🎤 Who is the Best Rapper? 📓

• CoachStox Jul 31, 2013

  For this argument to have any substance you need to narrow down the criteria. As in any genre of music there are different goals set by the artist and styles attributed to many factors. In rap you have poets who focus primarily on lyrical content and on the other end of the spectrum you have popular, catchy, and repetitive artist that look for radio hits and club bangers. You also have all of the in-between. So my list goes as this;
  
  Lyricist/poets – Mos def, talib kweli, Black Thought, Common or some young kid on the underground circuit that none of us have heard of yet!
  
  Pop – Diddy, Drake, Lil John, Ludacris, Black eyed peas/will I am – sorry not my thing I’m sure I’m missing some
  
  The in-between, the ones I figure are the best based on sales as well as lyrical content. The Best!
  Jay Z, Biggie, Tupac, Eminem (not a fan but much respect for his lyrics and success)

  And this doesn’t even start to scratch the surface of the old school artists that paved the way for this convo to even exist!
  
  Rakim, Big Daddy Cane, Public Enemy, NWA, and the founders Afrika Bambaataa, Lovebug Starski, and DJ Kool Herc

  True. I think Kool G Rap is one of the most influential rappers to ever exist. He played a huge part in shaping modern hip hop. From flow to lyrical content, he left an undeniable mark on this planet.
  And dude still spits fire to this day... I just heard him on a new Nutso track and caught the chills off that joint. Literally "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper". Lyricism at it's finest.
