I don't understand how dmx aint in peoples top 5! The energy, the passion. A real steet life dude..One of the top selling rap artists of all time.. still has records that haven't been broken.
Mos Def is the GOAT imo, I'm always surprised people don't mention him in these top 5 convos. I get it that he pretty much disappeared, but it was his own choice to leave the fame behind. dude in his prime was insane.
@@mickeyesoum3278 I agree that he is one of the greats. You can only pick 5 and influence, longevity, sales, Top hits and so on will have to be taken into account. Its hard and there are many that I didn't mention.
It's generational and it's 3 separate lists for me: top 5 rappers, top 5 mc/lyricists, top 5 hip hop artists but Pac top all three lists for me (top selling is yet another list)
Jeffery Thompson Jr It’s because T.I is from the south. They listened to more mainstream New York in the 90s. Nas was more underground even back then to be honest
JOHNSON DAILY SPORTS Em & Nas on the same level along with Jay. Wayne is right behind them, but he more than enough potential to outlast Nas & tank above him
He right, it's generational....Cube possibly, but none of the others make my list, I'm old enough to remember both Biggie and Pac not even being the best rappers in their crews.....commercial success doesn't translate into greatness with my generation because alot of our artist didn't get airplay at all, and they didn't seek any.
@@ugoboss6898 no doubt he can rap I got him top 10 its just imho his content is suspect for the top 5 spot, to me its about lyricism and content..the man can put more lyrics in a song that go together than just about anyone.. For example scarface is the 🐐 imho he cant outrap Eminem (but can rap his ass off) but his content cant be matched
@@ugoboss6898 100% I agree with you much respect my brother eminem is a skillful monster thats why he top 10 that ever touched a Mic but for me personally I grade on everyday day life content and skill put toegether thats what makes a all around artist's music music to FEEL it! That's why if had to pick a 🐐 id have scarface...who is your top 10? I would like to know and I like discussing this with you, learning is everything!
That's really subjective and it can go either way but back during the NWA days and Ice Cube solo album days right after NWA you can argue he is easily on Nas level if not better, Ice Cube was gassin back then and he had alot of gems.
@@BayScrilla510 Cube ain't fucking with Nas... The Nigga Tip Got Drake and Kanye over Nas.. Come on Tip, that's industry bullshit homie. And a travesty known to man. Again I ask (!), why is Drake over Wayne on everybody list all of the sudden, some bullshit!!! Drake just outside my top 13, he gotta get penalized for not writing his own shit! And Nipsey top 50. Niggas can't name 5 Nipsey tracks no cap. I respect his contributions as activist, but as a rapper he's not better than Currency... Fake love... And Nelly stop it; that's Tips boy! If Nelly on there then Ja Rule should be on there! And I'm born and raised in STL! Nelly ain't no damn top 35 rapper of all time. He sold mad albums, but them bubble gum niggas did the city as injustice. We can't shake that bubblegum era. We have so many talented rappers that can't get national cause of that stigma.
Top 10 all time 1: PAC 2: BIGGIE 3: JAY-Z 4: EMINEM 5: NAS 6: ICE CUBE 7: LIL WAYNE 8: RAKIM 9: SNOOP 10: DRAKE. This is based on popularity, sales,influence,body of work.
Strong Ink people don’t credit Kanye bc his lack of mic skills. There’s more to Hip Hop than how well you can rap. Kanye has arguably the best music catalogue with at least 5 classic albums. His cultural impact, longevity and his influence can’t be ignored. He belongs in the Top 5 or 10. Again, if the criteria is only lyricism then he would even crack Top 50.
Strong Ink again...bc Eminem is a better lyricist. But compare both of their music catalogues and who’s more influential. Even the quality of their older music ages differently. Eminem’s older music ages like milk lol. His most popular songs are usually brooding and gimmicky full of shock value. Kanye’s older music is more timeless.
Any well established rapper who doesn't think Nasir Jones is not number 1 or 2 as the best rapper who ever did it up to this point, is a total joke. Point blank period, just hating.
@@j-Gappy-h That's true and i agree but when you break it down against other greats like say Nas who carried his own with numerous solo albums you can understand people who put that into consideration

Addy A Cultural Impact, Influence, Body of Work, Longevity, Multiple Classics. I mean what else is Jay Z really missing? He literally has everything you need to have the GOAT status. Being a billionaire and being married to Beyoncé is just icing on the cake to what he’s already accomplished.
As far as his lyricism.....
“I father I Brooklyn Dodger them
I jack I rob I sin
I’m Jackie Robinson
‘Cept when I run base I dodge the pen.”
Those lyrics from Jay Z have at least 5 different meanings. Here’s another one for you.
“I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars. They criticized me for it yet they all yell holla.
If skills sold truth be told I’d probably be lyrically Talib Kwali. Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense but I did 5 milli and I ain’t been rhyming like Common since.”
