I'd prolly have Nas at the top of my list these days. 20+ years in the game, still making excellent records and keeping true to himself.

I could insert Scarface in there same thing. I could put Black Thought in there same thing. I could put Kool G Rap in there same thing. All been in 20 years all still makin dope shit, all stayin true to themself. I dont even know how you would describe Nas as stayin true to himself. Dude abandoned every person he came in the game with just like Jay. Dont really sound like stayin true to yourself to me.
Black Thought doesn't even have a solo album. At least Crooked I does

Nas is the most consistent guy in rap, and that level is so high. If I was to compare him, it's like Wayne Gretzky in hockey. Yeah, he had an amazing early part of his career, Gretzky was winning Stanley Cups, Nas had Illmatic and It was Written... But after so many years, you look and realize, god damn, no one is touching what homeboy just did. Are their better rappers than Nas, maybe, I don't think so, but maybe. But Nas has that Greatness factor. He just seems to deliver over and over and over again, save his 4th album. Did Black Thought or Kool G have an album that bad? No. But have Black Thought or Kool G have an album better than Illmatic, It was Written, Stillmatic, Untitled? The answer is no.

He aint been nowhere near as dope as he was back then these last couple years. I aint sayin dudes wack. He one of the best rappers ever. But hands down best period point blank, No.

Nolol, I love how you say so definitively like it's a no brainer.Obviously it's TI, duh Aint no best. He said it himself n he was right. If youve heard alot of rap its impossible to pick one dude out n say he best. Only dumbasses like you two try to call one person in a genre with a hundreds of people involved the greatest ever. You didnt know who Brand Nubian was until Lord Jamar dissed Kanye n they legends 5 mic albums n all.
