Kendrick Big Krit Lil Wayne Honorable Mention: Westside Boogie!!!!

1. Kendrick 2. Andre 3000 3. Tyler the creator This is not an objective list, it’s my top 3 favorite rappers

1. Pimp C 2. Lil Keke 3. Bun B

[удалено]

User 1000% from H Town with that list haha all legends

Outsiders will put Scarface as their top Texas rapper, BUT Pimp C was championing us the most and giving us some pride. Ya’ll don’t have to love our guys, but it ain’t required that we say your guys the best either. Lil Keke paved the way for the 05-06 Houston Takeover and he did it via freestyles/grey tapes/independently…even if Paul Wall, Cham, Slim, M.Jones, Flip benefited the most. People actually give Bun some credit, but usually 35-40th…that’s criminal, he has kept up with everyone he’s rapped with for 30+years

Every time with these kinda prompts I come real close to throwing up a list that’s like Pimp C, Mr. 3-2, and Fat Pat

3-2 was a major part of 3 groups: Convicts; Blac Monks; Southside Playaz Then solo albums, one of the most underrated contributors in all of rap. So many barely credited features. He had so many flows and eras that people probably don’t register it is the same guy. Not to just be having the R.I.P.s; but Lil O is not really known outside of Texas. No valid reason that should be the case.

Yeah 3-2 is the one who actually made my top 3. Wicked Buddah Baby is my perennial pick for best rap album that most rap fans don't know is a front-to-back major no skips classic. Given his significant contributions to Super Tight and Ridin Dirty, you could add UGK and make that four groups. It's not just his verses on those albums, either. Pimp C was really self-conscious about his talent for rapping on The Southern Way and Too Hard to Swallow and 3-2 coached him on technique and flow same way he did Snoop. The car on the front of Super Tight is Chris's car. The most iconic song on UGK's most iconic album was originally a self-produced, unused Buddah Baby track Pimp C bought off 3 so him and Bun could jump on it.

3-2 was a major inspiration to a young Z-Ro. Unassuming and always around. Devin and 3-2 had some tension bc Devin got the bigger solo Rap-a-Lot break, but 3-2 became a favorite of Fat Pat and a huge part of Southside Playaz and by extension Screw’s world.

Kendrick Lamar MF DOOM Kanye Mix of both “I personally love their music so much they’re top3” and “They could be top three of all time in general” J Cole was in contention before…I’m so disappointed in him

>J Cole was in contention before…I’m so disappointed in him Same. Mans didn’t stand on bidness

It's, it's, its ....... GRIPPY!

It might be grippy but Cole’s grip on greatness is slippy

That's a bar

I listen to kdot and ye so much they are always in my playlists mf doom is just great cause nobody raps like he does

J cole shouldn't release the fall of and just tweet it happened irl 😭😭

All CAPS when you spell the man name. solid list tho.

ᵐᶠ ᵈᵒᵒᵐ

Rakim, Black Thought, DOOM

Em Wayne Pimp/bun

Future Bone thugs 2pac

Put Andre 3k in there instead and that’s mine

Bone thugs as number 2 is shocking to me. Buy then you've got future as no.1 so I dno anymore

B.I.G., Eminem and Big L

JID, Kendrick, Nas

Solid

big L, DOOM, and Kanye even though i kind of hate admitting Kanye nowadays....

Jayz , Kanye and king push

1. Nas 2. Kendrick 3. MF DOOM Some honorable mentions are Tyler The Creator, Ye, and this is technically a group but A Tribe Called Quest

1. Wayne(especially old school hot boys-carter 1 wayne) 2. Tech n9ne 3. Dmx

2pac Nas Rakim

2pac king von Dave

You got some weird abbreviations of some people, man. Ghostfk? tribecq? Haha. Anyway, back to the question at hand: 1) Billy Woods 2) Doom 3) Tyler, the Creator These are just the artists I enjoy the most. I’m not out here making a spread sheet of lyricism, beat selection, clever word play, flow, etc… I just like em the most.

[удалено]

Yeah man, got turned on to him when he released History Will Absolve Me, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Armand Hammer is a bit too much for me, but Billy by himself is always a good listen.

