The 5 best and five worst rappers of all time

Most rap now is terrible, but some was and always will be great, who are they and who is the worst rappers of all time. Tell me Just some rules

1. They must be a signed artist which had a nationwide release (So no Johnny down the roads)
2. They can be from any period of rap from the Sugar hill gang onwards
3. They must rap in English (So no knocking MC Solaar)
4. They must have at least one rap album out, so no one song rappers or rap parodies
5. A real rap artist no clones or wannabes (eg John Stewart or Weird Al doing a crap).
6. It dosen't have to be their rapping that makes them bad, can be their attitude and image as well

My five worst

5. Vanilla Ice
4. Lil Wayne
3. Young Jeezy
2. Chingy
1. Lil Jon (He has taken black people back 200 years)

My five best

5. Kanye West
4. Jay Z
3. Snoopra Dogg
2. Dr Dre
1. Ice Motherfucking T (OG)
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

hmmm I'm not a fan of Run DMC, and I used to really like Eminem's raps when he was popular, but I can agree with all the others on your lists. I would replace Eminem with wackness like Soulja Boy on the "Worst" list.


It's kinda hard to pick the 5 "best" rappers though. There are a few more I would add, like Lupe Fiasco, AZ, Snoop, and Nas. I really like Queen Latifah and Bow Wow too.

I can see your point man, there are a lot of people out there saying they reprasent their hood and they don't, still even if they are from a middle class background and put a rap album out, I will accept it.

I am amazed no one has mentioned Tony M, although someone did say TC Ellis
