It's so hard to make a list... because is it strictly on rhymes? The music? Impact on the game?

While someone like Dre and Puffy might not be considered the best at writing rhymes, their impact on the game is undeniable.
 
The first hip-hop album that I ever actually sat down and listened to was "The Eminem Show" when I was in High School. A friend of mine popped it into my CD player one day when we were driving somewhere, and said "dude, you gotta listen to this. I think you'll like it". Been hooked on Shady's work ever since, though I don't follow every song or album.

The music on that album just spoke to me. The first song I ever listened to from it was "Cleanin' Out My Closet". My mother and I were at each other's throats at the time, so I could relate to the song.
 
I lied earlier. Sean Price is my number 1. I just like the guy. He was like a gangster MF Doom, but not afraid to make fun of himself occasionally. RIP.

It's top 5 Emcees. And yes you had have to make a list. :D

Haven't you seen the movie?

 
As a middle aged white guy my favorites are:

Chuck D (enough that I went to see Prophets of Rage)

Killer Mike

Eminem

There are probably some great ones out there I've never heard of. Don't listen to a lot of rap, but like the political stuff (Public Enemy) the most.

Music fans try to make these discussions too complicated. Which rappers do you enjoy listening to most? That's your top rapper list.

Same here. He got me through a reallllllllly tough time.
 
I really dug two of Scarfaces albulms, but I cant remember the names right now.

But I'm a Dre guy all the way. In all seriousness. I think he was the best. He did it all.
 
Also, if like me, you are pretty much WTF at most new rap, please take some time and listen to Czarface - it's 7L, Esoteric and Inspectah Deck

the concept with the group is basically Sci Fi, old school WWF(e), silver age comics, sports, heroes n villains n shit like that, mostly boom bap + bars... that good shit. They put out a instrumentals vinyl recently for comic day and made a custom comic too.

ie



in this alone,

Mohamed Ali
Deadpool
Spider-Man
Wu
Harvey Kietal
Seinfeld
Hank Pymm
Vulcan Mind meld
Christian Laettner
FN-2187
Jedis
Vibranium

its like a childhood in a hip hop group

"shit been ugly, but it does the trick like Steph Curry's kicks....." mhmmm

also - L'Orange & Jeremiah Jae are a bit of a throw back , worth a listen

 
Some rappers I enjoy

Eminem (after his 3rd cd or so he lost his edge. The shit he puts out now is awful. When he had pain and ambition he was amazing)

Hopsin
Tech N9ne
Biggie
2Pac
Kendrick Lamar
Dre
J.cole
Mos Def
Common
Lupe Fiasco
Kid Cudi
The Game
Warren G
Childish Gambino
Tyler, the Creator
Too Short
Fabolous

Guilty pleasure is Drake. Watched him on Degrassi back in the day. Other guilty pleasure is 50 cent.

I like Kanye too, dude is a weirdo sometimes, don't like his flow much, love his lyrics. "I stuck my dick inside this life until that bitch came" is hil-fucking-larious.

I'll probably get flamed for some of the rappers I like but what the fuck evs.

My favorite top 5 in no order are probably

Too Short
2pac
Biggie
Eminem
Tech N9ne

The best right now would be Kendrick Lamar. He can make the commercial songs and conscious rap songs, both are great. All his projects put out have been classics in my opinion. I think people sleep on J Cole as well. Asap Rocky also very underrated. Kendrick Lamar above all currently though. As far as old school, I think for me that would be Nas. Biggie was great, Pac was great. All the guys from Wu tang can rap their asses off. A tribe called quest. Eminem.

Past=Nas
Present=Kendrick Lamar

I heard some rap years ago from someone called Dviss1. It was pretty good. He even had a song about GW Bush.
