And to all the Nas haters, find about an hour and a half of free time, and just listen to Illmatic, beginning to end. Forget God's Son, Nastramadus, Stillmatic....just listen to Illmatic. If you can't appreciate something so beautiful, if after listening to Illmatic you still believe fools like Shaq--SHAQ?! Which anonymous fool put Shaq there?--or 50 or Lloyd Banks or Young Buck or Mike Jones are better than Nas, you really can't appreciate rap.

50 cent was good on get rich or die tryin
nas has got such good lyrics.
anyway i got a new top 10 now:

Tupac

scarface
jay-z
ludacris

eminem should just quit rapping cause now hes trash his new *** is just wack cause he just fools around to much and just talks about his life when hes rich as hell

Iam no fan of eminem but tupac was rich as hell to......Tupac was good for one reason he was a concious rapper which is somthing you dont see today. But the best? Hell no hes the best in catergory of concious rapper but best of all time? Naw hes overrated the best rapper of all time overall is KRS-ONE. The best lyricicist Big L. The best freestyler Super Nat. Best concious rapper Pac or Bone Thugs tough choice but overall rappers it would go

1) KRS-ONE
2) Big L
3) Biggie
4) Pun
5) Rakim
6) Pac
7) A.G
8) Eric B
9) Show Biz
10) Lord Fineese

aight, first off, Big L is the best rapper ever, and would've been more popular than Pac n Biggie if it wasnt for his short life. Every single one of his lines will leave your jaw hanging. He had great creativity, and some excellent beats.

2.Rakim

3.KRS1

4.Biggie

5.AZ

6.Tupac (dont get me wrong, very good, but a bit overrated after his death)

7.Canibus

8.Pun

9.Jay-Z

10.Nas

N bout #8 in his list, Eric B, doesnt really belong there, cuz he didnt rap, he n Rakim were a duo, in which Rakim did the rappin, n Eric B did the beatz n the scrathez. Now i dunno if he became a rapper after he n Rakim seperated, but not that i kno of. if he did, can sumone hook me up wit sum of his trax, cuz i have never heard him rap before.

1. Tupac

2. Nas

3. Eminem

4. Eric B. and Rakim

5. A Tribe Called Quest

ok go listen to a few songs: Almost anything by 2pac, all of illmatic and ether on stillmatic, Rock Bottom and I'm Shady, Eric B. is President and Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em, Can I Kick It and Excursions.

I definetly say Tupac is the best. Explanation:
He had a reason for his music, because his lyrics weren't about ho's or cars but things that happen and really draw you in. Kids to white boys to even old people liked Tupac. That's what made him as real as he was. And he always was down to die for what he represented.

So my top 10:

Tupac

Eminem

Nas

Dr.Dre

Young Buck

Kanye West

Snoop Dogg

LL Cool J

Lloyd Banks

50 Cent (when he had serious lyrics)

sorry, exaclty when did 50 Cent have serious lyrics?

When did 50 have serious lyrics? How about you check out everything PRIOR TO and INCLUDING Get Rich or Die Tryin'... you want to see him shine lyrically? Check out his album under TrackMaster, Power of the Dollar. That album is FIRE and is an instant classic for 50. 50 isn't the best rapper by far, but he has the potential to be without a doubt. You gotta understand that getting rich in this rap *** doesn't mean you're lyrical, it means you're mainstream. Getting rich means you spit lyrics that people can understand and lipsync. When you start gettin to metaphoric like Canibus, you're bound to fall off. 50 is mainstream because he wants $, and once he's satisfied that greed of money, I can guarantee you that he will get back to his lyric roots and he will grow as a rapper. If he survives all this beefs, you will see 50 become one of the greatest rappers ever.

I think that we have covered the best rap artists if you run through everyones quotes. I think that we missed someone out who contributed massivly to hip hop/rap - Which is Chuck D.

I think we need to define what we mean by greatest, eg . .

Flow - Biggie, Nas or Mob Deep.

Ability to make people stop and listen Chuck D

Ability to make people stop and listen and then act Tupac

Best story teller - oh gotta be Biggie

Best Selling Well love them or hate them 50 Cent or Jay Z - I would say 50 Cent coz other than the beatles no one else has had 4 track in the billboard chart at high positions at the same time and his stats for record sales on Get Rich monster anything Jay Z has done.

Greatest Rap About Anything U Like MC - I think Em and he has killer freestyles.

Most Intense - DMX

Mosty Promising Talent/Musical Ability - Mr West

Longest Serving Talent - KRS1 - Even some of the greats have bitten his *** over the decades.

There are loads of others out there that are great from past and present like Easy E, Big Pun, Big L, Big Daddy Kane ICE T.

My personal has to be BIGGIE - He freestyle was killer, his story telling always kept you begging for the next line, smooth flows weather it was quick spitting or slow'd up and live he was in a league of his own.

Kp - Out

Tupac definitely belongs at number one. Eminem writes clever lyrics but most a good majority of his songs are cheesey. There are alot of lyricists who top him because, although ems' lines are clever, he does not use very many litterary elements. A good lyricist writes songs that sound like they are about one thing but if you put some thought into them are about something completely different. Listen to a rapper named cormega who, in my oppinion, is hands down the best lyricist ever. Not the best ever but, to me, a distant first lyrically. Written and freestyling. Eminem is meerely top 5 or 10.
