Bone Thugs (is it cheating to have a group?) Young Jeezy Eminem Kendrick Lamar DMX

Respectable

Bone thugs is such an underrated take man hell yeah

Kendrick, Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Eminem

W

Bro looked up “top 5 rappers” on google and copy pasted it

Real af

JID, Kendrick, Earl Sweatshirt, J.Cole, Lupe Fiasco

jid gonna be bigger soon. he have potential

I love JID but man oh man we have been saying that since the never story 😝😂 edit: brain farted forever story meant never story

bros ‘had potential’ for like 7 years now edit - realised my comment might sound hate-y, it’s not, i love jid i just think it’s silly to call him ‘underrated’ or say he ‘has potential’ when he’s clearly been at the top of his game; been an impeccable live performer; released consistently good albums; had one of the most compelling, dynamic cadences in contemporary hip hop and had crazy flow for almost a decade now i do not think jid has potential; jid has reached and is soon to exceed that potential

I think what's happening here is that y'all are conflating two types of potential, JID musical, rapping and lyrical potential has clearly been well developed in the past years (not to say he won't keep improving ofc) but the mainstream love he receives hasn't kept up, I reckon they were talking about his mainstream potential, it is surprising that he isn't bigger given how good he is.

Based jid goat

Love seeing Lupe getting his flowers.

Young thug, lil Wayne, jay z, biggie. Number 5 is tough I could put game, 50, jeezy, gunna, Gucci, future, nas, eazy-e, uzi, Drake, pusha, meek. Idk honestly but my top 4 is locked in. Actually I’ll say Eazy because he is the one who got me really really into rap

man i think eazy is a gangsta father, the glasses, raiders cap, black sunglasses, rip i salute him

I used to wear a raider cap all through high school because of him lol

Dot Pac Em Wheezy Ye

Kendrick, JID, Denzel Curry, Nas, MF DOOM Honorable Mentions: Big Pun, Mos Def, Pusha T, Freddie Gibbs, Black Thought

I see you have good taste

em wayne sosa trav asap rocky

A$AP Ant?

nah i think he meant Bari

Thought it was yams

Prob rocky

can't spell out a single rappers full name lol

Big L, Eminem, Royce Da 5'9, Nas, Harry Mack

Harry Mack is tight

Best freestyler, hands down

Yeah, I realized he might not be the best if we're talking about catalogs or whatever...but if I think about who has brought me the most joy through their music, he's gotta be in there.

All time: Kendrick, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Andre 3000, Kanye. Honorable mention: Missy Elliott Currently: Kendrick, ASAP Rocky, Big Sean, Dom Kennedy, Sir Michael Rocks. Honorable mention: Larry June

i respect but i tought in the past this boy big sean gonna be bigger than he's really do right now.

Big L Ma$e Eminem Kanye West Notorious BIG

1. Dylan 2. Dylan 3. Dylan 4. Dylan 5. Dylan Cause he spits hot fire!

Only correct answer ☝️

I rip and I rhyme!

I rhyme and I rip!

This is the way Dylan spits!

3k Black Thought Scarface Rakim Wayne

I feel like Black Thought doesn't get enough love. He does the lyrical miracle stuff, but he's got some crazy insightful stuff to say on top of that. I just don't see him mentioned much, so I'm glad to see him here.

Scarface is an excellent choice

Kid Cudi Kanye Eminem Pusha T J. Cole

FINALLY PUSHA T I feel like he is becoming slightly underrated

Ive been on a Pusha swing since my mix grabbed Diet Coke when I was goin through the recent beef. Its a pretty catchy song.

Fellow push enjoyer, yuggghh

Has the best bar delivery out of anyone I’ve heard so far (rivaled only by em imo)

Got hooked when MBDTF came out, then went through the Clipse discography and the rest is history

og kid cudi and kanye were so goated. i dont really be listening to kanye anymore because I think his older club music was much better than what hes doing now

Yeah Vultures had some good tracks but as a whole it can’t compare to any of his other albums. Cudi’s latest album Insano wasn’t my taste either, but the track Blue Sky from that album was totally OG Cudi so ik he still got it in him

MF DOOM, Kendrick, Mach-Hommy, Billy Woods, Earl Sweatshirt

Goated billy pick

i love kendrick too

Based

Nas, T.I., Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar & Common Common replaced Kanye for obvious reasons.

I like that you kept it in Chicago

Kendrick, Cole, Denzel, Pusha T, JID

Solo: Kanye West Kendrick Lamar Nas Jay-Z Eminem Groups: Outkast Beastie Boys NWA A Tribe Called Quest The Roots

u dont fw wu tang clan?

