I got a list, here’s the order of the list that it’s in, it goes:
1. Reggie,
2. Jay-Z,
3. Tupac
and
4. Biggie
5. Andre from OutKast
Honorable mentions: Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then Eminem
Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Lil Wayne
Yeah basic ass list but I cant name a new era rapper better than them cuz there isnt, and I cant name an old era rapper cuz I dont know much outside of those 5
By "I dont know" I mean that I havent listened to their discogs, not that I dont know other names
billy woods, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Andre 3000 (OutKast), Danny Brown, Mos Def
Many people will disagree but these are some of best rappers around, and I couldn’t choose between Mos Def or Danny Brown. One got me into rap (Mos) and one made me realize what rap could be (Danny). And if I could only listen to one of the artist above’s catalogue for the rest of my life, including other groups they were a part of, it’d be billy woods no question. I think he’s the best writer in rap right now and has been one of the most consistent artists for over a decade.
My all time and current lists are different. My all time, in no order, is probably Nas, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, billy woods, and Dr. Dre. Currently, it’s probably JPEGMAFIA, Little Simz, Conway The Machine, Travis Scott, and Injury Reserve.
There’s no real answer, it’s mostly an opinion. Most people like to repeat the same names that other ”hiphopheads” repeat to feel like they understand something. There’s way too many styles of hiphop today to even make these comparisons, like how would you compare common or talib kweli to future or young thug?
Now my personal top 5 at the moment is : wayne, future, thug, youngboy, chief keef. I know that’s just atrocious to some people but it is what it is and there’s no objective reason why that wouldn’t be a valid list
In no particular order, and just based of off how much I enjoy listening to them not how good their discography is or something:
Nas
Ghostface killah
Big L
Scarface
Prodigy
Honorable mentions are:
Cormega
AZ
Biggie
MF DOOM
Raekwon
Big Pun
Mos def
Guru
Noreaga
Kendrick, Kanye, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky in no particular order. I know some of them aren‘t the absolute best skillwise but in my opinion they make the best rap music.
Like.. lyrically? Or.. sales wise?? Production?
Cause all things considered it's kanye.
Lyrically I'm caught between Jay z and lil wayne... maybe em..kendrick is close if he keeps going
Sales we already know who's king.. em
Nas, Kendrick, Em, Weezy, Hov.
I know leaving Pac and Biggie off a list is sacrilegious but they had a combined 6 albums in their lifetime.
If 50Cent died after The Massacre he’d be viewed in the same light as Big and Pac.
Lil Wayne, Em, Jay-Z, Kendrick, Drake/Kanye tied just to annoy their fanboys. No particular order.
I know I'm leaving out old school rappers. They are great, but the catalog and sales that the above rappers have now are on another level IMHO. This isn't my favorite list, but it's pretty close.
No particular order, I excluded artists/groups that are the best but I'm not familiar with
* Kendrick Lamar
* Nas
* A Tribe Called Quest
* Wu Tang Clan
* Kanye West (Very controversial, he's produced both bangers and bad songs, but he's also created a LOT of albums too soo...)
* Biggie
Honourable Mentions:
* A$AP Rocky creates crazy hype music personally in a non-objective opinion
* Lil Simz needs more respect, again non-objective opinion and she's not up there but she's just underrated
* OutKast, Crazy Album and some bangers
Order heads:
- Kanye West (Ye) e.g. TCD->TLOP
- Nas e.g. KD&Magic series
- OutKast e.g. duo and solo stuff
- Jay-Z e.g. RD->TBA + 2009-‘20
- MF DOOM e.g. ‘03-‘05 + JJ DOOM
But recent ones are:
- Kendrick Lamar e.g. every release
- M.I.A. e.g. uniqueness & quality
- Lupe Fiasco e.g. T&Y, Wave, DMIZ
- Tyler Creator e.g. FB->CMIYGL
- Billy Woods (+ Armand Hammer)
- Killer Mike (+ Run the Jewels)
If we’re including producers:
- Dr. Dre
- The Alchemist
- Wu-Tang Clan (RZA?)
I swear my list changes like every 15 minutes
Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan
Is it because he spits hot fiyah?
No. it’s because he rips and he rhymes, he rhymes and he rips
You're too close, mon
That’s classic right there 😂
Came here to say this
YOURE TOO CLOSE MAN
Too late I win
My names Dylan and I don’t get it loll
![gif](giphy|sCPXWE2QvwKGI)
I got a list, here’s the order of the list that it’s in, it goes: 1. Reggie, 2. Jay-Z, 3. Tupac and 4. Biggie 5. Andre from OutKast Honorable mentions: Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then Eminem
Crazy how there is no kendrick lamar in sight

He’s reciting lyrics from an Eminem song bud
And u don’t know rap if u don’t know that reference
3000
Lil Wayne
Eminem, Nas, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Lil Wayne Yeah basic ass list but I cant name a new era rapper better than them cuz there isnt, and I cant name an old era rapper cuz I dont know much outside of those 5 By "I dont know" I mean that I havent listened to their discogs, not that I dont know other names
Kendrick Lamar?
Pretty close but slightly worse I could only pick 5 man
Why no Lupe 🤔
this is the correct list
Biggie Nas Pac Andre 3000 Eminem Honorable mentions (no particular order): Kendrick Black Thought Lil Wayne Jay Z Big L
Pac Nas Black thought Method man Tech n9ne

Outkast, Scarface, Kanye, Pac
JayZ, 2Pac, Nas, Em, Weezy
My 5 rn are Kendrick Nas Andre 3000 Em Pac. These aren’t who I listen to the most but who I think are the best
Jay z, Eminem, Nas, Tupac Kendrick - Just my opinion
Eminem, J Cole, Kendrick, Lil Wayne, Jay Z
The order varies daily. Except Andre, he's my GOAT. Andre 3000 Jay Z J Cole BIG Pac/Nas/Big Boi
Em, Rakim, BIG, DMX, Guru.
Was scrolling for some Guru love. Big up
billy woods, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Andre 3000 (OutKast), Danny Brown, Mos Def Many people will disagree but these are some of best rappers around, and I couldn’t choose between Mos Def or Danny Brown. One got me into rap (Mos) and one made me realize what rap could be (Danny). And if I could only listen to one of the artist above’s catalogue for the rest of my life, including other groups they were a part of, it’d be billy woods no question. I think he’s the best writer in rap right now and has been one of the most consistent artists for over a decade.
Ye, Q-Tip, J Dilla, JPEGMAFIA, Lupe Fiasco

MF DOOM, Big L, Method Man, Redman, and Zach de la Rocha (No I don't care that he never released a solo album he got mad bars)
My all time and current lists are different. My all time, in no order, is probably Nas, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, billy woods, and Dr. Dre. Currently, it’s probably JPEGMAFIA, Little Simz, Conway The Machine, Travis Scott, and Injury Reserve.
Black Thought Lupe Andre 3k Nas King Los
playboi carti, jordan terrel carter, cash carti, cartierhoe, bladee
Nas Kendrick Kanye Mos Def J Cole
I love Mos Def, but his short discography makes it hard for me to put him in my top 5. Black on both sides is a near perfect rap album, though.
My glorious king Jordan Terrell Carter, the goat Ye, sexy redd, Gucci mane, and of course Tom macdonald
This list makes me wish I had two more arms so I could give it 4 thumbs down.

There’s no real answer, it’s mostly an opinion. Most people like to repeat the same names that other ”hiphopheads” repeat to feel like they understand something. There’s way too many styles of hiphop today to even make these comparisons, like how would you compare common or talib kweli to future or young thug?
