Who do you guys think is the best rapper?

I've always been a fan of Busta Rhymes even though I don't much care for rap anymore. He was pretty awesome back in the day. I actually have a couple of his CDs.

Kinda hard to choose. For me it's between Andre 3000 or Rakim or both. :D

Really, stating whos the "best rapper" is100% subjective. Many of the guys you mentioned are good, but in overall termsyou cant saythis guy or that guy is"the best of all times". For example Rakim and Guruboth havevery intelligent lyrics, i like listen to them. But if we are talking about single aspects in rapping, someone like a "best rapper" doesnt exist. If someone says, Souljaboy is the "best rapper" (really cant understand THAT lol ), i show you dozens of rappers with much better flow, if someones says 50 cent is the "best rapper", i show you dozens of rappers with muuuch more intelligent lyrics and so on. You should ask instead: Whos your favourite rapper? That would make sense.

I would think it is pretty obvious who the best rapper is.

MC Hammer!!

Nasir Jones AKA Half-Man Half-Amazing AKA Nas

Im surprised no J Dillah.

My favorites...Im leaving a lot out, some have been mentioned already...in no order Black Thought and Malik B , Ghostface Killah, KRS-1, the dudes from De La Soul, Jay-Z, Common...Rhymefest..corny ass name but he flows.

are we including hip hop?

If so my vote goes to Aesop Rock. Man his lyrics are awesome.

For gangster rap (oops, i mean gangsta) I gotta say Andre Nickatina or Mac Dre

Nas, illmatic is amazing

Immortal Technique, he's great. Lil Wayne is a disgrace however. jointed

Rap is dead, it gets all the crap from people who think they know music because of posers like 50 Cent and Soulja KiddFirstDiscovery

Since this is just a opinion my favorite rapper/Hip-hop artist is a guy named Charles Hamilton, if you don't know him just look him upSunamaru

Why cause he shares your love of Sonic?

I got one of his mixtapes, he okay.

Heh... I've got 13 of his mixtapes. He puts out too many. He put out 3 mixtapes in one week around Valentine's Day.

I have the Hamiltization Process, The highlight reel mixtape where they take the best tracks from all his mixtapes, he's just okay to me.

Lil Wayne. He said it in one of his songs so it must be true :P

DYLAN HE SPITS HOT FIYA!!!. If only there was a best. It is your favorite..it is just an opinion. But a garbage one in my opinion(the op's, seeing as Lil Wayne has terrible lyrics and Pac is just hyped up so much because he is dead, he was good, but not the best). Really it should be who is/are your favorite rapper(s). I think that would be better :P. For me, it would be Lupe and Nas, they keep great lyrics and don't have to talk/rap extremely slow like Immortal Technique who only talks conspiracy and wars and such. No variety :?. Honorable mentions for me...Jay Electronica, Common, Rakim and KRS One.

Quasimoto. Madlib needs to make a new one.Wilfred_Owen

Madlib's Quasimoto voice is probably the most annoying voice in hip-hop, makes Lil Wayne sound like Marvin Gaye. I dunno why people are even naming producer first/rapper distant second people like J Dilla and Madlib in the first place. Madlib and Dilla are amazing producers, mediocre rappers at best. At least pick a producer/rapper like Large Pro or Lord Finesse...

Eminem (How ever you spell it). He actually rhymed, it flowed, and he was funny (Oh! And he was white, too!).

obviously T.i as he actually talks about something rather than hoes, money, cars, and weed like lil wayne. i dont know about these other guys eryones talking bout. just my opinion (dont hate)pinkdog23

"You can have whatever you like!"

that **** sucked.

I like T.I. but he does talk about cars, money, women. But since he got charged he stopped talking about guns and drugs.

You know I miss. Keith Murray, enigma era stuff. him and Red were my favorites at that point,before red went off with meth and Keith went to jail. they did a lot with sermon if I remember correctly.mattykovax

I really just remember Keith verse off Special Delivery

"I school more ****** than the United Negro College Fund"

that line had me estatic when I heard it.
