4 real...
I remember those days fondly. Chuck D was what got me into hip hop, as far as being passionate about the art form. Before that I was just a casual listener but when Chuck D yelled "Brothas gonna work it out" that changed my life right there.

Don't know if these would be the five greatest, but my five favorite MCs are probably the D.O.C., 2Pac, Rakim, Eminem, and Chali 2na.

Eminem # 1 ::)


I didnt grow up listening to anybody on my list, or anybody else lists for that matter.  I got into rap back in 98`when my brother bought Rythm-al-ism, and I was hooked, and i just 8 years old, im 14 now.

Just because you didnt grow up listening to Run DMC or slick rick doent mean they cant be on your list.

This is a thread for the greatest MCs ever, not your favourite.  So if you have Crooked I or Yukmouth on your list you need to do your homework.

yukmouth and crook are shitting on alot of artists and yuk has a huge body of work out there. 

ice cube? scarface?   yuk, crook, techniec...there's a ton of cats shitting all over cube & face.

chuck d?  if you're saying "most influential" sure; but even chuck jokes about how he's not a great mc. 

i'm always unclear as to why cats will say b. smalls and not jay-z, smalls really isn't fucking with hova, especially hova's early work.

i'm unclear as to why redman never gets any mention, he's been a tight lyrcist with a somewhat unique perspective and flow for some time.

and as for kool g rap, rakim and kane?   this isn't like the late '80's and early '90's where noone was fucking with them either.  that level of lyricism cats have been excercising in the past 10 years have brought ra and kane back to earth and back to the pack.  they may be still holding their own, but certainly not the gold standard their material once was. 

alot of these lyricists in the past 10 years have taken notice of what fane and ra were doing, and built on and expanded on those skills.  so to put them in the top 5 is to pay them their due respect, but to ignore that cats have built on and improved on much of what they were doing.

Wow. You're either really naive or really stupid.  I sentence you to buy illmatic and listen to it 10 times. And then explain your logic of why those mc's are better than Nas. Then again you're probably 12 years old, so i guess you at least have that arguement.

This is a thread for the greatest MCs ever, not your favourite.  So if you have Crooked I or Yukmouth on your list you need to do your homework.

word
guys thinking daz and tupac lyrically played in the same league gotta be out their fucking minds!
but i think some ppl really misunderstood the topic

its about who got the best skills behind the mic - daz, crooked i, spice 1 definately are hot - some great westcoast rappers - but they never had the talent nas or tupac has/had

maybe this should have stood in the first post to avoid this misunderstanding

This is hard..so many to name..

Off the top of my head...stuff im really enjoying right now..

1. Gang Starr
2. Masta Ace
3. 2pac
4. Nas
5. Immortal Technique

Because it was later clarified to me that its top 5 Mc's....

Like..some ppl are really good MC's with great flows..and others rap well..but like...i dunno how to explain..is there a difference? Blah..i'll just say what i think the top 5 are in a new context.

1. Gang Starr
2. Nas
3. 2pac
4. Big Daddy Kane
5. Its hard...i wanna say Big L, but not enough material...i wanna say Jay...but somethings holding me back. Then Biggie comes in...oh how could i forget Rakim.

As for the West coast fans...its fine being a fan, but why hate on East coast, its so stupid. U hate on stuff just because its from one certain part of America....maybe its because im from Australia...i dunno...i wouldnt dislike music just being its from Perth and i live in Sydney...its ridiculous.

shut the fuck up faggot get the hell out of here with your east coast bias shit no one wants to hear about it. i dont like rakim, i dont like nas i dont jay z or 50 or outkast
FUCK THE EASTCOAST, get out of this forum with your east bullshit

yukmouth,c-bo,daz,kurupt,40glocc,spice1,celly cel,jayo felony, roscoe, balance, richie rich, mac dre, too short, e-40, eastwood, b-legit, ice cube, tray dee, bad azz, soopafly are bettet than any on mc on the whole east coast period!

Wow. You're either really naive or really stupid.  I sentence you to buy illmatic and listen to it 10 times. And then explain your logic of why those mc's are better than Nas. Then again you're probably 12 years old, so i guess you at least have that arguement.

LOL at the sentence. He's prolly 12 yrs old so dont bother arguing with this idiot.

 to whatever dumbass "ordered" me to buy illmatic and listen to it 10 times, how about your faggot ass by "spice 1 amerikas worst nightmare" or daz"retaliation, revenge, and get back" and your east coast loving ass can hear what rap is all about.

you guys shit on my list for no reason to begin with because of my west love well then you should expect that im going to name 30 rappers from the west that are better than the east.

these forums are all about opinions and my opinion is that I can name anywhere from 40-80 rappers on the west better than any single mc on the east and thats how i feel, so all of you who dissed my picks on your posts you can all eat a dick

Are you honestly trying to say that RR&GB is in the same league as Illmatic? I like Daz and all but RR&GB is nowhere near the level of Illmatic.

lyrically daz isn't fucking with nas.  but revenge, retaliation and get back had better beats than illmatic.  there's maybe three tracks off illmatic that i still listen too with any regularity, "represent", "ain't hard to tell" and "the world is yours", daz dilly has 6 or 7 tracks i'm still bumpin "it might sound crazy, our daily bread, baby mama drama, in california, ridin' high, only for you, og [sometimes]". 
plus, kurupt's verse on "our daily bread" will serve anything nas spit on illmatic.

The top 3 are pretty easy to name

1. Tupac
2. Scarface
3  Eminem

There's a big drop off after this

who gives a shit whether Cube is better than Snoop or Quik is better than Xzibit, none of them are in the same league as the top 3.  In terms of flow, no one can touch my top 3.  And Rakim?  What's he done lately?  You can't keep giving niggas credit for shit they did like 15 years ago.  Modern beats sound a lot better than old school beats, to me anyway.

how did this shit turn into east coast vs west coast lol!

even though i prefer west coast music, there is no way u can leave people like Kool G Rap, Chuck D, Kane, Rakim, KRS etc outta the top rappers of all time. Along with Ice Cube, 2Pac, etc.

Its hard to pick a top5.. but for gods sake stop wit this east/west bullshit.

im young, but judging by some of the posts, some of u must be 11-12 years old:

loll...you must not have read the title of this thread...5 Greatest Mc's Of All Time  ;)

anyway, not in any order...

Rakim, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Big Daddy Kane, Biggie

the fact that i have picked 4 east coast acts is neither here nor there, it doesnt mean that i am biased to one coast over another, it merely means that in my opinion these are the 5 greatest of all time...

there are a number of others who imo are very close to the list, but who i didnt put in for whatever reason...Nas, Big L, Ice Cube, KRS-One, Kurupt, Scarface, Redman, Chuck D, Kool G Rap, Eminem...

If you post someone very stupid, I might not want to waste my time to type a response.  So I just click that button to show you I think your post is nonsense. 
There is no point coming up with a comeback to something really stupid.  If someone says that Cam'ron is the greatest MC ever I'm not going to present arguements why he's not because it's not worth it.
