Mystery~murdera 11-04-03 09:17 PM

this is y some people are ill n some are not... You have to know hip-hop history to know what makes it good. If you knew what made an emcee good some of those disgraceful list would not be up there. As I have it.

In Random Order:

Pac
Big
Jay-z
Big L (lets see how many peeps kno who this is)
Em...maybe Rakim, or Kane

junio sixnine 11-04-03 09:29 PM

wtf you people...

pac
biggie
nas
em
rakim, or snoop, outkast, shit like that, could all fit in the 5th spot evenly

Dez 11-04-03 09:32 PM

how the fuck are you guys putting Pac, Biggie, Eminem, Snoop, Jay-z., etc. on the list? seriously.....



just because they sell more records to 15 year old white kids doesnt mean they are some of the best of all time.

A2Z 11-04-03 09:47 PM

Ps: Mystery...I know who Big L is.

records sell mean shyt when ur labeled as one of the best

biggie
banks
jay-z
bleek
McGruff

Dez 11-04-03 11:31 PM

but you must ask yourself, why are they labeled by some that way? is it because of their marketable qualities, or is it the fact that they were shot? if Biggie and Pac were alive today, even Big L for that matter, they would NOT be in such high regards.


they just simply werent that good. period.

diZasterous 11-04-03 11:44 PM

yah records mean shit, i think if a rapper (2pac) has a mural of him in every country, his own school, own college courses, millions of books and movies on him, and to some english philosophers (this is true read it somewhere) think that Pac wrote better than shakespeare, than i think, i know that pac is one of the best

1>2pac
2>biggie
3>outkast
4>DMX
5>Nas

i agree wit DIZ PAC was a mothafuckin genious if he was still alive he would be just as good if not BETTER cause he just kept on elevatin and his poetry was ILL too I DON"T KNOW WTF DEZYR is talkin about

yah records mean shit, i think if a rapper (2pac) has a mural of him in every country, his own school, own college courses, millions of books and movies on him, and to some english philosophers (this is true read it somewhere) think that Pac wrote better than shakespeare, than i think, i know that pac is one of the best

Phrantik 11-05-03 02:14 AM

nelly
ja rule
sisqo
phrantik
eminem

wogzta 11-05-03 03:06 AM

^ except for eminem, i hope your joking... oh and you too. you are ill

every good rapper, mainstream or not, has his or her own rap qaulities which in some ones mind may be suitable to give them a spot in the top 5... but since i dont like comparing mainstream and underground, cos theyre heaps different, ill make 2 lists:

mainstream:
1/ Pac
2/ biggie
3/ eminem
4/ nas
5/ jay-z OR rakim

underground:
1/canibus (i hope he still counts as underground)
2/ copywrite
3/ aesop rock

i cant really decide from the other underground ones.. most of them are equally dope in their own way

and for those who put bow wow and nelly in there lists.... <rips hair out in fury>...

BFire 11-05-03 08:02 AM

1) Tragedy Khadafi
2) 2pac
3) Big L
4) Canibus
5) Cormega

I.M.LEERY 11-05-03 09:36 AM

No Order...

Vinnie Paz
Slug
Apathy
CopyWrite
Big L ( Sorry But he has to be on the list)

Dez 11-05-03 02:26 PM

2Pac sucked.

MyNd. FuLL 11-05-03 02:35 PM

its all about preference guys...some people may not know who Big L is and some may think chingy is dope..its all about personal preference thats all..so just becuz someone doesn't mention your top five don't mean they dont know shit about hip hop or rap music..it just simply means they prefer to listen to these particular artist and therefore consider them the best...
anyway on to my top five..

jay-z
biggie
nas
andre "ice cold" 3000
pac

these are my top five..some may consider them commercial
some may think they are trash
and some may agree wit me
bottomline they are my personal favorite artist
out

Dez 11-05-03 02:37 PM

Tha illest alive 11-05-03 03:28 PM

Aight Yo.....

1. 2 Pac-.....reason he was ill as fuck tha best ever....a genious at writin and makin songz......and i'm not one of those people that are just on his dick cuz he died.....he had ill ass lyrics could speak on real world shit and still use complex lyrics.....he was tha best songwriter ever.......every break through with lyrics that people use today he was tha one that started doing them with constistency from song to song and he went into tha studio with energy that that no one topped back then and that no one has topped even today...and if he was alive he would still be tha best.....

2. Eminem....i dont care what none of ya'll say this man is a genious at making rap music.....and he learned from pac what pac was doing with his lyrics and he took that and elevated it to a different level......he has tight flow tight lyrics and true songs and great albumz....and one of tha best songz to me eva was "Infinite" ..that shit was ill and since he went mainstram..he's only gettin better at makin music..........and if you dont agree with me i dont give a fuck.......

3.Biggie...reason had tha illest flow i ever heard had ill lyrics.....and made a huge impact on tha rap game and tha hip hop community around tha world.......had a presence on tha mic that just caught you no matta what you was doing........good ass storyteller also......and had one of tha best albumz ever with ready to die......and if he was alive he'd be one of tha best still..........

4.Nas-..this emcee is great with his lyrics and has good flow and speakz real shit......his beatz are kinda lacking as of lately but he knowz how to spit to them and make em work.....i dont hold him as high as tha otherz i mentioned but he definitely in tha right place at #4................

5.Rakim-.....for tha simple fact that he revolutionized rap with his punchlinez and tha shit he was saying back then that no one else was saying........he's one of th main figures in hip hop........people before him used some punchlinez but tha shit he was saying was just crazy ill.......and everyone after him that spitz punchlinez even all you muhfuckas that be spittin "Ill" punchlinez it is becuz this man back in tha oldschool dayz was spittin that shit first.......and brought rap music up to a whole different level.............

[pretty much tied with 5 or right out side of it would be ..snoop,dre,ice cube,eazy e,run dmc,kool g rap,LL cool J,jay z.......]

and if ya dont agree oh well thats just me......