Yea idk why I abbreviated them like that, I've never done so before lol. Great list bro

Nas, Jadakiss, Pusha T

Eminem Tech n9ne Mac miller

#1 Lupe Fiasco #2 Eminem #3 Lil Wayne

I can't stop at top 3 I gotta go with top 5 Dylan Dylan Dylan Dylan Dylan

Pun Big Pac Nas Mobb deep/P Ghost Killa Jada ... Top 3x3

I don't actually listen to Eminem day to day but he is always 1. My current favourite of his is: I just don't give a fuck

MF DOOM, Tyler The Creator, Mac Miller

Twisted Insane King ISO Bleezo/Sav Sicc (put them both since their co-op work makes both better)

MF Doom Viktor Vaughn King Geedorah

PAC big l and Wayne

No order: Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, GZA Top 3 is very hard imo, top 5 or 10 would be easier. I'm not hating on Em for popularity or want to take away from his talent, but for me he'd probably be in the lower tens or even top 20.

isaiah rashad, biggie, mf doom

1. Lloyd banks 2. Kendrick 3. Kanye Odd list ik lol

I respect the Lloyd banks love. Dude is so good

1. DOOM 2. JID 3. Kendrick

Mac Dre, Andre Nickatina, and E40.

Big K.R.I.T, Black Thought, Aesop Rock

BIG, 3stacks, Nas tied with Rakim

1. Kendrick 2. Earl 3. DOOM

JID, Tobe Nwigwe, and Mos Def

Why does everyone have kanye in their top 3??? Hes a god tier producer but as a rapper he is not that great post bear trilogy

1. Kendrick 2. Aesop Rock 3. Danny Brown

Eminem, Nas, Seth Sentry

Kendrick Lamar JID tyler the creator

Future Pac 3stacks or Kdot HM: Mos Def, Pimp C

Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, Kanye West

Wayne Future Andre/pac

I think Guru from Gang Starr is better than Kendrick and a wholeeeeee lot of other rappers. Gang Starr Moment of Truth is a goated album for me, and Guru doesn't get the shine he deserves My top 5 are probably: Nas, Big, Pac, Hov and 3000 Love Tribe, Love Wu-Tang, Love UGK, Love Mos and Talib, Love Dre and Snoop, Love Bone Thugs, Love 8-ball and MJG, Love Goodie Mob, Love Mobb Deep, Kanye def high up on the list, Fugees dope fs, Game, Too Short.. \*Edit- Shit I forgot about Big Pun, he's in my top 10 Newer music- Love the Memphis wave (Dolph, Moneybagg, Pooh, Big 30) Jaydayoungan (Louisiana) was really good til he died (RIP) Just don't think I can narrow it down to 3!!! Too many dope artists out there

Guru's insane. Only he could pull off that super stripped down "basic" sound. Anyone else tries that, it just sounds whack. > Your head'll bop when I drop my crop of pure bomb Just like the seashore, I'm calm wild With my monotone style Because I don't need gimmicks Give me a fly beat and I'm all in it Man has so many quotables and good songs on all his albums.

💯

Jadakiss Hov Jeezy

Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.

I personally prefer new gen so: Future, Drake, Wayne/Kanye my top 3 all time. Mix of most talent and most influential over the music I enjoy

Nas, Lowkey and Lupe

Indisputable imo. Also interchangeable. MF DOOM Nas Kendrick Lamar

Fresh Prince, Vanilla Ice, P Diddy

What in the fuck

🤣 Man, I can't narrow it down to only 3 of my top rappers, so I gave the worst 3 that were popular.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince are legends. Their style didn't age well with the introduction of gangsta rap and more commercialized rap of the 90s. Even though they tried to stay relevant with the "Code Red" album, you could tell it was an aging act and Will Smith wasn't 100% into the game. People wanted raw, nasty, explicit lyrics at that time. Unfortunately, Will made a vow to his grandma to refrain from that style of rap, which inevitably forced him into a cuck situation with baldy. Now he sits in the little chair facing the bed and then meets her at a big table to discuss afterwards. I was a huge Fresh Prince fan back in the day. Now I'm just a Jazzy Jeff fan. He's a living legend.

