Top 5 rappers of all time?

You are currently posting as works at

1. Biggie
2. Jay
3. Pac
4. KDot
5. Em (prior to 2011)
6. Snoop
7. Wayne (in the ’03 – ’10, no one could touch him)
8. 3 stacks (and I’m shocked I have him this low)
9. Nas
10. Ye (prior to Pablo)
11. *any WU-Tang member*
12. Drake (sustained his peak from Take Care to IYRTITL)
13. 50 (’00 – ’06, no one made a hit/brand like him)
14. Cube
15. Lauryn Hill
16. TIP (no question he created the trap music everybody loves today)
17. Jadakiss
18. Cole
19. Slick Rick
20. Pimp C / DMX / Busta

Agree OP. For example: KRS-One, Guru - modern day philosophers. It’s not just about the flow, but the message.

1) Guru
2) Rakim
3) KRS-One
4) Nas
5) Big L

As any art, it’s highly subjective, so I would be surprised if we all arrived on a single conclusion. But nonetheless, it’s good to see the perspectives from different generations and the persistence of the genre.
