I don't know sht about Rap so all rappers same for me
I really like him. Don't really love rap. But there is something about him....
A lot of people can't get passed his subject matter to see his skill. Dude is probably one of the best to ever do it imho
is em the best ever? no, but he certainly has to be in the argument for the top. the marshall mathers lp might be one of the best albums to ever hit rap.
personally i'm going...
1. pac
2. big l
3. nas
4. notorious big
5. eminem
6. jay-z
7. scarface
8. big pun
9. ghostface
10.guru
Everyone has their top pics...truthfully there's so many. Where does Black Thought from the Roots fit? Mos Def? Kool G rap? Krs-one, Rakim? ll cool j?
Arkrud, do YOU enjoy listening to him? If you do, don't let other peoples opinions change that.
With that said, he's extremely clever and talented. He always comes up with different stuff. He's definitely in the elite class.
Run DMC , Slick Rick , Snoop Dog , Curtis Blow , Weiclef , Dana Dane , EPMD
The rest of the WU?
So many great rappers
Eminem gave a lot of these rappers props when he won his first awards so for me
that show he loves and appreciates the art
Lyric wise Eminem is right there with all of them
Very smart and talented ....... Makes you feel his story's are real
Flow ( Dre ) is always on point
Gifted and talented
Biggie is Best all time BTW
Difference between Biggie and anyone else who ever did it is
You cant find anything B I G every did that sucks
Not one shitty song
I would say the one with Bone Thugs but people love that song( Hate that whole thing till Biggie raps)
Anyone else has at least one or 2 most even more then that!!
He's too much of a community pick.

yeah man, theres always some that you're going to leave out, just forgetting them while you're making the list.. i definitely did that with mos def and krs-one (in my opinion) and also redman. now who would those 3 replace? i'm not really sure, it's never easy to make those lists.
A few notable groups and individuals
GangStarr
Tribe Called Quest
Beastie Boys
Ice Cube
LL CoolJ

He is more of a pop artist than a rapper IMO.

i disagree. alot of his singles might be, but the rest of his stuff isn't.
I am not a fan - there is something about him I just don't like. I believe he is a talented guy I just dont like his style.

lol. i will agree that besides ll and tribe, i wouldnt think of people on this list as on the best rappers list. as a matter of fact, mc ren is by far a better skilled rapper than cube, and i love cube. jada is a GREAT rapper and deserves to be on the list however on his OWN track he is mediocre which is disheartening. i would regard jay electronica in high regard, though he started being popular recently.
Good lyricist, took self reflection to a whole new level but the beefs got tiresome. The only beats of his that I liked
were done by Dre.
