Best Rapper Dead or Alive

[spk123]

Adding some others that haven't been mentioned in the thread (well, they might have, just didnt see them :wink: MF DOOM, Killer Mike (criminally underrated), k-os, The Roots, Nappy Roots, Wu-Tang Clan...

as for the single best single rap VERSE (yes, I know a bit off-topic), I would like to nominate R.A. the Rugged Man's second verse from "Uncommon Valor" by Jedi Mind Tricks [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzFKltwLUEk"]YouTube - Uncommon Valor - Jedi Mind Tricks 2006[/ame]

Weezy just got moved to #1 on my list. I went to his concert (I Am Music tour) and it was amazing. He played about 20 songs and was on stage for 2 hours.

Part of being a good rapper, in my mind, is being a good performer. He is as good as anyone out there(probably the best) at putting on a good show. He is very good at interacting with the crowd and making the concert "flow".

If you have a chance to see this show, u should. Keri Hilson and Gym Class Heroes open and are also very good.

Biggy would have been amazing if he would have had more time

 

[CyDude16]

Well currently lyrically it has to be Talib Kweli or Lupe Fiasco, beat wise probably Lil' Wayne or Common. IMO

Don't they kinda accuse biggy of hiring someone of shooting tupac.

Just accusations. I doubt there is anything true about that. I wish they were both still alive, for obvious reasons, and because they would still be great. Weezy could use the extra competition to make his music even better.

I don't think he puts out any music on his own. He does some rapping. I think its him who does the hook in Out Here Grindin
