I've seen snoop dog live - and he was worse than terrible. All he "sings" is a bunch of swear words strung together.

Chuck D from Public Enemy (Public Enemy is awesome!!) If you think Snoopy Dogg is the best rapper, fine with me. But even he would lose in a rap contest against Chuck D

The game hasn't had a hit since 50 kicked him out of G-Unit and all Game does now is suck up to Dre in EVERY SINGLE SONG. Eminem has had alot of pointless disgusting lyrics that are no better than the trash that is ICP. If it wasn't for a few songs like Lose Yourself and When I'm Gone and having a great producer backing him he wouldn't be nothin'.

Snoop Doggy Dogg. Deal with it.PsychoT4Prez

Everytime you make a musical thread man it ends up screwed up. I mean, you can't be serious with snoop dogg as best rapper of all time. thats completely RIDICULOUS. the guy's good, or was good, but thats it. I was in fact excepting you to say Lil wayne, omg I would've laughed.

anywayz, it's cleraly a fight between those : The Notorious B.I.G., 2pac, Nas, Jay-z, Rakim, KRS-One, Eminem and maybe some others I dont remember for the moment. But those rappers are not arguable, they all changed the game, all were awesome, all seen as real legends.

Snoop Dogg isn't really so good and his nasaly voice annoys me. For the best, it would obviously be 2Pac Shakur but everyone from NWA deserve an honourable mention. As for recent rappers, Chamillionaire is up there, I like how he's doing something original with his raps (compared to G Unit etc although I still like em)

Rap was already popular in the mainstream thanks to Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys and even people like MC Hammer prior to Snoop. The Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill album was the first rap album to hit #1 on the Billboard charts...

Snoop introduced me to rap. Of course I was pretty young at the time. After Doggy Style Snoop sucks, though, imo. Best rapper of all time is 2pac.

I know there are a lot of rappers out there that get the nod, but Nas has always been my favorite; I think he's the best.

Best lyric: I don't even know how it came to this, except that fame is, the worst known drug to man, it's stronger than, heroin, where you look iun the mirror like there I am, but still not see, what you've become, you lost one.

i can't speak for other places, but i live in NY and rap has always been a big part of urban culture here. There were and still is so much rap from various ppl/groups that its almost impossible to say who is the best. I like some songs that ppl did in the past but the rest of the world probably has never heard of them. Every afternoon, latenights and weekends the radio DJ's play tons of rap ( good and bad, old school and new) Snoop is ok but i think in some places outside of NY they overplay certain artist too much. it's just too much too say who is the best.

Eminem, Jay, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, NWA, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest, 2Pac, Biggie, and Rakim. Those guys can spit, and have classics in their belt.

Lupe Fiasco is the greatest to ever live.

His songs have so many deeper meanings.

One thing I love about his osngs are that people can relate to what he raps about, and many people can have differing views on what he is rapping about and still be right.

This guy isnt a rapper hes a poet.
