Top 10 Favourite Rappers of all time?
 
1 - Big Pun
2 - Ice Cube
3 - Wu Tang (excpet Cappadonna obv)
4 - Biggie Smalls
5 - KRS One
6 - Nas
7 - Gangstarr
8 - Ras Kass

sadatx 12-27-2003 03:57 PM

1- Biggie

2- Tupac

3- Wu Tang

4- Slick Rick (no slick on your list !?!)

5- Ice Cube

6- Brand Nubian (Sadatx)

7- Run D.M.C.

8- L.L. Cool J

9- Eric B. and Rakim

10- Public Enemy

Also: Jungle Brothers and De La Soul and Beastie Boys

And I'm deffinitely not set in stone on the order although Biggie and Tupac would always be at the top (I know it's the popular thinking that calls Biggie and Tupac the best rappers of all time, but I tend to agree with that notion).

10. Ice T
9. Chuck D
8. Beastie Boys
7. Snoop Dogg
6. Bizzy Bone
5. N.E.R.D.
4. Dr. Dre
3. Mack 10
2. Ice Cube
1. WC

10-B Real
9-LL Cool J
8-Ice Cube
7-Q-Tip
6-Dr Dre
5-Tupac
4-Busta Rhymes
3-Ludacris
2-Eminem
1-Chuck D

H12 12-30-2003 05:51 AM

1) Eminem
2) Ludacris
3) DMX
4) Nelly
5) Jay-Z
5) Nas
7) Dr. Dre
8) Talib Kweli
9) 50 Cent
10) Outkast

Honorable Mention: Fat Joe

Having both Jay-Z and Nas at #5 was no mistake, by the way. Plus I like Tupac and Biggie, don't get me wrong, but they're already labeled as the greatest ever and they're going to be on most everyone else's list.

Munku 12-30-2003 12:53 PM

I'll save some space, since everybody else I would have named has already been mentioned, save one- My All-Time Favorite,
Big Daddy Kane!

Thanks for the input snapperhead, but where's your list?:mad:

Tophat665 01-02-2004 05:40 AM

In general, I tend to agree with lions20, however, there are some exceptions. I don't know if I can make a credible top ten out of it, but I'll give it a shot.

1 - Neal Peart (Raps in "Roll the Bones")
2 - Weird Al Yankovic - (It's All About the Pentiums)
3 - Tom Waits - (I think "Fillipina Box Spring Hog" counts as rap)
4 - Will Smith (Does more to end racism just by being than Al Sharptoon and Jessie Jackson combined - clever rapper too)
5 - Eminem - ("Lose Yourself" actually gave him some credibility)
6 - Jam Master Jay - (It would be unkind, untrue, and moderately amusing to say, "because he's dead," so I'll say that it is because he demonstrated the way a rapper could live without being a dirtbag.)
7 - Mix-a-Lot (Funny)
8 - Ice-T (has a hardcore band. Handled the whole Cop Killer incident well)
9 - Digital Underground (Funny)
10 - Tupac (Dead. Still putting out albums. Years later.)

Edit: I was thinking about this after I posted, and there are a couple more rappers to who I believe props must be issured.

3½ - Kid Rock
6½ - The Beastie Boys (License to Ill is the album that made Rap music to White America)
9¼ - Ton Loc (Made the same song a hit twice, changing almost nothing but the name.)
9½ - Colin Quinn (Goin' Back to Brooklyn. 'Scuze me. I don't tink so.)
9¾ - LL Cool J (Good name, and, as an actor, a poor man's Ving Rhames. Also, allowed Colin Quinn his one moment of true humor.)

There's more, including a number of rappers I think the world would be better of (or is better off) without, but this is a thread for those who like rap. Take the above as my admiration of the form and continue with your bad selves.

Edit again: Couple more I missed in no particular order:
Falco - German Rap. Gotta love it.
The Bloodhound Gang.

Prophecy 01-03-2004 12:50 AM

This is my current top ten the people on this list move up and down according to how I'm feeling on any given day.
[list=1][*]Tupac Shakur[*]Outkast[*]Notorious B.I.G.[*]A Tribe Called Quest[*]The Roots[*]Ludacris[*]L.L. Cool J[*]Public Enemy[*]Jay-Z[*]Busta Rhymes[/list=1]



Honorable mention goes to the following:
Mos Def, The Jurassic-5, Naughty By Nature, Snoop Dogg, Wyclef Jean, Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, and Run DMC.

Most of the people in my honorable mention list (excluding Snoop) I haven't heard enough of their music to figure out where I would place them in my favorites of all time list.

[list=1][*]Tupac[*]Snoop Dogg[*]B.I.G.[*]Eminem[*]Dr. Dre[*]Outkast[*]Jadakiss[*]Ludacris[*]Shyne (fuck Puff for making him take the fall)[*]Jay-Z[/list=1]

Jay-Z is so low because I after The Dynasty his records just seem, different. And not in a good way.

Honorable mentions to Black Eyed Peas and Nate Dogg, I consider both more R & B though excluding them from competition.

chiefslappajo 01-05-2004 12:50 PM

Hell yeah, jimmy4, Shyne was one of my favorite young guns too. Anybody know when he's due to get out?

BigGov 01-05-2004 11:37 PM

He got 10 years.

The sooner Shyne gets out the sooner he can kill Puffy :)

KWSN 01-10-2004 11:05 AM

heh...looking this thread over, I'm the only Streets fan here :p

Strange Famous 01-10-2004 11:14 AM

I like The Streets, but I would classify it more as Garage than rap, along with Dizzee Rascal. The thing the Streets have is he really does speak for a whole generation - "Weak Become Heroes" feels like it really could have been written about my life

The BluePrint 2 wasn't a bad double disc. I still think Volume 2 or The BluePrint is his best work. I'm still have mixed feelings about The Black Album. I was expecting more from a "last" record. And is there only two Roots fans in this thread? :(

Strange Famous 01-10-2004 02:14 PM

Nas destroyed Jigga's legacy in hip hop IMO.

It was silly of him, cos Nas was whack, finished, until Jigga called him out and made him mad - so Nas came back and proved he could record a track that Jigga couldnt touch. The difference between them? Think "I know I can" vs "Hard Knock Life"; thik "New York State of Mind" vs riiping off some Pac track or being all over MTV cos you is fucking one of Destiny's Child. Nas destroyed Jay Z and left him with nothing but MTV and billboard

That's what i love most about the streets.

I think just about every government in the world should listen to "The Irony of it All" because it's so damn true...
