Who IYO is the best emcee of all time
 

Well

Biggie

For me its butterfly from digable planets. did that free-associative and laid back shit really well and thats what i dig for some reason lol

Me

it's tough to say, depends on how you define "best." Is it purely lyricism? Is it influence on the game? Is it crossover appeal? All of the above? How much does their production weigh into it? Nah mean.

But to answer your question, I'd have to go with........Pac, Em or Nas. All for different reasons. Maybe Mos Def, that Blackstar album is top 5 imo. There's a list of acceptable MCs for that answer.

@Badweather is the best emcee of all time

Em

How many times must you faggots flog a dead horse?

'Aint no best'

- Nas

my favorite is jay-z from the streets is watching vhs tape all the way to the blueprint 2 the shit was all i ever listened to


btw tupac/nas is and was faggots

If I had to choose I'd probably say Royce.

He's the most complete emcee in the game imo he can do everything well.

i almost said royce bro

pun.

*sigh*

Aaron Yates imo

KRS-One

hov

idk i say its between em & pun but i cant choose lol

Big Punisher

Eminem.

Too many different styles where a certain rapper outshines the other in that specific genre to determine one king to rule them all.

I said Pun but Em is a close 2nd
never liked jay z as much as the general hip hop community does, idky

Andre 3000

Method man

Tupac

Nas


Top five is

Nasjoe budden royce jada and styles

Top five old school

Rakim
Krs one
Big daddy kane
Kool g rap
Slick Rick or LL


Top 5 old rappers

Grandmaster caz
Kool herc
Luv bug starsky
Kool moe dee
Jayz

nas/big L are top 2 for me. a lot of dope oldschool heads competing for top 10 tho.

MF Doom

Thugnificent the best fictional rapper of all time tho

2 chainz

i'm with GOW
Jay-Z his wordplay and lyrical content is amazing when u really listen to him
that renegade track he killed Em... Em had a ridiculous flow with some good at lyricism but Jay spit that Real shit.... had to hustle back to the wall ashy knuckles..
if u really pay attention to what he said his in verse.. i like Real shit.. muffuccas who talk to ya

Hov... i gotta post it whether u read it or not
Motherfuckers -
say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin, I made somethin doin
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade; you been afraid
I penetrate pop culture, bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they
pop toasters, and they live with they moms
Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies niggaz crotched over
Mommy's knocked up cause she wasn't watched over
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
No he's not around - now how that sound to ya, jot it down
I bring it through the ghetto without ridin 'round
hidin down duckin strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin relate to it?
I help them see they way through it - not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt

[Jay-Z]
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - I'm awkward, I box leftier often
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown; 'specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin green up
Raisin my fingers to critics; raisin my head to the sky
Big I did it - multi before I die (nigga)
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight

That's real talk... i dnt know if yall can relate.. but that's real shit!!



Right now.. My FAv. MC is Starlito he spits that's real shit.... ain't no1 in the game fucking with Lito... check out that Mental Warfare - shit is ridiculous

Em or Pun.

Big L after them

This boy Loast out of his fucking mind if he really thinks Jay was better than Em on Renegade.

Second that

ur the first person other then me that is een that thinks jay killed em on renengade lol

cognrats U WILL NEVER LOSE ON THIS SITE AGAIN!

i've been a fellow proponent of the jay murked em on renegades discussion

im too stoned to know if that sentence makes sense^

but word i thought jays was doper

Jay is the goat and both verses were equally dope

he speaks....
 

*keeping an eye on this potential sway voting ring*

you niggas must have retarded ears on the sides of yah faces

EM murdered Jay on that shit and Jay made my top 50 emcees so you know I'm not hating. That shit is a general consensus amongst everyone, it's like......dumbfounded to even consider the alternative. Shit's like saying

the sky is pink
you can drink poison
catching aids is fun
Jay beat Nas

come on man that's just going a little too far now. You niggas need psych evaluations or somethin

*didn't see the other two above me*

uh oh.....look man you know hiphop. I'm just gonna assume you got abducted by aliens while you were drunk and you're coming down from the high and all that

illnika- just cause you had 8th grade home room with the nigga Jay don't mean you've got a legit say so in this matter. Shit's like a conflict of interest and shit

he speaks....
 

nigga Jay bit that line too from O.C I think it was
