Noone is dissing the game, I'm dissing Jay-z who was massivly dissed by Nas.
no rap artist can be great! rap is awful
Glad to hear that. Why don't you go make a thread all about it so then can talk about it there instead of here.Originally Posted by final-andy
Greatest rapper ever is hard. It's definately NOT 2Pac. He was no more than 'ok'. Then his pathetic 'disses' to NYC, any respect that idiot had was lost then.
It would be Biggie. There has been nothing like him since. Great lyrics, amazing flow, funny, serious. I could go on. There's also Jigga, underneath the bad commercial albums, he's an amazing emcee. Nas released one of the greatest albums ever in Illmatic. You have Cormega, Kool G Rap, Mobb Deep & Raekwon.
There is an amazing amount of greatness on the underground scene too. Slug from Atmosphere, Vinnie Paz from Jedi Mind Tricks, Sage Francis, Immortal Technique, Cage, Esoteric, JUICE, Jean Grae, Outerspace, MURS, Styles of Beyond etc etc
Too many to name.
Busta Rhymes has always been a favourite, tunes like Fire It Up and Gimme some more make him my personal favourite ( even though he isnt really doing anything that great nowadays )
Vybz cartel is another great artist, although people would probably put him under Reggae.
Pharaoh Monche is great, Probably made the greatest Hip Hop tune ever, Simon says.
I guess Nas should be mentioned, best tune is Nas is like.
I like 2pac, but hes only got massive recognition because hes dead, sorry if that sounds mean :(
Guess the final of my list is Biggy, 10 Crack Commandments and Juicy are smurfing great tunes.
I'd pick between Busta and Biggy.
Best quote, Hmmmmm, "Im more ill than an asthmatic on crack"
:D
Keep your opinions to yourself, oh and you couldnt be further from the truth.
Well, kinda. He more mixes pretty much anything he likes together, so sometimes you've got rap, but them sometimes you've got something more like a serenade. But yeah, he's pretty goddamn brilliant, whatever you count him as.
Anyway, my fave rap artist would have to be Sage Francis.
"i'm a man now (a real man)
not the one who went to two colleges
grovellin' over meal plans
i'm starin' at the ceiling fan
all wide-eyed
amazed by the ways the blades break the silence
i used to be afraid of firin'
it sounded startling
but now i'm starting to hate the quiet moments
might remind you of a mike
by the way i hold it (to the grill)
a homophobic rapper
unaware of the graphic nature of phallic symbols
tragically ironic, suckin' off each others' gats & pistols"
Immortal Technique. Industrial Revolution makes my pants haaappy.
Edit: Oh. Quote. Uh, from The Point of No Return: "I know I'm alive when I bleed, from now on it can never be the same as before because the place that I'm from doesn't exist anymore."

Originality is good, kids.
"I'm broke as hell, my attitude is no good
Like working for white people after watching rosewood"
2 Pac beefed with JayZ, Nas, and Mobb Deep, and slaughtered them on his albums, but who do they praise whenever they come out with an album now, Nas even raps to remixed 2Pac songs, thats called respect.Greatest rapper ever is hard. It's definately NOT 2Pac. He was no more than 'ok'. Then his pathetic 'disses' to NYC, any respect that idiot had was lost then.

The fact that no one has even bothered to mention a female rapper, just goes to prove how male dominated the genre is. In my opion, Lauryn Hill could out rap any male rapper out there today. She's incredibly talented, her mic is way better than most male rappers.
Yeah I've known for awhile now. He's been supposedly been doing alot of work in the underground for a couple of years now but I still haven't heard him. I'm anxious to see if he sounds like Eazy.
Her rhymes are more poetic then anything, I dont think she is much of a battle emcee. But this Genre isnt supremely dominated by Male rappers, Queen Latifah before she started doing movies used to rip male rappers apart in battles in New Jersey, Eve, Trina, Missy Elliot, MC Lyte have all went Platinum and Gold, that means someone out their likes them.
