Your top 5 rappers?

Like the title says, who are your top 5 rappers? You dont have to rank them. I understand that the majority of people think that rap/hip hop is a joke,

Default Your top 5 rappers?

Like the title says, who are your top 5 rappers? You dont have to rank them. I understand that the majority of people think that rap/hip hop is a joke, but for those of us that enjoy it, put them up!

For me they are:

1) Tech N9ne

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4kkzsRJObE

2) Wax

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIKA20Hgd_s

3) Eminem

No need for a video

4) Hopsin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeQWPRtxn-s

5) ˇMayday! (kind of cheating because its a group of guys with 2 vocalist)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfBcBs2iqgM


For me these guys bring fresh ideas and new sounds to music. Lyricism is pretty heavy with all of them, some of which have more clever metaphors and others have more of a story telling/message element to it.

5 is a really small number to narrow it down to....

1) Tupac. There's really no contest to me here. No other rapper can tell a story as well as he could. Nor does any other rapper have the charisma to cross over race and gender boundaries like he did.

2) A Tribe Called Quest. Individually...Meh. But together they helped create the foundation for hip-hop culture.

3) De La Soul. Best authentic Hip Hop live show you will ever go to, even now. I saw them back in 2010 and they were great.

4) Talib Kewli & Mos Def. At their best as Black Star but each could hold their own as a solo artist as well. Saw them live in 2011... not bad, but no where near as good as De La Soul.

5) Joell Ortiz - this is a personal preference. Probably not really top 5 all time (prob not even top 25), but consistently underrated. Really funny lyricist.

Over favs - Notorious BIG, Wale, Outkasts, The Roots, Mobb Deep, Little Brother, Slum Village, Wu-Tang, J-Live, Akrobatic, Guru, Eric B and Rakim... too many to list. Been listening to Hip-Hop since the mid 80s.


If you guys like Hip-Hop music (more specifically east coast) then you should check out TTTradio.net. They do a live show every friday night with multiple DJs across the country. Great show on from around 6pm-11pm depending on the DJs playing. You'll hear a lot of classic 90s stuff and some new ones too. I honestly listen to downloaded mixtapes from these guys more than anything else. best way to get a great variety.

1. UGK. Pimp C and Bun B are at the top of the list by far.
2. Tupac
3. Geto Boys
4. ESG (Sailin' Tha South is a criminally underrated album)
5.Gang Starr

Yes, 60% of my list is Houston artists. I'm biased.

Don't listen to a bunch... but I have developed a taste for Brother Ali and definitely Tupac for old-school.

Yea Id have to agree and say top 5 is such a small group for me to pick but ill give it a go..In no specific order just my top 5 would be.

1.DMX (before the bad crack habits and impersonating a police officer)
2.Wu-tang Clan (bigger fans of Ghostface Killah & Raekwon out of them all)
3.Big Pun (always amazed me how someone sooo big could lyrically spit so smooth and fast)
4.EPMD
5.Eric B. & Rakim

Of course theres bunch of others..Slick rick, dougie fresh, Geto boys, talib kweli, tribe called quest, leaders of the new school, mos def and the list goes on.. Ive always been a fan of lyricism and rap songs that told a story or could paint a picture of what the song is saying.
