Dream's comment in the ICP/Eminem thread got me thinking. Who do you think is the greatest rapper? Dead or alive.
I'm gonna go with Biggie with Eminem in second. Reason I go with Biggie is he is just so raw. Anyone who who has heard his whole first album plus the "O.G." edition has to agree no one in this world had the lyrical flow he had. The craphe said and the metophores made me love him after hearng just two songs and now he is one of my favorite artist. His first album was the best album in rap IMO he was just so hungry for it. Most of the time once someone makes it and is now big(no pun) they usually start to lack but he came back on his second album just as good.
On a side note you should listin to his songs Victory, Who Shot Ya, Notorious Thugs, Respect, Unbelievable and of course Ready To Die.

Greatest Rapper today - Eminem. Greatest Rapper ever - Biggie Smalls. Tupac very very close.

MY opinion like i said MY opinion Lil Wayne. I mean he can basically rap a number of ways, don't write, has mixtapes,cds, has invited some of the most most words in rap today, and now has Young Money who is starting to blow up. All around i think he is a pure genious.

Eminem is my choice but Kanye, Lil Wayne, and T.I are some of my favorites. Plus Drake is one of my newest favs.

There really is no correct answer to who is best... but..
Favorite: Biggie
Best in my opinion: toss up between Jay-Z or Eminem
I would include Biggie but his career was rather short... Big Pun as well.

All around i think he is a pure genious. Sage Francis does all of these things plus runs his own label, has a degree in journalism that he got just because he had writer's block, and performs at poetry events. He helped get B.Dolan famous who was big on Def Poetry, combines clowning and absurdist theatre in his performances, and wrote an article that helped get Dov Charney(owner of American Apparel) dug even deeper in his sexual harassment lawsuit. Seriously like Lil Wayne is cool and all, but he isn't the only guy who can do tons of stuff. I find Sage Francis one of the most creative rappers in years and no one pays attention to him over say Atmosphere or anyone in Rhymesayers. But that also means you listen to things that aren't by guys who go to jail despite being well off enough to avoid that.

There is no "BEST RAPPER" because it all comes down to people's opinions.

There is no "BEST RAPPER" because it all comes down to people's opinions. Exactly. As far as favorites go I'm a huge fan of Eminem, The Game, NWA (more so Eazy and Ice Cube), Raekwon, and Chamillionaire.

Biggie had some amazing lyrics but I'm going with Tupac because of his lyrics and the deep meanings behind his songs.

There cant be a "Best rapper" because everyone has a different view point on it. Personally though, Eminem is my favourite as he caters for many different markets in terms of his more serious stuff and his spoof stuff and he has a range of styles which I love. Obviously not everyone will agree, but each to their own.
