In the event of my demise
when my heart can be no more
i hope i die for a principle
or a belief that i had lived for
i will die before my time
because i feel the shadow's depth
so much i wanted to accomplish
before i reached my death
i have come to grips with the possible
and wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
in the end of my demise

Top four would be 1. Biggie 2. Tupac 3. Nas 4. Jay-Z

Tupac. [Why?] `Cause he was real.

Pharoahe Monch

"Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin
And it amazes - me how you claim thug
but go two-ways without SkyTel pagers
I'm intellectual, pass more essays
than motorcade police parades through East L.A.
More beef then deli's, thus what I vent is just
What you lust to vent is irrele'
Huh, hallelujah, Pharoahe Monch'll do ya
Maintain the same frame of mind - screw ya!
Get the picture, sit ya, seat ya, preacher with scriptures
I'm equipped to rip ya, reach ya
Pharoahe and Mos is verbal osmosis
Coast to coast, we boast to be the most explosive here
Ferocious, the lyrical prognosis
The dosage is leavin you mentally unfocused here
MC's just - come on 'round
You're the next contestants on "Catch-A-Beat-Down"
Don't be hesitant, sound cracks the sediment
It's evident we medicine for your whole town
Sky's the limit, game's infinite when I'm in it
All windows is tinted, how you seein me when I'm in it?
Rap, we got it on lock man, stop that
Put that mic back down, boy, drop that
Pharoahe's flows blows shows like afros"

I don't know but that verse is amazing

Tupac. No questions.

Tupac
Tech N9ne
Eminem
immortal technique

even though em spit one of the best freestyles ive ever heard.

not really that crazy about biggie, sorry.

I like Yung Joc,Even though he is sorta new.

Definitely not Lupe Fiasco

Rap sucks.

oh my gawd are u guys serious?!?!!!? no one ever mentioned NAS . he's d0pe !

I don't think I can single out one particular "best rapper", but two groups that I think have had a great deal of impact on the rap and hip hop genre are De La Soul and Public Enemy. There was a purity to their sound and their lyrics. They strived for the profound, while having some fun (this is particularly true of De La Soul).

I'm sorry Ms. Jackson! OOOH I AM FOR REAAAAAL. Omg I love that song.

Ummm.. well I'm madly in love with Immortal Technique.

Tupac as well.

Most of the stuff I hear now lacks severely in good lyrics. They're catchy and I like them, but lyrics matter a lot to me.

Maybe in the mainstream world yes. I could say Jurassic 5 is better than B.I.G. but that wouldn't hold water, because that's comparing apples with oranges. Just two whole different worlds.

There's no such thing as the best rapper... it's impossible. Too many different styles.



No offense, but if that's what Tokio Hotel looks like... I can only imagine they sound like high-pitched women and their only fans are a bunch of former backstreet and NSYNC fans at which consist of lil middle school children.

Just sayin.

TOKIO HOTEL SUCKS.

I can't stand Eminem either. I DO like Nas, Tupac and Bone Thugs (pre-Akon)...

if you think it sucks you don't have to tell that by posting here ass ... keep it to yourself. and whoever said joc in this thread is a joke LMFAO .. this ain't a thread "who's the best rapper right now" .. although joc would still never be mentioned in that category as well .. this is "BEST RAPPER THAT EVER LIVED" ... and joc? get outta here to whoever said that ......

BEST RAPPER THAT EVER LIVED = TUPAC. this is a no-brainer ..

Optimus Rhyme

^ Suicide.

Strong Steven :x

LMFAO! Because guys dressing like girls are better? Because a band called 'Tokio Hotel' is better? Because that ugly looking piece of shit in your signature sounds better? I'd rather listen to Sanjaya all day long than that ludacris piece of wack called 'Tokio Hotel'.

Spare me your crap please.

Sadly I even wasted my time to download a few of their songs... I can't believe she even had the audacity to disrespected hip hop (then again she could diss 50 cent and akon or whatever, I dont care).



Barf.

*hisses* Ridiculous, really. 'Rap sucks'? Even 50 cent sounds WAY better than that drag queen!

f**k whoever says rap sucks . they really don`t know the true meaning of it . yeah nowadays 'rap' may sound so gay about like sex, money, shit shit shit whatever ! but rap is a way of them to express themselves unless they`re dumbshits ahahahah

If it has anything to do with the beaten to oblivion topics, such as; drugs, money, hoes, sex, cars, houses, prison, and thugs... I hate it, it's useless, and I hope the artists who keep spittin shit about the same topics over and over catch a mutating virus that will kill them slowly but surely.

oh yeah i totally agree . i mean THAT kind of rap is annoying and i don`t even think of it as rap cuhz they ruined it .

Eh...rap is okay.
It doesn't suck really it is just that the mainstream crap played on the radio nowadays sucks.
I don't like rap too much.
There is probably some good rappers out there but i am too lazy to find out

lil wayne i like the way he rap.

i think i am. during christmas i wrap presents really good. and i wrap a lot so i have had a lot of practice.