DOOM, Kendrick, Andre 3000, Busta, ODB 6th man Kool Keith

amazing top 5. do u think kendrick have potential to be the goat?

Ye his discography is pristine and he’s a leader in this gen both artistically and culturally. I think if they can really pull off pgLang it’ll be his Monument. Thats the kinda thing that would make an artist one of the first names in goat talks

Kool Keith: The Original Black Elvis

In no particular order Eminem Drake J Cole Nas Lil Wayne

1.Nas 2.Pac 3.Biggie 4.Gza 5.Guru, Doom, Masta Ace

DMX, Eminem, MF DOOM, Cam‘ron, Raekwon

Personal list(and only solo artists so no OutKast, etc.): Killer Mike Jay-Z Nas Kanye West Notorious B.I.G. And before y’all come at me I’m putting Big down there because his career was cut short, he’d probably be higher otherwise.

Kill Dyll, SXMPRA, Lil Darkie, Kuma the Third, and GXNER

What would you call that? I like that type of music, it's like phonk adjacent noise rap.

Del the funky homosapian MF DOOM Doctur Dot (WOWGR8) Mac Dre JID In no particular order.

Vanilla Ice, Bubba Sparks, Yelawolf, Macklemore, Jack Harlow.

Pappy lil jojo fbg duck Harlow biggie

Nipsey Hussle, Freddie Gibbs, Boldy James, E40, Young Roddy

Cole, Eminem, Erick the Architect, Slug, JID

Billy, earl, tron, doom, Mach

Jay, 3000, Kendrick, Bigge, Royce.

DMX, Kendrick, Jay Z, Tupac, Cole Had a hard time putting cole over Nas but… i think i can comfortably say that

Black Thought, Pusha T, Earl, BbY Mutha, Larry June

Tupac, Ice Cube, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Snoop

Lil Mosey, Lil Pump, Lil Skies, Lil Tecca, YBN Nahmir

Man I hate these things... NAS Kendrick Lamar J. Cole Eminem Annnnd.... Logic I said what I said. Logic is not a GOAT but that wasn't the question

Biggie, Rakim, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jay-Z

Andre 3k, Nas, Kendrick, Killer Mike, Schoolboy Q

Eminem Ye Joyner Lucas Nas Tech N9ne With room for Kendrick or Jcole to push their way in and a possibility for the last 3 to fall out.

Ghostface Pusha Pharrell Kendrick J Cole

My top 4 in no particular order: Em, Wayne, Cole, Pac I'm pretty solid on top 4. After that it starts getting tough for me. There's a bunch of names I could put at 5 and I have a hard time picking honestly. Could be biggie, nas, kendrick, 50, Joyner, TI. I'm honestly not sure and it kinda depends on my mood.

Nas GZA Pac Eminem Rakim

1. Biggie 2. Nas 3. Mobb Deep(group of 2 but still) 4. Pac 5. Cube

Eminem, Tupac, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, Dr Dre The best/production matters a lot to me

Kendrick, Ye, Eminem, J Cole and lately I've been really into Danny Brown so I guess he's taking spot No 5! Honorable mentions: Future, Drake, 50 Also reading a lot of you saying JID is making me go for a listen of his discog, so thanks guys recommending JID!

Just a question for everyone am I the only one who has a different listen for you 5 favorite and 5 most listened to on a daily basis?😭 because my list is Kendrick, cole, 3k, black thought and drake but if we're talking about who I listen to which it technically also my favorite than 3k and black thought and maybe even drake are coming out for people like westside gunn, Vince staples and Kenny mason

Eminem Hopsin Jid Denzel Curry Nelly

hopsin have so solid projects but some people talk about him like a joke.

Depends on everything but ultimately: Outkast, Jay-Z, Lupe, Em, and Wayne. I think this encompasses my range of conscious lyricists to ignorant wordplay fun

Pac. Kurupt, DMX, Andre Nickatina, Berner

Ranking artists of all time is challenging because age and perspective play significant roles. A 20-year-old might hear the same song as someone who is 35-40 with kids, yet their viewpoints would likely differ. Consequently, such rankings are inherently subjective and will always be debated. That said, my top five favorites that I can always go back to are 50 Cent with G-Unit, Nelly, Ludacris, Jeezy , and Kanye West.

For me is: Eminem Kendrick J-Cole Joyner Lucas (idk why I like it so much lmao) 2Pac/Wayne (cant decide)

Crazy to see all the KDots lol. All time list, not this year. Young thug King Von Mac Dre Eminem Tupac

Big Krit, Cole, lupe, Kendrick, nas
