Top 10 Rappers Of All Time

[tadpole25]

My list isn't solely by hype, sales, popularity, but by talent first (and impact second).

1. Andre 3000
2. Rakim
3. Nas
4. Jay Z
5. GZA/Genius
6. Tupac Shakur
7. Big L
8. Eminem
9. Notorious B.I.G.
10. Ice Cube

Most of these rappers are still making music, so in 5 years, my list could dramatically change.

Your list?

[Kill You]

Eminem
Kanye West
50 Cent
The Game
Tupac
The Notorious B.I.G.
Big L
Andre 3000
Jay-Z
Nas

Not necessarily my favorites list or anything, but these are IMO the top 10 rappers of all time. Based off of discography, impact, and skill. Not in order either except first 2.

[PAINKILLƎR]

Nas
Rakim
Jay-Z
Eminem
GZA
Tupac
Notorious B.I.G.
Andre 3000
KRS-One
Ice Cube

It's hard to make a list, I feel like some people got snubbed for not being on my list

...putting Kendrick or Hopsin on your list is ridiculous, Im sure there are rappers who are way more deserving, and with a bigger body of work, I'm not mad but if you honestly believe Hopsin is top ten of all time then you have some issues

Nas
Rakim
Jay-Z
Eminem
GZA
Tupac
Notorious B.I.G.
Andre 3000

With time, Kendrick could honestly be one of the G.O.A.T.s...

Yes, I know this. But as of right now someone else other than him deserves to be on that list...
Method Man, Canibus, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Fif, and there are many more. Lets remember this is "Top 10 Rappers Of All Time" and your quick to crown them right now? I understand they have potential to be a G.O.A.T. but they are not, yet.

[Robbie G]

Since when did it become socially acceptable to have 50 on your top ten of all time list?

I'm not quick to crown him, that's why I excluded him. I like Kendrick better than MANY of the rappers I listed. It's just he needs to be out a little longer in order for him to earn his spot. At least drop a major debut, come on now.

[Kill You]

^ All of those songs are just fucking amazing.

[PAINKILLƎR]

It's obvious that you guys are Kendrick or Hopsin groupies because neither of them have done anything to solidify their spot in the top 10.
I respect Kendrick and Hopsin, I have them on my ipod I'm a fan as well, but I know that they don't belong on this list, yet

Lol @ your examples tbh.

But ignoring that, if Kendrick Lamar died today he'll be remembered, he released like 3 mixtapes and 1 EP that already shit on most rappers careers' and his debut album is coming next month and it's shaping up to be at least top 3 of this year. But the reason why I put him in my top 10 is mainly because I prefer him over everybody else who's not in my top 10. His body of work is already GOAT worthy:

hahaha this would actually mean something if you even had a list that's decent, the fact that you have Ye and Big Boi on your list is baffling

...and you didn't post HiiPower... FAIL lol

[Kill You]

Lol, I am NOT a groupie. Being a fan = being a groupie now? Okay then. Guess I lost this argument, I should take my L and leave.

[PAINKILLƎR]

Putting him on your top ten = groupie
So yes, take your L. and leave
lol

But I didn't, if you'd read my list. He's in my top 10 of rappers RIGHT NOW, yes. Top 10 of all time? I already said he needs to be around longer to earn that spot lol.

Don't worry, we're not. This is a good list.

[Accor]

not putting 50 on your list is ignorant tbh. You can't deny him, he had music in his backpocket in 2003-2005 and even in 2007 he and kanye made sure hiphop had sales. Fif is one of the GOATS wether people like it or not lmao..

Idiotic post. 50 Cent is not a good rapper and never was. He had great beats and could write a hook but that's basically it. He put out one good-great (yet criminally overrated) album, and a couple of garbage-decent albums. Not putting 50 Cent in your top 10 rappers of all time is anything but "ignorant".

Oh and I like 50 Cent. He's hilarious and a boss irl. But his music has sucked for years.

All Time:
Nas
Jay-Z
Joe Budden
Kanye West
Mos Def
Black Thought
Slug
Lupe Fiasco
Pharoahe Monch

No order, had to think a while about including Lupe because of how much his music sucks atm but his first 2 albums and various mixtapes have earned him a place for now.
