@naijafan
dre is the best producer rap has ever seen,but he is certainly no rapper.

In fact ,I wouldn't place him in the top 10

Jay-Z does not belong to that list

50 Cents is a better lyricist,people dislike because of his many childish beefs with other rappers.

This is my list:
Biggie
2 Pac
Nas
Rakim
Method Man
50 Cents
Snoop
Prodigy
Eminen
Eric Sermon

Method Man has been rapping since 1993,that is 14 years

Fiddy has been rapping since 1998,that is 9 years

If someone who has been rapping for 9 or 14 years does not deserve to be on the list,then who is.

How long has rap been mainstream?

@ 4 Play:
i would assume u don't knw shit bout rap. Hw would u want to say Jay Z sudnt be in that list? U want to put eminem ahead of Jay Z. Jay Z is 1 of d best to ve evr touched the mic. His lyrics r killin. He has changed the game entirely. 1 of the most flexible rapper to ve evr rapd. That nigga has done it all. He has done it wit the best of soul: MARY J BLIGE, best of RNB: R.KELLY, best of ROCK: COLDPLAY AND LINKIN PARK, best of RAP: DR. DRE, RAKIM, BIGGIE SMALLS ETC. He has basically done it wit everyone. He has killed everybody on each songs. Other than Biggie Smalls i dnt think there is any other wit lyrics beta thn Jigga man himself. Ma nigga go check up on ur rap history n name those that ve done it beta than HOV.
Ve u heard CHRONIC? that has to rated in the top 10 hiphop/rap album of all time. My guy get ur facts ryt, aiight.
U definately ve 2 b clownin sayin 50 cent should be on a list like that. My guy do u listen 2 rap or bunch of love songs?
Holla bk @ me for mre stizz bout hiphop/rap.

And year i agree METHOD MAN should be on d list that is y i put WU TANG CLAN
please THE NAME OF THE TOPIC IS TOP 10 GREATEST RAPPERS OF ALL TIME.

How can the top ten greatest rappers include the Fugees and the whole of the Wu-Tang Clan.So perhaps Lauryn Hill and Pras are great rappers.

So ODB,U-GOD,cappadona,Inspectah Decck are all among the greatest?

If u are going to include a group,why not NWA who had Dre,Eazy-E,Ice Cube

WhY not DPG,cYPRESS hILL

What the hell is Outkast doing on that list?

@4play
i look at group artists as one,afterall we are judging the music they release and not them per sayagain i go by impact made by each person or groupwu tang are icons,u just can't go breaking them down,same goes for outkast,(who is better big boy or andre 3000?),don't know but i know outKast got it popping for Atlanta and put them on the map,
The fugees stepped up during the east coast west coast beef,and released one of the best albums of the 90"s. . THE SCORElisten to it again and see the skills present in them 3emcees from jersey. . .
N.W.A was tight but they had more impact as solo artists than as a group. . dre,cube,easy-e. . .
again its my opinion,and we don't have to agree. . .

The Wu tang and the Fugees are groups!! The title says, "Top 10 Greatest Rappers" and not groups!!

E-40? Paddy_lo, please tell me you'
ve not been drinking too much sepe. E-40's one of the wackest rappers out there!! If u think hiphop is all about slang-talking then ROF-LMAO @ you!!!


Oh, one more thing. Immortal Technique is one person and not a group!!

Ask any true hiphop head. They will tell u Immortal Technique's one of the illest rappers in the game. The fact that you don't know him is because he's an underground veteran and a sick-ass mc who doesn't do mainstream music.
