08.05.10 | Lol! |
MUNGOLOID
08.05.10 | lyrically, lupe is a fucking problem but musically at times, meh. |
sumyunguy
08.05.10 | as far as pure skills, immortal technique got it locked son |

08.05.10 | I know this is based on opinion, but you better be joking about Immortal Technique. |
Inveigh
08.05.10 | it's an impossible debate, but I definitely wouldn't say Lupe or Immortal Technique. Out of the guys on this list, Mos Def would probably have the best claim to it. If we're talking about what emcees have been the dopest over the past, say, 10 years.. this would be my short list:
MF DOOM
Aesop Rock
Ghostface Killah
Mac Lethal |
731
08.05.10 | that guy from house of pain |
Maniac!
08.05.10 | Aesop Rock |
Ire
08.05.10 | iron maiden |
OhAliceMonster
08.05.10 | try sean "slug" daley. |
sumyunguy
08.05.10 | oh shit, inveigh, how the hell could i forget about metal fingers?
mf doom HANDS FUCKING DOWN.
and no i wasn't joking about imm. technique. what's to joke about? the dude's fuckin good. |
Inveigh
08.05.10 | yeah, I was gonna say Slug bc he's my homie and all, and I connect with a lot of his raps from the first half of the decade. but I feel like he was better lyrically in the late 90s, on Overcast!, the Lucy Ford EPs (which I think were originally released in '99) and Headshots Se7en.
If we're counting 90s ish then, yeah, Slug's up there for sure. so is El-P (for Funcrusher Plus alone) |
Inveigh
08.05.10 | oh yeah, and for the record, I like Lupe and Immortal Tech a lot, just not necessarily enough to call either the best rapper alive. |
cirq
08.05.10 | Mf is nice and immortal is ridiculous |
Inveigh
08.05.10 | you ever listen to Lupe's old mixtapes from like 2004-06 cirq? |

08.05.10 | immortal technique is terrible
afaic z-ro is the best rapper alive |
killrobotmusic
08.05.10 | My choices would either be Aesop Rock or Guru. |
cirq
08.05.10 | I don't have his official mixtapes but I have a shitload of his stuff from back in the day... Old unreleased shit and freestyles |
killrobotmusic
08.05.10 | Nvm, forgot Guru died. :/ |
illmitch
08.05.10 | lol did you just say jay-z and lil wayne were never good
ahahahahhahaa oh man the people on this site theyre always comin up with new stuff |

Inveigh
08.05.10 | Lil Wayne kinda sucked in the very beginning of his career (see The Block is Hot) but the first two Carter albums were pretty dope and he had some legendary mixtape tracks |
TheBloodTypo
08.05.10 | The lead singer of Disturbed.
Dude can rap. :P |
Emim
08.05.10 | The front of Lil Wayne's last album said "The Newest From The Best Rapper Alive!"
Needless to say, I killed it with fire. |
cirq
08.05.10 | Has Wayne ever had a song with substance? Honest question, cuz I really do t know |
ElLumsdinho
08.05.10 | Sage Francis... |
Counterfeit
08.05.10 | I'd argue for Nas or Jigga. Even if Hov's most recent wasn't that good. |
somberlain
08.06.10 | "Robert Van Winkle"
haha! am I the only one who got that?
*shakes head* I'm old |
DeafMetal
08.06.10 | Mos Def without a damn doubt. Dude's so hard he can spit about water.
"New World Water" - Black On Both Sides |
illmitch
08.06.10 | people bitching about "substance" have to be one of the gayest things to happen to hip hop
wahhhhhhh he doesnt rap about societal issues wahhhhhhhhhhh shut the fuck up fags |
StreetlightRock
08.06.10 | P.O.S. |
Hyperion1001
08.06.10 | "Woke up this morning with my dick to the ceiling, fell asleep with anotha chick from my building, kick her ass out and have breakfast like a mufucka."
Has nothing to do with substance, it has to do with the fact that he's fucking retarded. There have been great rap songs that weren't focused on social issues, but they also weren't written in the language and maturity of an elementary school dropout. |
TMobotron
08.06.10 | GZAs always been my favorite. Aesop is killer as is MF Doom though. |
Hyperion1001
08.06.10 | What TMobotron said. I also kind of liked Inspectah Deck and Masta Killah in the 90's. Not as great now though. |
illmitch

08.06.10 | Def and Kweli's Black Star is crucial to any hip-hop collection. |
illmitch
08.06.10 | black on boths ides is better than black star |
DeafMetal
08.06.10 | Black On Both Sides is also fantastic, yeah. |
cirq
08.06.10 | Anything by Mos is good. and yeah, I'm tired of hearing about how many hoes a dude has, how he's gonna shoot me and others, and how many drugs he's on.. I wanna hear some real shit with some meaning.. |
illmitch
08.07.10 | u mad? |
qwe3
08.07.10 | omg andcas how is it you always say the most retarded shit ever.
illmitch said everything i was gonna say except i dont think the best rapper alive is z-ro |
qwe3
08.07.10 | hey mitch does it suck knowing you like shit rap and can't spell. the fact you think because he instantly has drugs and all that bullshit that automatically makes him talented is fucking ignorant. it's rappers and people like you that is fucking destroying real hip hop. |