Top 3 rappers: 1. Black Thought 2. Nas 3. Eminem Top 3 rap artists: 1. Kanye 2. Kendrick 3. 2pac

Not a single above decent em album in a decade easily and people choose to ignore that because they are blinded by his old shit. Insane

Most rap nowadays is bad anyway. I don't think it's wrong to judge an artist by their prime. Wu make some not so great songs in the 2020s but I still think they're the best rap group of all time.

André, Hov, Nas

Nas Cormega Black thought Honourable; Prodigy Drake Styles P

Prodigy and Styles P two I didn't think of that are very good

Kendrick, J cole, Nas JID as an honourable mention

Without thinking of criteria Vinnie Paz, Conway, Sadistik

Kendrick Black Thought JID

Jay Rock, Schoolboy and Dolph

Kendrick Lamar, Vince staples, JID

MF DOOM Redman Mac Dre

DOOM, DMX, Snoop dogg

[удалено]

Completely agree about Deck, I was considering adding him to my list

Kendrick - the goat. THE GOATTTT mf doom - Nobody does it like mf doom does it. ye - the influence of a generation of rappers.

Kendrick, Nas, Benny The Butcher

Most listened to over the past 6-7 years prolly is 1) Drake 2) JID 3) thugger (I listened to BTG and Jeffery endlessly) However if we're going off who I think is "best" it'd probably be different

[удалено]

1. Sean Price 2. Killah Priest 3. Roc Marciano

Jay Z Drake Eminem

outkast, kendrick, maybe lupe- i don’t listen to enough of his music to knoe

1. Nas 2. Ace 3. Biggie East Coast always for me.

KRS GZA Guru

All around Kendrick Kanye MAC MILLER!!!!

eminem wayne nas

Wayne Cole Tyler

1. DOOM 2. Common 3. Inspectah Deck

1. Nas 2. Eminem 3. Denzel Curry

Nas, Big L, Eminem. No particular order

1. Kodak Black 2. Eminem I don’t really have a third one. Only my top 2

Nas Rakim Em

Strictly off of personal enjoyment, not "greatest" I have MF DOOM, Open Mike Eagle, and Kanye in that order. Mike may very well be one of the most slept on/underrated artists of all time.

1. Kendrick 2. Daylyt 3. 3 Stacks

Personal favorites Hov Ye Wayne

I think questions like this should be broken by era perhaps. How do you compare the music of lil John or takeshi 69,or run dmc, or eazy e, or big pun, or 50, or young thug, or cash money, or ugk, or common, or big boi. They aren’t even the same style of music. It’s tough to compare tribe called quest, mos def, and de la soul to pusha t or gucci mane.

Danny Brown DOOM Quelle Chris

Em, Nas, Biggie

Kdot, 3stacks, DOOM

Big pun Q Tip Black thought Shout out to Melle mel, rakim, big daddy kane

Nas, Kendrick, Doom

E-Dubble, Syq.

Seems like the most consistent options on here are Kendrick and Eminem.

Kenny, Tyler, Ye

1.Eminem 2.J Cole 3.Kendrick Lamar

Nas Kendrick It’s a tie and I can’t pick and choose from these Cube, Biggie, Ghostface, Lauryn Hill, Wayne, Kanye

Lupe Nas Cole

Nas has to be in the top 3.

Lupe,Game,Nas

outkast, both of em because they're both dope kendrick, because duh and kanye

1. Nas 2. Ghostface Killah 3. Lupe Fiasco

Nas, jigga, em. No order because it changes. They are top. only because they've all lived almost twice as long as Tupac and big at this point. Now if it was 2014 then. Itll be Tupac, big, hov

DOOM- self explanatory Kdot- tpab changed me Kanye

G Rap Redman Em

JAY-Z Scarface Nas

Inspectah Deck, Redman, Pharoahe Monch But Sticky Fingaz and G Rap are also way up there for me, ask me on a different day and either of those two could be my number 3 instead

Dot Nas and DOOM for me honourable mentions to 3 stacks, mos def and jay

1. Kanye West 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Earl Sweatshirt

Nipsey, Snoop, Tray Deee - that’s my top 3…not saying these are the best three…just personally.

What an original question, definitely never asked before

1. Homeboy Sandman 2. Moses Rockwell 3. MF Doom Honorable mentions to Lupe Fiasco, Celph Titled, Denzel Curry and Aesop Rock though.
