5 Illest Emcees
 

in my opinion...

1. Eminem...raw as fuck...pure genious..no hype about it either...
2. Canibus...craz-e metas n vocab....
3. Cassidy..one of the illest battlers out there wit sick multies
4. Chamillionaire....uncrowned king of the south...n the lone lyricist...
5. Apathy..havnt heard much of him but from what ive heard he got some sickass multies and a crazy ass flow...sounds like no other

what yall think??

Nas
Canibus
Eminem(everything from eminem show and backwards)
Tupac
Either Talib Kweli, Rakim, or Big Pun

peace

1. Canibus
2. Eminem
3. Apathy (ill as fuck with multis!)
4. Nas
5. Jay-z

u people will probly think i'm crazy for puttin apathy in front of nas and jay-z, but thats just my opinion. hes got a killer flow

i almost agree wit you there though.

My list aint in any order by the way...

yeah i'd say...

eminem.
cassidy.
papoose.
nas.
kanye west.

in no order.

^^^^^How can you put Kanye West as one of the 5 illest MCs. I ain't sayin that he ain't been gradually gettin better, but when he stopped rappin to start producin he shoulda kept it that way.
I think it should be:

Tupac
Nas
Eminem
Canibus
Jay Z

In no particular order

Nas
Pac
jay z
dmx
BIG
EM

6 not 5...

But what are u basing these decisions on

Each emcee has different aspects so overall its too hard to decide do u mean skill wise? flow wise? intellectually? sale wise?
Anyway

2pac - Content was coo, flow was sick and made enough sales
Common - One of few people who people wont dowload his music but actually pay for the cd to support the artist, his flow is smoooth and fuck, his content is too ill
Immortal Technique - I love his flow i dont know why and content is sick
Copywrite - Lol no sales really but damn! content wise is brilliant + Fucking funny " 6,4 and just fucked a midget" cracks me up he is definetly ill
Mos Def - In my eyes nicer than Talib, content wise his older stuff is mos def classic i mean cumone people developed a phrase from his name lol
