a better lyricist than Method Man

5. Jay-Z's legacy/impact makes him the G.O.A.T.( n/h...but really....think about what that dude has done).

6. Tupac/Biggie would not have fucked with most of the popular artists out today more or less the ones placed on their posthumous albums.

7. American Gangster was the best album to come out in the last 5 years.

8. Lloyd Banks is probably the 4th best lyricist today behind only Jay, Em and Jada.(this dude is slept on to the point where it is almost criminal)

9. "On to the Next One" was the last great/ creative/ innovative music video made in the last few years.

10. Radio/MTV/BET are all sellouts who play less and less good hip hop by the minute.(MTV shouldnt even count at this point)

 

[loch121]

I can't agree with that cuz illmatic was more pure.it was written was nas trying to compete with BIG and JAY

I think It was Written is better than Illmatic, although I fully understand Illmatic's impact on hip hop.
