BRAHHHS! I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A RAP BATTLE.
ANYONE WANT TO? Don't copy cheap shit, I'll prolly know where it's from.
CALL OUT A PERSON AND LET'S START THIS SHIT ! BAUAHA

Not greatest but good. There are too many people to go through to become the "greatest" namely, Nas, Dre, Game, Ghostface, and probably Jay-Z, even though he shot himself in the foot on his last couple albums. Looks like he is trying to turn it around though.

I would argue that Dre is before "our generation", but yes he is probably the most influential of all time. Jay-Z is great, but not the greatest. Nothing really besides Dre can touch Tech N9ne imo

Snooooop needs to be on that list.

No.

[Vexage]

Dre was huge in the 90s, forgive me if I assume but we are 90s kids, I think thats our generation.

And you're crazy if you don't think snoop belongs on the list. Majority of his stuff is great, and he was key for spear heading raps popularity in the 90s.

Also, Tech is good, but he takes a back seat to a lot of rappers. Second tier probably, not meaning to hate here. I know I'll argue my favorites to the death too.

Thanks for helping out, can't believe people are really hating on snoop.
Side note, is his new album good? Haven't had time to listen to it.

[xZel]

No.

What what whaaaaa?!?
Not on the listen? Go listen to the Chronic and Doggystyle.

This thread made me want to listen to Doggystyle today. SO good.

Fair enough. I kind of think of the generation outlook as being around and at a point in your life where you're able to take part in that certain thing. I wasn't listening to Dre in the 90's is all I'm saying.

lol @ snoop

I don't think Snoop is bad just like i don't think Lil Wayne is bad...I just think that the music is more important than the image, and both of them are known/loved in a lot of cases for more than just what the produce, which is the only important factor to me. Just like I don't care if you look like Manson or eat shit on stage like Alice Cooper...if they are talented and the music is good, I will buy and listen.

Pardon my dirty south roots.... but Lil' Wayne goes the fuck off the chain. If you get the chance download his mixtape No Ceilings... It's free.... it says so in like the 3 interludes, lol. He took a lot of other people's beats and murcs them. His Tonight Is Going To Be A Good Night remix is one of my favorites....

Also... Let me stop to recognize Z-RO for being one of the sickest rappers alive.

DJ Screw RIP.

Ludacris kicks some shit too....

and I'm a huge Jay-Z fan up until after Black Album when he supposedly retired. He really shaped rap/hip-hop and was very futuristic.

Eminem was always a fav. when I was younger.... now his shit just sounds too childish. (Not his older Albums.... just the newer ones)

Asher Roth.... his flow is sick.... and his vernacular is fucking ridiculous. So you will hear my subs bumping to his shit (If I can ever get no ceilings out of my CD deck! LOL)

I think I love you.

Just feeling nostalgic for this era again. The new era of hip-hop dubbed the "Bling" era is progressively getting worse.

I'm not saying his image has anything to do with it. His early raps were amazing at a time when really no one else was as big. He was one of the first huge rap stars in the US.

I agree. There aren't many quality rappers left in this era, and songs are going downhill.

Snoop spearheaded the gangster rap movement, which is huge. He gets an auto include on "best rappers of all time" just for that. Weezy will probably be on that list too someday, unfortunately.

[jonnykun]

seems like TI is a favorite on this thread.. i like TI too, but favorite is jay-z. best ever!

[Atmosphere]

WU TANGG !

[Vexage]

WU TANGG !

Help yeah Wu Tang. Single handedly reviving rap twice when it was about to cave in. The worst rapper in the W is better than most rappers on today.

If we are talking about rap roots we need to mention Sugarhill Gang. Throw on rappers delight or apache at a party and watch stuff go down.

[jonnykun]

you guys think 90s hip hop or 2000 hip hop better?

I'd say it was big enough to get him into best rappers of all time. Weezy does have some great raps but hes slowly selling out.

Sugarhill gang is so good.

I'm imp the dip, the lady's pimp. The women fight for my delight, but im the grandmaster with the three mc's who shock the house for the young ladyyyssss.
Still have that song memorized.

[vendetta.inc]

Seems you forgot about Dre. (clever pun intended).

Dre was huge back in the 90's, and as you should all know, created Eminem. From there, Eminem found 50, D12, and everyone else they are involved with. Dre started it all.

[Vexage]

90s hip hop is a million times better than anything out today. The caliber of the rapper was much better, and they were doing it because they liked to/ to get off the streets. Today they only want money.

I think Dre was mentioned like 10 times by now, but her is always worth mentioning again. Too bad the only thing good thing to come out of the rest of that was g-unit mixtapes (which are awesome, go listen) and eminem. D12 was a shit show from the beginning.

[saif]

90's hip hop owned these pac takers and fakers.

compare that little shit Wayne's Hit em Up with the legendary 2pac's version then you'll know the difference.

2pac and westside for life.

Pac has one of the few songs where I'll condone use of an auto tuner. Still, I'm a biggie man at heart.

[juliet]

heh, i like eminem, but im kinda disappointed with relapse. . also disappointed with ppl who use auto tune too, like t-pain lol.

[Fatal]

Tech N9ne, Brotha Lynch, and Gucci Mane
