For as long as we are talking about "spitting" on the mic,NO ONE does it better than the white boy : Eminem..

UNFUCKWITHABLE!

Iceberg3:
Ohk...but I wonder why you didn't mention Ghetto Bois...they be my #1...

Mind Playing Tricks will be my #1 rap song forever

My brother, Ghetto boys as a group was nothing compared to Scarface.

That Houston native was by farrrr the most lyrical amongst them all.

I got several copies of his first solo album called THE DIARY.

That was in year1994.

It had hits like HAND OF THE DEAD BOY, and NEVER SEEN A MAN CRY.

He had a good run for the next few years.

Scarface was the man from that group.
He's definitely in my top8.

Of course...what's the group without Scarface....
Dude is what I'm talking about....you talk about Ghetto Bois,you talking about Scarface.
You talk about Hand Of The Dead Body,you ain't talking Ice-Cube,you talking about Scarface...and when you talking about Smile,you talking about Tupac and you definitely talking about Scarface.

nairamaniac:
Are you referring to Sarkodi?

Yeah

He is the GOAT in Africa rap

Henryfocoyo:

Kinzo0917:
Yeah

Never. You really don't know rap that much.

It's a cheat code when rappers rap in local dialets. Becos it's easier to make rhymes in local dialets than in English.
Just repeat the last syllables of each line.


What sarkodi has more than several other rappers is *tongue twisting*. And M.I actually can do the same when ever he wants to.

Sarkordi isn't even better than BLACK SHERIFF.


See, did you ever know about OVERDOSE? A Nigerian rapper sometime between 2001 and 2005. Same periods with Mode9.


Sarkordi is no where near M.i.

M.i has one of the deepest vocabularies ever.


Don't be fooled by him being a common-Nigerian.

It's funny that Royce da 59 is the only rapper that killed Eminem in all his features.

Alllllll.


Even though we all know that Eminem is better than he is.


Same way AZ Killed NAs in most of NAS's songs, but yet Nas iis in every sane person's top 5 list.



One-Mic by Nas should probably be the most intelligent rapsong ever made.

Dre chronic album... Lol..those babies weak lines of Dre doesn't even make him top10 of all time...

The chronic album wasnt about the rap techniques. It was about GFUNK beats. Thr chronic gave birth to a new style of production in hip-hop history.


It was sooo good that Puffy necessirily had to use it in biggie's first album IM READY TO DIE.

As good as BIGGIE was and better as a Rapper than all of West Coast rappers, they had to use it in JUICY(Biggie's first single).

The most technically best rappers in chronic were kurrupt and Daz.

Snoop was just smooth and something different. But nowhere near kurrupt and DAZ as a Rapper.

ruffDiamond:
A lot of GenZ right here Will be capping shitt many of them call burna, Davido,asake,whizkid rappers
The guy who that mentioned Andre 3000 is definitely not a GenZ


When it comes to mentioning best rappers.in a general sweep as the question posed.the fact is there is no such thing as BEST rapper! because they all have DIFFERENT STYLES
Characterized by criteria such as

1 cadence.i won't try to explain what cadence is but feel free to goggle it up.now , when it comes to straight rap delivery with cadence. there are only KNOWN 2 masters in that game
2Pac and Andre 3k of former group with Big boy these form of rapping is my all time favorite style Tupac is extremely good in this department


2 ,fast delivery.there are so many rappers in this category even before Eminem came up.from typewrita to tongue twista,Kris one
Eminem came later with motor mouth like Chris Tucker but lack substance in his lyrics

3.Sassy, cheeky street credibility delivery style

Biggie , ice cube,Snoop,Dre,Nas, Jay-Z Big L got the department locked down tighter than...


4 gangster style the award goes original creator, street credibility story teller per excellent 👌 Easy E!then 50 cent, Wutang clanz, Coolio,billy Danz (firing squad as a group)if these say they are gonna keel you,best watch your back


5,The resistance ,social,activist rappers.one best group I know is Public Enemy.the duo of Chuck D and Flava Flav.watch their video Fight the power and the This Revolution won't be televised'
Same with the stellar track,He Got Game


Sing-song rap delivery? original creator goes to Murder Inc rapper jarule, which was later partly copied by 50 cent himself,bone thugg and Harmony

The only reason reason Snoop mentioned slick Rick was because it's well known in hip-hop circles he (Snoop) bites Slick style certain in the infamous line la vida something




As for rough, gruffy,snarling (like like a dog) rap delivery ,DMX ,Earl Simon is a class of his own very brutal and direct just Tupac the only other rapper who close is lilwayne


So nothing Thing like best rapper.its pure' illusion .

U are right on every other thing you said here.

But why do some of you say such about Eminem?

U all think he lacks substance in his lyrics cos most of his songs, especially his early songs were comedy-based and his delivery was playful/childish.


But what you some know is that even in those early days Eminem has some of the most poetic and serious minded songs in rap history.

