as you all know they have their 'in music beefs'....

so who's your favourite?

personally i gotta say... Lil' Wayne is on everything atm!!!

/Discuss!

[VTEC-Saxo]

Lil wayne is up ther on my playlist, liking alot of the older stuff at the min really into three 6 mafia lol :)

[goodall3518]

the UK scene winning so far....

(Awaits mass flames)

[goodall3518]

Lil wayne is up ther on my playlist, liking alot of the older stuff at the min really into three 6 mafia lol :)

:homme: .

[JamesR]

:!: :!: :!: Dont really like my rap. :!: :!: :!:

[THEWEBB]

None of the above

[TU-Tuning]

Lil Wayne has good beats but chats a lot of fraff to be fair.

Nas has unbelievable talent, but he takes the racism thing way too far imo to the point he continuously bashes white people.

Jay-Z is one of the best aswell for me.

Damian Marley is legendary too imo

2Pac obviously

The early Eminem is always great to listen too.

Big fan of the Mitchell Brothers, Sway, Kano and The Streets from our side of the pond

[TU-Tuning]

How can you can put fiddy up there and miss Jay and Nas lol

[goodall3518]

they were all i could think of... NAS aint that big, never has been.. JAY Z admittidly.. but forgot :S

[girlracer317]

tupac, sorry but the man was a legend, imo bashy should have been on there :)

[CC06NBA]

lil wayne is not a rapper/mc hes nothing special. Listen to Nas and the lyrics in his songs. out of that list i would say 2pac, biggie or eminem when hes actulay rapping like his songs "sing for the moment" and "loose yourself" not those kiddy ones like "without me" and those kind of ones.

[TU-Tuning]

they were all i could think of... NAS aint that big, never has been.. JAY Z admittidly.. but forgot :S

lol, sorry dude but if your really into this music youd never say that.

[goodall3518]

im a fan of bashy too, jay z etc.. nas sometimes.

everyones got their favourites, i just chose the first 6 that came to mind.


well see if some non polled rappers win.


spit dem barz manz!

[goodall3518]

lol, sorry dude but if your really into this music youd never say that.

yeah of course, cos to be into this music you have to like NAS....


/fail.

[TU-Tuning]

yeah of course, cos to be into this music you have to like NAS....


/faiul

I didnt say you have to like him, but to say Nas isnt big and never has been is fucking retarded.

[ryhornvtr]

If you wanted best MCers then you can include

jay z
nas
biggie
tupac
dr dre
snoop
common
krs1

theres not many on the scene now that are all that imo.

[CC06NBA]

if you dont like nas then you are listening to the wrong music

[MrHouston]

None of them so i chose fiddy for the lols

[saxovtrstevie]

none of the above?

but bashy,skepta,roll deep,wiley better

[Andybhoy]

Reverend Run he is one cool guy. and a quality MC

[aran2k2]

dead prez just because of the hip-hop tune. that chipmunk is complete shit to me anyway

[E1999G]

Kanye West or Jay-z are my favourites, but out of that i would say lil wayne

[TU-Tuning]

Old Kanye stuffs mint, but his autotune stuffs wank. This is legendary too lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmELcF69zWQ

[Mochachino]

Sway .

[Mieran]

2Pac is the ultimate rapper, no one can reach his level.

[Krys_23]

It's all about Pac.. Although i listen to alot of the game, Dope boys in the buildin (8)

[goodall3518]

sooo many rappers too choose from, i couldnt put them all down...
i wanted to see if people preferred the USA to the UK though...

[Marky_C]

Any rap after 2002 is not worth listning to

[SamW]

Either of the Mobb Deep, purely based on shook ones part 2, that song alone the lyrics are really good.

Also Immortal Technique is really good i dont really rate BIG dont like his flow or just his lyrics in general

[badasssaxo]

wheres all the old shcool guys like:

ice cube,
ice t,
derek b,
grandmaster flash,
chuck d,
flavor flav,
nwa,

[Penn]

Nas
Dre
Eminem

[GirlRacerSian]

I like all of them,but i would have to choose 50 Cent. :fcuk:

[Anushka101]

rar

- Ludacris
- T.I
- Andre2000
- UGK a.k.a Under ground Kingz
- Rick Ross
- Fabolous
- Gorilla Zoe
- Plies
- Young Jeezy

These are rappers. My fav is t.i and ludacris, both Paper trail from t.i and Theatre of the Mind by ludacris are two great recent albums.

[bridgesvtr90]

lil wayne anyday.

[Ryyy]

Rap Is Crap and Hip Hop is Plop

But Tupac pisses all over the rest tb*h

[Ryyy]

Wutang?

[craig180]

Grandmaster Flash tbh

[LT_TA]

it has to be lil wayne.. i dont listen to eminem but he is really good

[Tony]

B.I.G.

How he only has one vote shows the age and knowledge of those who have voted so far. Ready to Die is an unreal album.

Nas and JayZ should be added to the list. Nas would be my second choice.

[Tony]

Change the second Dizzie to Nas or Jay.

[columadboi]

lil wayne for me out of them :)

[stevie_m]

If you wanted best MCers then you can include

jay z
nas
biggie
tupac
dr dre
snoop
common
krs1

theres not many on the scene now that are all that imo.


c'mon how can you forget one of the best lyracist Big Pun. Only thing that stopped him was his bloody heavy weight frame and have to suck in air like a jumbo jet when he started spittin.

