>>72437188
>MC Ride
I don't really see him brought up in these discussions. But do you think he can hold his own without his group's sound? Like if he was featured on a conventional hop-hop track.

>>72437254
yeah it's also probably the most contrived and least personal

id rather have some dude have Kevin Gates and Sadistik on their list than that generic ass shit

>>72437268
>But do you think he can hold his own without his group's sound
If you go by just his lyrics he's miles ahead.

>>72437287
Yeah but Sadistik is actually good

>>72437287
>Kevin Gates and Sadisti
1. Eyedea
2. Cage Kennylz

>>72437287
Fuck you all of those are my five favorite rappers legitimately except Rakim who's 6th or 7th behind Lil Wayne and maybe Kendrick

>>72437317
so is Kevin Gates, the point is id rather have some list from left field that is personal to you than the same rappers everyone brings it in Top Rappers

Anyone who puts Kanye at top 5 knows nothing about rap. Look, I love Kanye as much as the next guy, he's my favourite hip hop artist. But he is a complete shit rapper. Tecnically speaking, even Hopsin is light years ahead of Kanye.

Why are you so hyped? Kanye's not even a "bad" rapper by any means. He has a palatable flow and delivery and his lyrics aren't the most dense but he gets his point and themes across just fine.

Off the top of my head.

>Eminem
>T.I.P.
>Nas

Honestly, order may be scuffed cuz I'm drunk but those are top 5 and TI top 3 is no negotiable because of Urban Legend, King, Heavy is the Head, and most recently Too Da Nic.

>>72435446

>>72439382
Corrected list.
>TI
>Eminem
>Nas
>Young Jeezy
>Kanye West

Honestly my dude. Urban Legend is raw. (still strait hits) Even rawer than that is I'm Serious. But King and Heavy is the Head(the hits on heavy is the Head are better, but the low points are lower) are top tier. Tip Da Nic is actually amazing everyone should hear it.

>>72439434
any tracks i can look up for a taste on youtube? t.i. that is

>>72439434
No that list is fucked too. Fucking top stop is too hard.

Maybe is
>Eminem
>Nas
>TI
>Young Jeezy
>Kanye West

That's closer. I'm not gonna artificially put Nas top because I'm not even putting Biggie on the list.

>>72439453
but biggie is sick. i was bumpin life after death in the lex today and some of his beats are just so hard

>>72439448
He has literally dozens of top tier tracks. There's a video for Trap Back Jumping that really kicks ass. Fucking TIP Da Nic is a half hour visual album and he just put it out. I guess off the top of my head I'll say Front Back featuring UGK, Get It, Ball...honestly you gotta listen to the full albums I can't name all the hits literally everything on his breakout Urban Legend is worthy of a top track list.

my niggas

Individually, Q-Tip is kind of good and Phife is crap, but together they work so well

>>72440893
true, they're better together but I really preffer phife for some reason idk, his voice and style is more fluid, Q.Tip seems too nasal and much more of a bragger than phife, i see him to be more humble about it all

MF DOOM
Nas
GZA
Biggie
Earl

>>72436912

1. Kanye West

>>72441285
on that note it's annoying how people are putting literal groups on here, otherwise it should be called top rap acts so why shouldn't we include producers too

1. MF DOOM
2. Andre
The rest

Favorite rapper? For me? Has to be nas. He's not only the fastest rapper, but also the rapper with most lyrical skill. His lyrics are sharp like a pair of scissors cutting through a pair of scissors on the paper. Nas the geratest, illmatic is a fantastic album . I hope you guys are taking notes because this shit is genius. Oh. Nas flow is like gargoyle. It only comes out when it wants to. Wait for his lyrics and be left dumbfounded you stupid fucking retards! Haha let me get a sip of coffee before i finish this post. Fucking losers. Nas is the greatest rapper for one simple reason: His flow. In my opinion? Nas is the fastest rapper but not only that the strongest rapper also. Nas is the strongest rapper, and that just really goes to show.

>>72435762

I look for lyrical depth and impressive rhyme schemes because I'm highkey a poetry nerd, I love Artists like MF DOOM, Aesop Rock, JonWayne, and Nas. I recognize that Eminem can write really well, but I just can't enjoy his sound for some reason. My favorite is probably e-dubble, I've been listening to him since his early stuff he put out around his college years. Rest easy, Evan.

Favourite:

1. Andre 3000
2. Killer Mike
3. MC Ride
4. El-P
5. Kendrick Lamar

Favourite Hip-Hop Acts

1. Run the Jewels
2. Death Grips
3. Outkast
4. A Tribe Called Quest

>>72437188
I'm not sure I'd call peep a rapper unless you mean earlier stuff like toxic city and nothing to you. His newer stuff is like punk with hip hop influence. Still a totally respectable list, I'm just not 100 on the technicalities of it.

1 Kanye West
2 Yeezus

4 Louis Vuitton Don
5 J Cole

>>72435446
Kanye might not be the best MC, but he's easily one of the most important artists. Every time he released an album it wasn't long before everyone was inspired by him. Before him, it was very rare to ever hear a high concept idea for a song. He'll be remembered as one of the most important musicians to ever live.

>>72444376
I fw you on that one. He makes experimental music while still staying close enough to the beaten path for the masses to see it.

That in itself is a skill. His influence as a rapper, artist, and producer has changed the face of rap in itself. He walked a really fine line his whole career of being experimental, but not alienating.
