I was just thinking to myself... I always considered 2pac as the best rapper. But then I thought "Why?" and I came to a realization that the main reason I thought that was cos everyone else did. So I searched a bit and found out that his meaning, delivery and passion was the main reason people said he was the best. Lyrically, he is above average, with consistent multi's (althought they arent too complex) and poetic elements.

But then I thought, what if to someone else, lyrics meant everything? To them Canibus, Rakim or Nas could be the best. What if they thought flow was the most important? Then Jay-Z or Biggie might be the best for them. What if they found relevance the most vital? Then Public Enemy or Immortal Technique could be their choice of "the best".

I came to the conclusion that all good rappers have their own qualities which could potentially make them "the best rapper"... and that it all mattered on your personal taste.

What do you guys think?
