Not rappers, but emcees?
1. Biggie
2. KRS-One
3. Common
4. Black Thought
5. Jeru the Damaja
As for rappers, that should include people like The GZA and De La Soul.

if itīs for "master of ceremonies" then none of the rappers you listed should be on there coz they all suck live. and thatīs what a MC should be great at, Lil Jon is actually a better "MC" then those listed.

You're right. Biggie was no great live performer, but I bet you haven't seen KRS.......!
right, iīve only seen him 4 times.

Nah, but seriously. Biggie had that ability to freestyle but he wasn't a great live performer, but I really do consider KRS, Black Thought, Common and Jeru some amazing performers who really move the crowd.
-
^i dunno about that, i saw Common and Kanye and Ye rocked the house atleast 20x harder(iīm not even exagerrating)then Common. people were damn near falling asleep when Common performed. dunno why he even brought a live band with him when they hardly changed the songs to suit a live performance. Commonīs the shit if you sit at home listening to him and thatīs about it.
-
^^ Yeah, I guess it really depends on the setting. Most of these I've seen rocked a small venue and really turned things upside down. I haven't seen Common live though, except for some footage, which seemed really good.
Anyway, I see where ur coming from. Props :)
-
1 2pac
2 too short
3 eazy e
4 kurupt
5 scarface
next up would be devin the dude, daz, snoop, spice one

well it was in an arena that takes about 13k, i think he´s better suited for venues that takes like 1-3k.

I find it hard to compare rappers like
Rakim
KRS-ONE
Big Daddy Kane
with rappers like
2Pac
Biggie
Ice Cube
and to compare them with
Jay-Z
Eminem
Often "musicknowers" seam to underrate "overrated rappers"... but i think we got a simple asnwear on the number one spot...
Tupac
-
no order:
nas
gza
pac
krs-one
rakim

Tupac
I'm really sorry, but 2Pac really doesn't come anywhere near my top 5. So if that makes me a cocky self-proclaimed "musicknower" as you call it, so be it. But don't force your opinion on others... His music just doesn't move me at all, and for your information, the same goes with N.W.A (Ice Cube's early solo-career is an exception). Stuff like that doesn't move me, so they'll never make it to my top5. But hey, guess what! That's an opinion!
-
I don't have a top 5 but KRS One and Big Daddy Kane belong in top numbers. :)

1. Ice Cube
2. Xzibit
3. Scarface

Everybody is right to have their own opionon.... and 2pac has never been a personal favorite of mine... but when it comes to record sales 2pac is number 1... and when it comes to influencse of the rap game, he is one of the most imortant...
-
lol at the people who rate Big Pun,Biggie,Nas,Jay-Z etc high but donīt mention Kool G Rap. his style is prolly the most imitated style in rap history along with Rakim and Tupac(even Pac took his whole thug demeanor from G Rap).
my top 5(in no particular order)
Kool G Rap
Rakim
KRS-ONE
Nas
Scarface or Ice Cube(itīs pretty much impossible to narrow it down to 5)

technically heīs the most influental but itīs no mystery that Pac took a lot of his style from guys like Rakim,Scarface,Kool G Rap etc.

1. Cam'Ron
2. Joe Budden
3. Cassidy

yeah lol, the sig will be updated, cause right now Joey is tough to beat
-
Word, no way I can ever just do a top 5. I can def argue different dudes for different reasons. A lot of it is like comparing apples & oranges & bananas...but anyway here's a weak attempt:
Top 5
Melle Mel
Rakim
KRS-One
Chuck D
Big Daddy Kane
Top 5 most bumped right now:
EST (from 3x Dope)
WC
AZ
Large Professor
Redman

Kool G Rap

are you really laughing out loud at them? thats harsh. people dont have to like him just because their favorite rapper swagger jacked him to a certain extent. his sound might just be too archaic for them, they like how biggie or whoever did it better. is that really a fault?
-
and Piff i didnīt mean it like that, i just think itīs funny that people mention all of them but prolly never heard G Rap who fathered their style. not to mention that heīs better then most of his clones
5 most bumped right now
Z-Ro - all in all heīs got 17 albums(counting the Guerilla Maab albums but not his mixtapes)so itīs almost impossible to run out of dope material to listen to)
Trae - heīs got so much dope material aswell and unlike Ro he can flip any subject manner real dope
Nas - i donīt really need to say anything about him
Scarface - just digged up some old Face albums a couple of months ago and i had almost forgot how dummy dope his catalog is
T.I. - iīm still bumping Trap Muzik all the time, too bad that heīs prolly not gonna make another album like that
-
50
Buck
Banks
Yayo
Olivia

I forgot Rakim & Krs- one there definitly up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is right...and they deserve credit for that no doubt... but i think 2pac took their style and made something creative and unique... in a way i dont think Jay-Z, Eminem and todays rappers are doin..
but that might be just me bein small-minded, and thinkin yesterday used to be better :)

please someone define "emcee" and "rapper" cause if eminem isnt considered an emcee then what the fuck is...personnally i think of an emcee as anyone who uses wordplay, clever rhymes, ect. I would say eminem is an emcee where as tupac is not so much(maybe he is but i never really think of him as one) but definetly a hip-hop artist and guys you see on tv who jump on a beat and say whatever are rappers. Biggie would definetly be an emcee. If you grew up cipherin on the corner or in a hip hop shop theres no doubt your an emcee. Maybe im confused though...

an MC is a master of ceremonies. but these so called hip hop heads have come up with their own believes of what an MC is which has absolutely nothing to do with the actual meaning(cats having dope lyrics,substance,flow doesn´t=an MC). actually the best real MC´s are often the most ignorant ones that knows how to rock a crowd.
-
Juvenile: No he's not the best lyricist in the world but, I love the way he raps. Expecially on 'ya understand' I guess it's more of his style rather in context of his lyrics.
Eminem: The old one. He was sick on the Mic. He's lost that hunger.
Chino XL: Sick flow with one liners that will put you out of your misery.
Zach De LaRoca (rage against the machine) He's on some political shit i don't agree with, but he rhymes his opinions well.
Coffee (grits) His voice and flow is downright sic! No-one sounds like Coffee.
-
Zach De LaRoca is amazing

Zach De LaRoca is amazing

Lol, to put it in the only language you will understand possibly....you mad doggie?
do you think camron is an mc? or fabolous? or cassidy? they arent mc's homeboy, they are rappers, and even rappers would be a wrong lable, theyre more like hustlers, just making music for the dough, a rapper is someone like nas, 2pac or biggie for example.
