Who had/has the greatest voice in hip-hop ever?

[Twentytwofifty]

I just put the emcees with distinctive voices maybe some of you like a different type like Cee-Lo, Q-Tip or Slick Rick.  Vote away.

[CharlieBrown]

DV Alias Khrist - His voice is on a whole other level to any rapper i've ever heard, and he's a hella dope lyricist too.

Snoop got(or had) the best voice hands down.  No one can touch the flow or sound anything like Snoop when he puts it down.  Coming close is Biggie, Method Man and Slick Rick

[=[Euthanasia]=]

I'd say the most distinctive voice in hip-hop is 2Pac for me, I also think he had one of the most powerful voices in hip-hop, I mean he makes you, or atleast he makes me want to listen to the words through his voice/flow. I feel his voice carried the beat not the other way around which is rare I think.
I'd also say this for Ice Cube, I feel he has a powerful voice.

Honourable Mentions;

Snoop
Xzibit (especially in his earlier days)
Kurupt (in his earlier days his voice/flow was unfadable)
Nas
Meth

[The Big Bad Ass]

Meth got my voice. I dont' know why, but I've always dug his sound

[ROCCY]

Rakim
Xzibit

those are my picks..

[Jome]

1. Method Man
2. Xzibit
3. Billy Danze
4. MC Ren
5. Guru


I guess it sounds more credible/doper when a rapper has a deep voice, and preferrably not too dark, because that just sounds funny, like CPO or Mystikal..
One of the skits on "Malpractice" is a good example, ppl with light voices isn't supposed to rap, it sounds like a parody & comedy.

And the voice isn't what makes Snoop, it's his flow..

[Smooth]

For me no doubt about it... Big Snoopy Dogg... shit his voice/flow is just to "smooth" ... especially in his earlier dayz...

Best voice ever was Biggie.  Even over Snoop.  Definately over Pac.  I'd say it's somethin like

1. Biggie
2. Snoop
3. King T
4. Method Man
5. RBX

Somethin' like that.  Biggie's to me was just amazing, he sounded so damn dope.  He used it great with his flow, too, like he knew how to pause to make the flow work "I done smoked wit -tha-best-of-em.... shot at tha-rest-of-um, ... was about a hundred-or-more.................... maybe less-of-um"

[M Dogg™]

This one is too Eazy... Eazy as Eazy E (crickets are heard after that bad joke.) Anyways, it seems that Eazy E could sell with his child like voice.

Others:
Biggie
Snoop Dogg
Ghostface
Slick Rick
Method Man
Shyne
