Hope
everyone is doing well this week; for a change, I would like to touch base on
the toughest question for any hip-hop fan to answer with 100% certainty- who are
the best rappers of all time? The reason why it’s the difficult question it is;
is because, there are too many variables to account for to determine who the
best really is. For instance, when I compare Tupac to Biggie, I always say
Tupac is the better artist because of the type of power he had in culture and
his musical content which is more immense than biggies.
Although it is
basically impossible to create a top 20 list of the best rappers and not feel
like you’ve messed everything up; however if you follow a criteria, the list
starts to make a little more sense. The criteria I will use for this
particular list will be: Content, Success and
Cultural Impact.
This is my list of the Top 20 Rappers, dead or
alive.
- Tupac
- Nas
- Eminem
- Jay- Z
- Biggie
- Jadakiss
- Guru (Gangstarr)
- AZ
- Big Pun
- Big Daddy Kane
- E-40
- Common
- Cam’ron
- Bun-B
- LL Cool J
- Dr. Dre
- Snoop Dogg
- Lauryn Hill
- Lil Wayne
- Left Eye
As I stated
before, this list only represents the top rappers that fit into the
qualification criteria. This is by no means the order or selections in which I
would pick for the best-ever list. Until next week, keep safe and keep your
ears perked for fresh sounds and eyes open for crazy news.
Dueces…
