Justin Bieber, of course.

[StrikeFreedom]

Jay-Z is the greatest rapper of all time. All time.

Ok seriously, if you don't believe me download the Blueprint 3. You will be amazed.

[Johnnyboy]

personally i think eminem is the best rapper alive.

[bball4eva]

Eminem is a joke...all his stories about his horrid childhood and how it messed him up for life is bs. Have a friend who went to school with the poor, troubled Marshall Mathers. He wasn't troubled at all as a youth so all those raps about it throw them out the window and realize he's nothing.

Lil'Wayne

[Jakerz]

Eminem is the best by far imo.

Notable mentions include Jay-z, nas, lil wayne, tupac, biggie.. can't think of any others atm but I'm sure a few have slipped my mind

[Amagius]

Nas. MF DOOM. Biggie.
If you like rap, these men are all classics you should (never used slightly) visit.

Outkast. Talib Kweli. Mos Def. Atmosphere.
These MCs hardly get the recognition they deserve.

Jurassic 5. A Tribe Called Quest. Pharcyde.
Some of the oldies that will be missed. It is not NWA, it is not DJ Jazzy Jeff, it's the old time conscious shit.

Eminem

[Stunnerrunner]

I vote Busta Rhymes... He was awesome on Chris Brown's Look At Me Now.

[James]

You should listen to Tech N9ne - Worldwide Choppers if you like fast flow. lol

I vote Based God because he fucked all my bitches.

[Galadriel]

Soulja Boy up in it oh

I kid. The only rap I can tolerate us eminem.
BUT if you guys want a shock to the system, listen to "Die Antwoord". Though it probably will be a different experience for you since you can't understand everything they say.

I am not a fan of rep, but if I exclude local reppers in my country, my vote goes to Eminem. I used to listen to him a lot when I was 14-15

[MEGAKICK]

This is a tough one;

Will Smith and Kevin Federline are both pretty insane... although I think this one will have to go to Vanilla Ice...



Hmm... But then again...

This might just be my favourite rap song. Ever.

[Randi]

Not sure about this one.. Most of them have their moments.. I am really like Drake these days though.. I don't think he'll be somebody who is remembered though 150 years down the road.

[Xiphos]

im biased cuz im an old head and im from new york, so Notorious BIG.

im not really into the new shit like rick ross, wiz, wayne, drake, soulja boy and lil b. like some tracks do sound pleasing but most are the same thing. the beats i will say are better now than before but the old music is throwback.

wu tang clan, biggie, pac, nas, AZ, dipset, busta rhymes. people that were whack back in the day are ill to me now a days like ja rule.. new "rap" is shit

and i noticed everyone loves eminem, he didnt do anything great besides bringing weird music to the game. if you look at his songs it looks like somebody with schizo wrote it. hes still good but i wont call him a legend

[STP]

Eminem takes it in my opinion. His songs have a profound meaning compared to many mainstream rappers.

[likerobots]

i'm surprised so many people have mentioned weezy.
He's actually one of the only rappers/hiphop artists i listen to. but his style, lyrics, flow, it really seems ... 'off' to me. it doesn't seem like rap. doesn't seem like what i imagine would constitute to a great rapper.
i mean. his music is great but crowning him a great rapper? i'm quite ambivalent towards going there.
maybe i'm overthinking things.
okay i probably am.
