rakim, krs, guru, nas, biggie, pac, tribe, mos def, phonte, big l. someone said dre?? strange.

 

you all know nothing..... MURS, The Grouch, Eligh, Immortal Technique, thats just to name a few! I know someone is gonna say... "who are those people?" dre? eminem? please....

 

some will say that. i will say, LIVING LEGENDS baby!!

 

kool kieth, biz markie, schooly-d, t la rock,

hip-hop is dead. long live hip-hop.

 

visionaries, living legends, wu-tang, dilated peoples, immortal technique, 2 pac

 

everyone threw the legends out after i threw it out.... but that guys statement is a double standard.... "hip-hop is dead.... long like hip-hop" huh?

 

executioners, yes dr. dre, wc, ice cube, nwa

 

it's a figure of speech dude...geez. It's a play on the phrase, "The king is dead. Long live the king!"

 

i never heard of that.... i thought it was a typo or something. thats why i said it.... relax people. and i put like, i meant to put live....

 

who's everybody? only one person said living legends after you. the reason i didn't say it is because they are faaaaaaarrrr from the best going back the almost 30 years of the recorded history

 

Living Legends are the best hip hop artists to never sell any records...lol Nobody listens to them but college kids. I mean they have their moments, but nowhere near the best.

 

^x2. i like them as artists...not even close to top dogs

 

rappin ron and ant didley dogg, Ant banks, spice one, rappin 4 tay, brotha lynch hung.

 

Oh snap, someone said Rob VanWinkle!!!!!!

 

bone thugs-n-harmony. seriously. i kno they rap fast, but take some time to listen to what they say


and











lil bow wow
i had to do it

 

the original list put up was just not even right....
everybody has such different styles...people threw out west coasters(dre,Tupac, game, ras kass, snoop); east coasters(Nas,dipset, wu-tang, BIG,) political/conscious rap(heiroglyphics) south side aka 3rd coast(UGK, Paul Wall) Dirty South ( Lil Boosie, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Juvenile, BG) Ole school hip-hop (humpty, NWA)

theres no way to even begin to say whos the best...it all depends on where the pride of your side is...

Im from texas so really my favorites is all the guys who describe texas in their music..
Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, UGK---Bun B, PimpC,
Big Tuck...but i still jam out to Snoop, Xzibit, Dre, Game, Timbaland, Tupac, Method Man, Nas, Lil Wayne, BG, Rick Ross,

CANT WE aLL GET ALONG!?

^just kiddn had to say it

 

seems like people are just naming dudes they like now, not the best hip hop artist. spice 1? rappin 4 tay? ant banks? c'mon now

 

They don't know bout no Boosie...that BadAzz is fire...

BIG MONEEEEEY...

 

damn, i cant belive i 4got bout weezy

Lil wayne is by far holdin down the #1 spot right now.
"best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired"

Jay is back, but i think weezy still gonna hold it down.
anybody hear his freestyle over Jay's show me wat u got?
fire!!!!

wayne is nice, smooth, and most important, he consistent.
he will even say some ____ that'll have u thinkin "wow, who says that" lol

so yea, bone and wayne on my list.
i like/listen to a lot, but those are my 2. hate it or love it.

speakin of that, Game is actually steppin his game up. he's more on a flowin status now instead of just "gansta rappin"

 

the old school 1s r 2pac,BIG,NAS,HOV, snoop
new 1s r wezzie, chamilinare, Lupe, talib kwali,papoose,game, and the kid who will change hip hop JOE BUDDEN!!!!
