rap/rnb thread is thataway.

But here's my top 3, with brief explanation

1 - Rakim - Brought lyricism to another level back in 87, and continually shreds tracks. Everything I've heard him on in the last 5 years has been absolutely flames.

2 - Nas - Made Illmatic. It's absolutely perfect in all ways and is my favourite album of all time. He's the most poetic rapper and has the best imagery. His combination of that with his great storytelling ability is amazing.

3 - KRS - 4 classic albums easily, he shut down an entire area of New York with one song, has been releasing albums for pretty much 20 years without comprising himself once, he ain't as good as he once was, but his last album was still pretty good.

The rest of the top 10, in order, without explanation: Ice Cube, Scarface, Chuck D, Andre3000, Ghostface, Jay-Z, GZA.

Although I don't listen to much hip hop/rap anymore, I did when I was younger. My vote goes to Tupac from the names listed but the greatest rapper of all-time, who wasn't even included on the list, has to be Nas, hands down the greatest rapper of all-time.

You've probably never heard of Aaron Carter because is a pop star that had to milk success off of his backstreetboy brother.

i think he still may be alive although im crazy for saying this but one time on TRL there was this request and Carson played it and it was this low voice that said "You think id die?" and it was from Rukhas, Africa and Rukhas spelled backwards is Shakur which is his last name :shock:

Every single "theory" out there said he was coming back in 03. Seven years after his death of course. It never happened and anyone with a semblance of intelligence just shut up about the whole thing.

i still remember that day september 13th, 03 when he 'supposed' to be coming back...i think he just doesn't want people to forget what he brought to the game or something...

Tupac because hes the only guy that makes a ton of money off his music after he's dead besides Elvis, the Beatles, and Nirvana, and when you're in a category with those guys you're the best.

I'd like to give bhzmafia a shout out. I think he has some serious skills as he has shown on the NLSC Freestyle battles. He should get some props.
