List of the Best Rappers
There are so many names out there that need the “50 Best Rappers,” or “Best 100 Rappers.” I’ve been suckered into viewing a few of them, and it looks that when they finally get down to the great stuff, I always wind up ranting and raving for hours afterward.
In all honesty, do you REALLY think Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive? Do you really consider that Nas is the greatest of all time?
Here’s my top five name, and I’ll explicate each one as we go. Save in mind, I have resettled them in alphabetical order, because I feel when you find to this level of skill, it’s impossible to suppose one is easier than the other. Therefore here we go:
1. Aesop Rock. You can’t make much more off the beaten track than this. Drop dead genius lyrics, the kind you can listen to for years and still be astonished by what he says. “I said this cat the earth was flat/ He walked the planet till his beard grew long enough to strangle himself for being stupid” There is no other MC in the world who voices alike him, or raps like him. He is in his own arena, and no one can touch him. A right master, and one of the best rappers ever,
2.Brother Ali. In my belief, the best rapper right nowadays. Whereas Aesop Rock is cutting edge, Brother Ali is a throw back to hip hop’s golden era, mixing intricate rhymes (“way I maneuver kama sutra give me a statue”) call-and-responses and hard songwriting. He as well has the most powerful voice since Chuck D.
3. Eminem. One of the best lyricists ever, and maybe the best hip hop songwriter period of time. He has written songs with a consistent rhyme system throughout (“The Way I Am”) great combat tracks alike “Role Model” and amidst a lot of trash speaking, he managed to really suppose something along the way. Besides, of the MC’s in this list, he is probably the best freestyler, too.
4. Melle-Mel. The Godfather. He got hip hop to a new level, and his songs continue as relevant now as they were decades ago. I ever feel that Mell-Mel isn’t rapping, he’s uttering at once to me, changing targets home with each rhyme. Really, if you don’t have any old Melle-Mel records, go out and purchase them. He is the first of a long tradition, and still continues one of the best rappers.
5. Rakim. Many claim Rakim is the best rapper e’er, and I wouldn’t argue. His use of interior rhymes was revolutionary, with a voice that melts into the beat. Over 20 years older, and no one ever got close to creating a flow that is as fluid as his.
Who would you put on your list of best rappers? Any I lost?
