Busta is good at what he does, same with Twista, but top tier all time?

Eminem and besides Nas, I'm not really sure who comes close in terms of best of all time. Certainly some great ones, but I think those are clearly the top two IMO

Reps. Never understood the fascination with him. Whiny ass delivery and only has one subject he raps about it. Oh he makes funny music videos? Ok IDGAF.

It says previously unreleased and only a few hundred views. I've never seen it, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on any of the Chappelle DVDs??

Lot of his songs are about that. But I could name 10 great songs that arent. I think my top 5 of his would consist of it.

Lose Yourself
The Way I Am
Stan
Not Afraid
Marshal Mathers/Guilty Conscience

I'd probably take out Not Afraid and put in Criminal... I love that song.

Yes, we know. You already stated this opinion a while back.

My favs growing up were Fearless Four, Treacherous 3, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Run DMC, Whodini, LL, UTFO, Rakim, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Ghetto Boys, Special Ed, 2pac...and there were a ton of great 12 inch singles....like DJ Cheese, MC Breeze, Steady B, Rappin Duke (lol), Wuf Ticket, Nucleus, etc...

Too many to even try to remember.

I liked rap back then a lot better...it wasn't commercial like it is now, and there were some really good and diversified styles.

Its becoming tougher and tougher to find good new rap/hip hop artists. Most are underground and are great until they sign that record deal and sell out

Some artists/groups from back in the day are still putting good music out there. I picked up the Smif-n-Wessun + Pete Rock collabo album "Monumental" several months ago. QUALITY shit. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like that NY Hip-Hop sound/style or were a big Boot Camp Clik or Pete Rock fan....add this to your collection.

I know a lot of you guys hate him, and he's certainly not the greatest of all time, but my personal favorite is and always will be 'Ye. In thirty years I think he'll be showing up on lists a lot more. No rapper has ever been as successful in changing their style as many times as he has. Everything he puts out is a classic, and a lot of it has to do with him surrounding himself with a good cast. I've never heard a bad feature on a Kanye album.

Skip to 0:56 to get to the song.


For the purpose of the poll, it's gotta be Nas.

I enjoy some of his stuff. But his last album he pulled an Andre 3000 and just got entirely too weird

I was never too into the West Coast scene...but I did enjoy NWA for what it was. The first West Coast album that I thought was really good was The Chronic. I liked a few of Too Short's cuts too.

Agree that Kanye will be on these lists years from now. Double threat as producer and rapper. Wasn't crazy about 808's and Heartbreaks but think everything else he's put out has been genius. Sure, he's a dick but his music is still great IMO.
