Post by: CharlieBrown on January 13, 2003, 09:37:05 AM: 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.

Post by: PLANT on January 13, 2003, 09:54:03 AM: 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

Post by: =[Euthanasia]= on January 13, 2003, 11:42:29 AM: 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

Post by: Jome on January 13, 2003, 05:04:52 PM: 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..

Post by: Trauma-san on January 13, 2003, 08:43:26 PM: 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"

Others:
Biggie
Snoop Dogg
Ghostface
Slick Rick
Method Man
Shyne

Title: Re:Who had/has the greatest voice in hip-hop ever?
Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 14, 2003, 10:01:51 AM: I'm not too sure about a #1 for me.

Considering thier voice when rapping I think Rakim, Biggie and Nas. I think thier voices just fit well with thier delivery & flow and mesh perfectly. Slick Rick and Q-Tip have cool, orginal voices. Guys like Lord Have Mercy have cool sounding voices but I don't think I could take a whole album from him. I think he's better suited in a group.

Best voice while talking, Method Man.
Best voice while yelling, 2Pac.

Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on January 14, 2003, 12:40:41 PM: Only one person could ever win this battle for me:

Rakim

His voice is just so dope, he is deceptably smooth through his voice when he is actually being very lyrical at the same time.

Notable Mentions:
Method Man
Xzibit
Guru
Billy Danze
Biggie
Mos Def

And for just being funny:
Mystikal - this guy cracks me up all the time, you know before you even hear him on a track that he is coming up cause you always heard him making noises and shit in the background and saying "watch yourself" or "get on the floor", he really is pure comedy.
Title: Re:Who had/has the greatest voice in hip-hop ever?
Post by: Trauma-san on January 14, 2003, 12:53:26 PM: Mystikal's always gonna be a favorite of mine, ever since I first heard him say

"OOH SH*T, MOTHAF*CKA, G*D D*AMN!
I KEEP IT AIIIIGHT! BITCH, I"M THA MAN!!!!!"

LOL, that's one of the best lines ever in rap.

Title: Re:Who had/has the greatest voice in hip-hop ever?
Post by: I TO DA GEEZY on January 18, 2003, 01:29:17 AM: as far as vocals go, NAS has got to have the most effective voice, I mean his ILL ASS smooth vocals got his ass not once out of gettin exposed, simply by distructing with it's dopeness from all kinds of weaknesses some of his material had.
