**seeric** · 05-19-2008, 08:35 AM

Jay-Z
Eminem
BIG
TUPAC

if you're an old school fan you won't like my picks. I like new school rap and hip hop..

**st0ned** · 05-19-2008, 08:39 AM

Without a doubt Tupac was the best.

Biggie Smalls or Big L

**Roald** · 05-19-2008, 09:27 AM

Oh shit! I totally forgot about Nas!

Ok, updated list:

KRS-One
Nas
Eminem
Aesop Rock

**notoldschool** · 05-19-2008, 09:42 AM

Beastie Boys because Licensed to Ill album is the greatest selling rap album of all time and that shit is tight to this day.

Run DMC because they were the inventors who made many huge hits without a single Curse word or negative messege. Not easily done.

LL Cool J because hes bad.

**Socks** · 05-19-2008, 09:59 AM

ll cool j? lolz.. The "greatest of all time" what a joke..

Anyways the best rappers ever are:

Rakim
Kool G Rap
Nas

Honourable mentions go to:

Biggie
2pac
Jay-Z
Andre 3000
Copywrite
C-Rayz Walz
Chino XL
Cage
Redman
Eminem
AG (Andre the Giant from Showbiz & AG)
Big L
Canibus
Common
Mad Skillz
Ras Kass
Masta Ace

Lots I'm forgetting.. But those are my picks for best ever, lengthy careers, hot lyrics, and they're all very original.

You can't have a top 3 without Rakim or Kool G Rap. Sorry

**I'm Looking For A...** · 05-19-2008, 10:00 AM

jump, bitches

**born4porn** · 05-19-2008, 10:01 AM

Run DMC
LL Cool J

Ironically enough, Lil Wayne never used to curse in his rhymes either. He was always hanging around the Cash Money crew, and they would get him to spit rhymes to them.. They said they wanted him to join their group (he was like 13-14 maybe) but they said he needed to ask his mom.. ;) She made a deal with him that he could join their group, as long as he promised to keep his rhymes clean, no cursing... And he agreed.

**Chauncy** · 05-19-2008, 10:07 AM

Chuck D

**J-Reel** · 05-19-2008, 10:19 AM

Chuck D

**Poindexterity** · 05-19-2008, 10:24 AM

obviously, KRS is the reigning ruler,
but black thought from the roots has
some of the most clever word combos
ive ever heard. i think he gets slept on
too much cause his band is so bad ass.

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-19-2008, 10:25 AM

LL cool J ? hahahahhh

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-19-2008, 10:26 AM

Nas is good but not as good as tupac imo

**Martin** · 05-19-2008, 10:27 AM

I always liked Nas.

I must agree, he gets slept on because he's part of the group rather than just being "Black Thought". I have this podcast with a remix of Zen Approach, sickness.

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-19-2008, 11:12 AM

KRS ....his sicc

ROFL.

As a rapper Biggie Smalls is better but Tupac's songs are quality. Jedi Mind Tricks, Eminem, Big L, Kanye, Jay-Z, DMX, RA The Rugged Man, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Wu-Tang...

These new rappers are shit IMO. Lil Jon, Lil Wayne and others, such fucking shit.

**Word2348** · 05-19-2008, 11:20 AM

i'll tell you the best lyrcist of all time

Nas

**CyberAgeGary** · 05-19-2008, 11:30 AM

It's hard to believe that Fifty Cents is nowhere on this list.. I would put him in the top 5 at least.. How about Eminem?

**psili** · 05-19-2008, 11:37 AM

[QUOTE=notoldschool;14206836]Beastie Boys because Licensed to Ill album is the greatest selling rap album of all time and that shit is tight to this day.

Yup: In no particular order:

Adam Yauch
Michael Diamond
Adam Horovitz

50 cent, you avin a laugh? Fair enough his songs are good, but he is not talented IMO.

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-19-2008, 12:09 PM

Tupac and some of the others are on a different level ...than many rappers today

**CurrentlySober** · 05-19-2008, 12:14 PM
