Obviously, you haven't heard anyone other than those 2.

Best rapper?
Material wise --> Rakim, Nas, Common, BDK, Kool G Rap
Skillwise --> Rakim, Nas, Common, Canibus, GZA, AZ

No.


Thats why we all have opinions i guess. But I still gave you your answer :)

Isn't it their fault they died anyway? I thought these people were messed up in drugs and violence and stuff. How does that earn respect? Because they were icons?

Great lists, Canibnus/GZA totally underrated in terms of delivery. I'd probably put Eminem in that second list too, maybe even Big L (RIP)

lol ... i'd say Canibus is very good and rhyming off the top of his head and keep going and going. But the last few albums do not have enough "skills" to tell me a story through his songs.

Tupac and Biggie stood out because of their ensuing beef and untimely deaths. They were a huge influence to many people and friends to others. For you to have a mental block on a song because they mention someone of influence, you need to concentrate a bit more.

Last note, i have no idea why people get so caught up on OTHER people's art material. Whether it's rap, rock, or craving statuettes out of wood. People need to find other things to worry about.


Edit: "Skillwise"
not sure if you meant: delievery, story telling, branching out and using other types of music, battle raps, live performances .. yadda yadda .. yadda ... subjective.

Come on, you know you removed that Elvis is King line in your sig right after you posted that. Too bad quotes don't save the sig, as well. LOL

This thread blows... I have avoided it since last night but keep seeing it at the top so I finally caved, and it is exactly as pointless as I thought it would be....

And now to make it worse, I am part of the problem in keeping this damn thing near the top!!!!!

Please ATOT let this topic RIP

They are all in hell for their murderous money worshiping lifestyles. I sure hope they enjoy the stay.
