Top 5 rappers of all time..

[Fresh Kid]

i don't think he is top 5 but why does big daddy kane not get love. He fathered a lot of the rappers that came out in the early 90's/mid 90's that people have in their top 5.

true, biggie and jay z looked up to him.

jay z is definitely tha most overrated rapper of all time to me.

You still have yet to post your top 5....

[MMM]

Not much of a Jay Z fan but he has grown on me over the years. There are still a ton of rappers that i prefer over him though.

To be honest, if people are going to have Nas as their top 5, somewhere in there should be Jay-Z. Nas dropped a classic album for sure but hasn't done jack after that besides some of the stuff with The Firm.

All people remember are Jay's hit songs, which were more club tracks but for those that actually bought Jay-Z albums, I would say the old schoolers because we actually listen to the entire album, rather than today just downloading certain songs, Jay had a lot of hidden gems.

I'm not even including mixtapes that Jay was on. Something you guys probably can't find. I have them on cassette. Let's not forget those B-side tracks on wax too. You guys just know Jay, the mainstream guy, some of us actually listened to him when nobody knew who he was. We get his stuff from promoters. Damn, I'm old.

Jay-Z new stuff is hot garbage but just about everything from RD to Black Album is a classic. I know its not his most popular one, but Vol. 1 might be my favorite Jay album.

I really dont have a top 5 now, but If I were to pick..

2pac
nas (old nas)
eminem/rakim
biggie (mostly his flow and stories)
and tha last slot iz left open for someone special

This. Nas won the battle, but Jay-Z's career still takes a hot steamy poo on his career. And I like Nas a lot. But the only rapper with a better body of work is 2Pac imo.

great answer

[SilkkTheShocker]

he was nice, could of been a lot better tho.

I thought he was always underrated. Still a huge fan to this day.
