Scarface is the greatest rapper of all time.

[OG Hack Wilson]

it's about who was better at their best, NOT WHO PUT OUT MORE CD'S AFTER THEIR PRIME ENDED


Big Punisher is a top 5 emcee ever....how some people don't know this is beyond me.

Lol at Kurupt is mentioned in the same breath as Face.

They can't be compared. Kurupt is a MC,Face is a "storyteller rapper". So I can see where Hack is going. But Face can spit MC shit too,but he hardly does. (Check his verse on Devin's The Dude album).
So clearly Hack prefer MC's over storytellers,nothing to get mad about.

+1  i LOVE scarface's music for sure....it's just that when you throw him on a song with lyricists 2pac (Smile) or Crooked I (Gangsta Rap from Too Gangsta 4 Radio) he sounds average at times.... it's like when you take him away from his element (borderline horrorcore songs with Geto Boys over grimey or funky beats) he can't keep up with certain elite rappers


Scarface has spit some great shit over the years and I'm fully aware...but his ceiling isn't the highest compared to atleast 10 guys i listed

you got my point,but in the end there's no point in comparing MC's to storytellers. What I believe Luna is saying,is that Face as a strong catalog of ALBUMS,maybe even the best. Few of the cats on your list can match the quality Face has put down on SO MANY albums...

thats a steep claim. i did like the fix though.

maybe you could say, "Scarface is the greatest artist of all time"; with the disco. & all.

but lyric for lyric, he is not the best in many peoples books.

"most accomplished artist"?

when i think of "greatest rapper" it doesn't necessarily mean their success, but how well they could kill it on the mic.

I co-sign that.

That is the craziest thing about music. Some of the most celebrated artists of all time are not the best or even the most prolific. I will say this, Face has a very consistent catalog, really no weak album in the bunch. Few MCs can say or do that.

exactly..the best catalog therefore making him the best rapper imo..

Kurupt was really good rapper in the 90's. I can say that without even be a fan of him nor the Dogg Pound, but these last years he's been throwing too many "big" words out making them rhyme, thinking it's smart as hell.

i disagree, Kurupt used way more advanced words early in his career and what he said actually made sense back then.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

yeah, dont think you can really say opinions are facts


never eally got into Scarface to be honest so couldnt make a fair judgment on his albums


Cubes the greatest imo, 4 classic solos, 2 classic group albums and wrote some of the greatest and most influencial hip hop records of all time

[Chad Vader]

thats a steep claim

yeah,dont think you can really say opinions are facts

eeehh,that's right... but this ain't fact either;

Cubes the greatest imo,4 classic solos,2 classic group albums

thats why i put imo


And he does say fact in the original post

[Dre-Day]

ok,my bad if he did (and you).
But as I see and co-sign his point though (see a couple of posts above),but shit will always be subjective... so there's not really any point with all these greatest/best threads.