1. Song for the moment

2. Renegade, (killed JAY Z). This was a very very serious song. And on face, JAYZ made it seem like a hardcore song. And Eminem murdered the song and stood by the TOPIC all thru this verses. No single deviation

3. Toy soldiers.
Jesus, that song had pure drums all thru it. And Eminem tapped to the drums all thru.
All thruuuuu

4. Loose YOURSELF

5. Till my bones collapse (feat Nate Dogg). Go and listen to this song.
Especially the second verse.


Music is like magic, there's a certain feelin' you get
When you real and you spit, and people are feelin' your shit
This is your moment, and every single minute you spend
Tryna hold on to it, 'cause you may never get it again
So while you're in it, try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over, just admit when it's at its end
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in
I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in
It goes: Reggie, JAY-Z, 2Pac and Biggie
André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
So when I'm not put on this list, the shit does not offend me
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's botherin' me
Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me
You hate it, but you know respect you got to give me
The press's wet dream, like Bobby and Whitney—Nate, hit me!


That verse you see above is obviously one of the most intelligent and serious rap verses in HIPHOP history.


Jay-Z in his entire life never ever had a verse as great as the verse you see above.


Them no born Jay-Z well to have any verse as what you just saw here. As good as Jay-Z may have been.


You owe Eminem a great apology after listening to these 5songs I pasted here. Those songs have the most substantial lyrics and creativity in music-history.

Thank you. I have been funded

WhiteIverson:
Where's Slim Shady aka Eminem, Reggie aka Redman, Jay hova aka Jay Z, Pac aka Makaveli, Biggie Smalls aka Notorious, Andre 3000, Nas, the Game omor men mount ooh.

Personally speaking, Snoop Dogg wouldn't make top 10 greatest rappers of all time but then if you don't hype yourself, no one will.
Shit, even J Cole, Kendrick, Drake, Nipsey are all better rappers than Snoop, no disrespect.

PAC or big?

Basiljoe:
Not bad.

As for me:
Kanye West
Eminem
Isaiah Rashad
Logic
Kendrick Lamar

I'm Gen-Z, I can't relate to most old school rap. I tried listening to Slick rick and Doug E fresh back in uni. Couldn't relate.🤷🏽

get out.

sprints1:
No rakim and DMX na stupid list he make other notable mentions would have been slim shady, nas. Wack list by snoop... To me Rakim is number one, 2PAC and biggie smalls not bad. Snoop Dogg only knows how to rap about women and sex nothing meaningful

do u like warren G

blowjohn:
Thank u.
Yes Jada better pass snoop.

Snoop just get swag pass am plus snoop music dey more appealing.
Jada even though he's better than snoop lyrically is too one dimensional and that's why it's easier to replay snoop albums than jadas albums

you know nothing about rap

Arizoner:

UncleSnr:
American hip-hop legend, Snoop Dogg, has revealed his top three rappers of all time in a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel. When asked to name his personal picks, Snoop confidently placed himself alongside two other iconic figures in the rap game: Slick Rick and Ice Cube.

During the interview, Kimmel posed the question, “Who are your top three greatest rappers of all time?” Without hesitation, Snoop responded, “Slick Rick, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.”

Snoop’s list has generated a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with many fans expressing surprise and disappointment over the exclusion of other renowned hip-hop figures such as 2Pac, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, and Eminem. The discussion has sparked debates about what defines the “greatest” in hip-hop, with fans weighing in on the influence and contributions of the artists Snoop chose versus those who didn’t make the cut.

While Snoop Dogg’s selection is undeniably personal, it highlights the ongoing conversation about the evolution of hip-hop and the various artists who have shaped the genre. The debate continues to rage on, showcasing the deep passion fans have for their favorite rappers and the lasting impact of these musical legends on the culture.

It's Snoop's right of choice to select and deselect whoever he wants to make the top 3 rappers.

My OG Kool Moe Dee (whose iconic rap songs I FIRST started listening to in the 1980s even made a book list of his top 50 rappers of all-time and he left out the name of Mc Hammer! I personally rate Hammer among my top 10 all-time rappers because he was a bad ass entertainer who brought the dance groove into rap and hip-hop music.

As an OG who has started listening to rap music back in the 1980s, I will say that a list of the top 3 OR top 10, OR top 20 will be too limited to pick the top rappers of all-time! A top 30 would be great for covering up the mast important male and female rappers such as Queen Latifah and Mc Lite.


I'll post some of the evergreen rap video songs right BELOW.

As an OG my all-time first top 12 rappers out of a list of 40 since I started listening to party rap and battle rap songs in the 1980s are:

My OG, LL Cool J is for me the BEST all-time rapper from the 1980s right into the 1990s and till date whose meaningful lyrics with less cussing are evergreen and even his rap songs appeal massively to the younger ones in America like the millennials (and those younger than them).


LL Cool J
Big Daddy Kane
Kool Moe Dee
Ice-T
Hammer
Heavy D
Kid 'n Play
Dr. Dre
Tupac Amaru Shakur
Scarface
Ice-Cube
Vanilla Ice (The first major White rap artiste before the rise of Eminem).
