wats u top 10 best rapper? Options

[WTFwasIthinking]

get the f**k out of here with that jayz dickriding bullshit...haha...stillmatic was a hot album with commercial success... you saying ether, one mic, rewind, 2nd childhood, da flyest, and every ghetto weren't hot tracks?

and gods son was great??? get down was a perfect demonstration of NaS's storytelling abilities...



the cross was hot... made you loook... last real nigga alive... and i can was something different and positive... and you say what you want about black album... but it wasn't that hot... gods son was way better

and i dunno why dudes hate nastradamus so much it was a hot album... maybe because all his other albums were fire... anyways

I Am was above mediocre and one of nas worst albums.... but still better then anything most people on this topic listen to... it had some commercial shit but quite a few hot songs

you aint giving streets disciple enough credit. you say its "cool/solid".... if you call the beautiful struggle a classic... then streets disciple is a no brainer classic... yall need to appreciate songs like Live Now (i didnt even know nas was the secondlady until i had heard it like 3 times)... Reason... Message to the Feds... American Way... Coon Picnic (ahahaha)... Just a Moment... and thats only the FIRST CD... album of the year IMO

yall need to listen to it again and stop your bias...

and i misread the shit that was accually my ten favorite emcees not my ten best emcees list.. but NaS still tops the list as the GOAT.

but if it was top 10 rappers... it wouldnt be debatable... i agre with pen... but none of yall including myself know the answer to that question... there will be a top 10 rappers but you  couldnt list them. if that makes any sense

LMFAO... Jay-Z dickriding!?!? Are YOU F*CKIN' SERIOUS!?!?! I didn't even mention him here and he's not even in my top 10 of all time... and I'm dickriding him hard right!?!?! LMFAO

Ether was cool but overrated... One Mic was cool... Rewind was dope... Da Flyest was wack... Every Ghetto was whatever... 2nd Childhood was cool....

God's Son was not great... get the f**k outta here man...

Made You Look was garbage... the remix was better and Jada and Luda (was the best on the track EASILY) outshined his overrated ass..... The Cross was whatever... I hated that Em beat cuz it was so simple... Last Real Nigga Alive was dope... God's Son isn't half the album Black Album is.... get outta here... aside from Change Clothes, every track on that album was better.... beats, flows, just as good lyrically (if not better), and just overall dopeness....

you're dickriding Nas... I'm not dickriding Jay-Z... you're just sayin' I'm dickriding Jay-Z because you're so blinded by how much you love Nas that anyone who doesn't like him and likes Jay-Z must be on Jay-Z's d**k... but once again, I hated him until the first Blueprint came out... and hate on Blueprint 2 all you want but there's a few songs on that album that I think are better than any song Nas has EVER MADE!!! LMFAO... no exaggeration... I think Meet the Parents is EASILY better than anything Nas has ever made... for anyone that hasn't heard that, you need to peep... SICK STORY TELLING ABILITY of Jay-Z is unleashed and REMARKABLE BEAT

nah, and Beautiful Struggle IS MUCH SICKER THAN STREETS DISCIPLE... regardless of what you say.....

and once again, Nas is not the GOAT... NEVER THAT

[xquizit]

ludacris, Eminem, Nelly, Usher....that about it.

Usher isn't a rapper.

[azn_r4pf4n]

if you aint a jayz rider you just hating then... im a fan of both.. and lets not turn this into a jay vs nas post

meet the parents is a hot song but you sayin that the storytelling on that is better then that of illmatic? you just hating now

and you got your opinions i got mine ... ill do me and you do you

[Yemmerz]

My Top 10 would have to be..

Biggie, Tupac, Rakim, Foxy Brown, MC Lyte, Eminem, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Sugar Hill Gang, and Queen Latifa.

Not just because of their "sick" flows or whatever you posers say, because they also all rap music what it is today.

I never said Meet the Parents showed better story-telling ability than shit from Illmatic but it's just as good if not barely better... beyond that, it's a better song that ANYTHING NAS HAS EVER CREATED!!!! beat, flows, storytelling is just as good if not better, and overall tolerableness (if that's a word) of the song

LMAO damn, I used to be hella dumb.

I agree with PEN. The top 10 rappers are not opinion, they are fact. Like the car metaphor used before, if you collect every car, you can figure out the 10 best cars. They might not be your 10 favorite cars, but they still are the top 10 cars. Just because you think Chingy might be the top 5 rapper, he's not. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Chingy doesn't have complex rhyme structures, doesn't have multis, doesn't have wordplay, nothing. He might make you "show him how you do that right thurr", but he doesn't show anything that would make him a top 10 rapper.

Where does opinion come into play? Charisma is definately based on opinion. Some might find LL Cool J to be arrogant, some might find him to be confident. Some might think a certain line is clever, some might think it's corny. But you can't debate whether a line has multi-sylabble rhymes or not, because this is like Kobe Bryant, it isnt an yes or no question.

But also there are unknown unknowns. Yes, I'm referencing Boondocks but he has a point. There are known knowns (rappers you know), unknown knowns (rappers you don't know, but other people do), and unknown unknowns (rappers that nobody knows). If an unknown unknown is top 10 quality, he is top 10 quality. (No, this is not referring to you Kangsta). He might not be on your top 10 because you don't know him, but he is still top 10.

best rappers in your opinion is a very broad statement BUT there's technical stuff about MCing

Those are facts. Some rappers might have them, and some don't. It's not a matter of opinion. And yes, I still think Nas is the GOAT.

[*Statistik*]

f**k it man, nas ain't the goat but he's sure in my top 5. THE GOAT is Rakim or Biggie...lemme put nas in 3rd
