BETs Top 10 rappers of the 21st Century...

[Soul Crusher]

Of course...

But there is always Slayer! lol

Slayer is in a whole other league.   I love old school 80's rap, but slayer is just on its own level.   

[Soul Crusher]

How can anyone even remotely compare the trash of today with these

[SilverSpoon]

Pun should not be on that list.  Very limited body of work.  If that is the case, Method Man should be on the list just for Tical alone.  That album was one that you could listen to non-stop, and not be disappointed with shit.
Unlike Tupac, where you had to hear some dumb shit drop like "Keep Ya Head Up".
But I have to agree with Parker, I missed out on Common (Sense), which ain't so Common.
Shit, if you really want to talk about flow and speed, then you have to mention Big Daddy Kane, who could spit with anyone.

Ok Pun cant go on the list and he had 2 albums...how many did BIG put out..? Is he not in the conversation?

i'm educated

i'm educated

Educated in curry and bath houses

Eminem is the only rapper who is so talented that he can make white collar educated non rap fans think, and be in awe of his lyrics. He can appease the "hood"...as well as be a chart topper while maintaining the outmost respect from all his peers. All his peers listen to him.

He's so much more advanced than anyone else.

The video wiggs posted proves it. Just listen to that! It's poetry, it's rage and emotion tailor made for the "beat" he is rapping over. It's art, period.

I love all types of music and enimem is the only rapper that can make me stop and go, wow.

The type of hip hop I listen to:

Old common
Old Mos Def
Outkast
Gangstar

[Nails]

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Uhh, I dream filthy
My moms and pops mixed me with Jamaican Rum and Whiskey
Huh, what a set up
Shoulda pushed 'em dead off, wipe the sweat off
Uhh, cause in this world I'm dead off, squeeze lead off
Benz sped off, ain't no shook hands in Brook-land
Army fatigue break up teams, the enemies
Look man, you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Moms crotched up over the casket, screamin BASTARD
Cryin, know my friends is lyin
Y'all know who killed 'em filled 'em with the lugars from they Rugers
or they Desert, dyin ain't the shit but it's pleasant
Kinda quiet, watch my niggaz bring the riot
Giving cats the opposite of diets
You gain thirty pounds when you die no lie, lazy eye
I was high when they hit me, took a few cats with me
Shit, I need the company (uh-huh)
Apoligies in order, to T'Yanna my daughter
If it was up to me you would be with me, sorta like
Daddy Dearest, my vision be the clearest
Silencers so you can't hear it
Competition still fear it, shit don't ask me
I went from ashy to nasty to classy, and still

Amen!....Even now, that I don't enjoy rap/hip hop as much, I still enjoy Eminem....I can hear his flow, lyrics and passion in all his music....Never changed his style to be a sell out always looked to other music for inspiration...The guy is a once in a generation artist

The man is a poet. The emotion and rage that comes out of him is amazing. His words fit together like no one else.

And he doesn't have to make up his own language to make his rhymes work lol...

[Fallsview]

Pretty dumb not to have any of the old school guys who started rap on the list.

One guy who I think will be on the list as he gets further in his career is Canadian rapper Belly.  He's not scared to give contraversial opinions, is backed by Snoop Dogg, and can rap about mid-east politics while making party jams too:

[slaveboy1980]

there are no good rappers. rap is crap.

Wait a minute here....This guy is Canadian but talks about being born in the middle or war and on streets of violence....I wouldn't call him controversial at all...Just a dude trying to make a name for himself by rapping about whats in the news to date....