Jadakiss
Rakim Allah ... of Eric B & Rakim
AZ ... He was more of a Influence on Nas than Nas Was on him
Ghostface Killa
Kool G Rap
Prodigy of Mobb Deep ... but only from 95 to 99
GZA
Big Daddy Kane
Scarface ... Minds playin tricks on me
Royce da 5'9"


I honestly could go on and one

[McGuire86]

Gotta be Biggie he was the best ever imo.

Also Immortal Technique his lyrics are awesome prob the best lyracist out there i reckon.

And what about DMX? Prob my fave, cant beat abit of DMX whilst at the gym ;)

[PSPDan]

MC Chris tbh... Anyone seen Zack and Miri ?

[Ashleyp]

a man who knows his 90s hiphop ;).. Big pun, last emporer, ghostface (older stuff) i think youve named most of the big ones tbh,

as for the UK grime scene, kano, from pre-2007 (although his latest commercial stuff is still good)

grime died in 2006.. so anything before than was decent, 2005 is when the downfall began

[alextoffie]

This could turn out to be quite a lengthy list, but i love rap/hip hop so listen to loads of artists, here goes -

DMX
Eminem
Jay-Z
Tupac
Common
Rakim
Jedi Mind Tricks
Jadakiss

In the UK i like Dizzee Rascal and Kano...

Nas, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg (Doggystyle - classic), Biggie etc... all deserve a mention

[Mieran]

For those who care about real lyrics and not just catchy beats you deffo need to check out Immortal technique

[Tony]

Gotta be Biggie he was the best ever imo.

Amen..

[Davekelz]

Jay Z, Kanye, Common.

All awesome....

[luke0549]

Sway is brilliant :)

his songs are a laugh to listen to and its different from all the drugs, guns and sex.

[Ste-88]

Biggie fo' sho.

[seat-craig]

akon, big bud, biggie, bob marley, busta rhymes, , chingy, clipse, , coolio, cypress hill, d12, eminem, tupac, damien marley, de la soul, dizzy rascal, dre, snoop, 50 cent, fugees, g unit, ghostface killa, ice cube, jay z, kano(very talented), kanye west, redman, method man, ludacris, luniz, mop, mario, , mitchell brothers, mobb deep, mr scruff, nerd, nas, roots manuva, outkast, roll deep, soul 2 soul, timbaland,

[Calyx]

Akala, The Game smashes 50 all day, Jay Z, Trae, Paul Wall, T.I's Mixtapes are legendary, Jeezy speaks his mind a lot of the time and not just shite.

There just a few tbh. Weezy is soooo far mainstream he's shitting his own songs! Kanye is admittedly good but he's too pompous for me to like.

[stevie_m]

a man who knows his 90s hiphop ;)


Without a doubt that was my music when i was growing up. It all started with Public Enemy, thank god for the olden days of MTV with YO ! MTV Raps.

I'll be honest and say i can't choose in the poll because... I can't choose between Tupac or B.I.G

50 Cent ... Got rich and stopped tryin
Lil Wayne ... Isn't the best rapper he's just flavour of the month, so was Cash Money Records in the late 98
Eminem ... Isn't a serious lyracist but is a damn good battling MC
Dizzee Rascal ... First album showed a glimer of talent then went mainstream

Wouldnt say that, a lot of his old stuffs pretty legendary imo. Then he started making stupid mockery tunes :wall:


The rest is so true though, 50s pathetic now

[stevie_m]

compare Big Pun who was a lyracist against Eminem ... who is better ?

[twoingoo1inpoo]

lil wayne is big in the game atg the moment,

liking roll deeps new album,

Trouble dont mean a thing. when youre moveing in circles............ that roll deep.

[Grant]

Imo lil wayne is diabolical.

Cash money was alright before Birdman screwed everyone over, I didnt really listen to the lyrics though, just because everything was usually produced by Mannie Fresh.

Rappers- No order.. Trae, T.I, Talib Kweli, BoHagon, KRS-One, Ice Cube & Nas.

Producers - Lil Jon, Mannie Fresh, Maestro, Swizz Beatz, Ryan Leslie, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Danja, The Runners.

If i see a track produced by any of them, ill check it out no matter who the artists is.

Hype Artists - Lil Jon, Swizz Beatz

[stevie_m]

don't you prefer Talib Kweli earlier stuff with DJ Hi-Tek ?

I can say i'm glad they have started doing the Reflection Eternal reunion album

[Grant]

No doubt mate. My favourite is probably Good Morning.

Just makes me zone out.

[stevie_m]

how people can't see that lil wayne is just a flavour of the month is beyond me. I honestly could give a list of flavour of the month MC's and Crew's. I can remember weezy as a lil kid with almost a bald head ! now look at those dreds

[Grant]

haha i cant remember that far. theres my point with swizz beatz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL8v17JhVJc&feature=related

sounds awsome, just really hope someone better than cassidy gets it.

[Mieran]

Lil wayne seriously pisses me off, his voice give me a headache and his rhymes are shit

hes gay too, no wonder why hes says "Weezy fucking baby" so much (baby = birdman)

[stevie_m]

I can remember when Swizz Beats dropped the DMX Ruff Ryders Anthem.... at the age of 17 !
