I love most rap... but my favorite rapper of all-time is Royce da 5'9". Download his independents day album that came out like a year ago... and all his old shit's hot too...

Mos Def, Nas, Rakim would be my next 3 for favorite...

and since this is a fav rapper thread, I know the guys not a good rapper but I llike Lil Scrappy's songs because they're all catchy and stay with you forever, I still get syked when I hear No problems come on, or Money in da bank.

IMO the best rapper/lyracist ever was Biggie. No one, IMO(remember that), can or will be able to touch the flow/rhyming/presence that he had while he was in the booth.

X2 on Big L check out his new Mixtape by DJ Rukiz (Unsolved Mysteries 2)

I would tack Immortal Technique up on the list as far as lyricysts go. Like alot of Tech N9ne and any thing that comes out of Chicago besides Kanye. And of course those that go without saying: Pun, Biggie, M.O.P, (Old/Infinite/unreleased) Eminem

I gur-ant-ee you don't know more about "hip hop" than anybody on this site. 2Pac, Jay-Z, Biggie.................they're not hip hop. You might now more mainstream rap, maybe, but probably not. I listen to underground anyway and I'll still say 2Pac was underrated. People say he's good and don't even know why!! They just say it cuz other people say it. Brenda's Baby, America's Most Wanted, Changes, ... all those contradict you trying to say he's all gangsta. The man was sensitive. Go listen to Brenda's Baby. Anyway, you got some leanring to do. AND, as far as staying power, they're dudes that did rap before, and will will be here after Jay-Z, Nas are gone. Unless they blow up, but I doubt it...

dude your an idiot...I said he was TWO dimensional...if he WASN'T being deep in his songs he was talking about how gangster he was....if I got learning in Hip Hop you need to learn how to read....you're a moron...go back and read BOTH of my posts about my argument of 2pac...and there's always going to be people rapping...so?....don't mean Jay Z and Nas will always be the best...but as of now...they are...you're a fool...what learning do I have to do? Do you know ANYTHING about lyrics or lyricism? Show me an example of wordplay...a multi...or some metaphors....dude read the whole post before you quote it....idiot...

I know Hip Hop probably more then almost anyone on this site....and 2pac is top 15 at best.....what he did for the rap game was amazing....but lyrically he was nothing special...he was 2 dimensional....he had no wordplay....very few meta's...and very seldom did he ever used multi's...he was 2 dimensional in the essence of...if his song wasn't deep it was about how "gangsta" or untouchable he was.....2pac portrayed his death through his music for years...so when he finally died the world went apeshit...people confuse controversial with "being the best"....since the world went into an uproar when he died and supposedly faked his death and his music portrayed all of it people claimed him to be the best...if he was still alive he would have been in everybody's top 15 instead of top 3...here's an analogy....you hear a song on the radio...you don't like it....but you keep hearing it...eventually it grows on you and you love it...well people keep hearing 2pac is the best over and over and over again eventually people start believing it when they have no right to to....I respect the fact you relate to his lyrics and thats why he's your favorite...then he should be....this is for the people who just claim him to be the best because everybody else does....Biggie was WAAAYYYYY better....and 2pac could never touch the Depth of Nas or the Consistency of Jay Z...you want a work-a-holic? Jay Z put out 11 solo Albums in 11 years...plus group albums....built his own empire from the ground up without being signed....not to mention all the verses he had from being featured on other artists albums...like I said 2pac to ME is top 15...nothing more....nothing less....

there I spelled it out for you Vladipusss...you moron

that's all your biased opinion. it's obvious when you say biggie is better than 2pac. while most of us 2pac fan's opinion is 2pac is hands down better than biggie in every aspect. biggie loses hundreds of points for being a fake fat-*** who raps about a lifestyle he never lived until he had money and everyone REAL knows that. true, he had a style, but his words literally don't mean shit. REAL rappers don't focus on their rhyme content.. they focus on the lyrical content and message they want to put across. if you want to listen to what's going on in the streets would u rather hear it from the people ON the streets, or from watching the news on TV.... tupac was more educational in every way. he educated about the streets and what went on in it.. he pointed out the corruption in our society.. he made an example out of himself, fully aware of it... in an early interview with him with MTV he admits he started rapping for the children.. hence, songs like brenda's got a baby and keep ya head up.. he wanted to have a positive effect on communities.. he never took a violent approach at the beginning of his career.. but when he got ridiculed and patronized by the media he became a more "angry" artist if you will.. tupac lived a very controversial life.. he's a very good example of what becomes of poverty. he reminded us that just because we're all living our dandy white-american lives doesn't mean the people in the ghetto hustling for a meal are.. ironically, he is poetic justice.

check the first five words you said to me...and then read your post....
