    I'd have Game pretty high on my list. I get that allot of people don't like him but I've listened to all of his albums and I like his music.

    I'd have game much higher on my list if it wasn't for his unnecessary and over the top name dropping!

    I swear I don't think I've heard a track where he doesn't drop a name!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭melted_face


    Of all time:

    Eminem
    Biggie
    Pun
    Kendrick
    Nas


    Now:

    Kendrick
    Jay Electronica
    Earl
    Danny Brown
    Chance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭masti123


    1. Tupac
    2. Costello
    3. Immortal Technique
    4. DMX
    5. 4Real

    He has disappointed in recent years. Almost deserving of being on there for "Hate it...", "300 Bars" and "400 Bars". Almost.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Right now

    Eminem
    Kendrick
    Macklemore
    Chamillionaire
    Big Boi

    All time

    Nas
    Big Daddy Kane
    Snoop
    LL
    Cube
    Ice T
    Easy E

    Yeah I kind of agree. I loved his LAX album (2008) It was a great album. I think after that his work started to decline a bit. I think because his heart really wasn't in it anymore,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭Shapey Fiend


    Hah.. token black guy in a couple of those lists confirms my prejudices about Irish rap fans.

    The correct list is of course.

    1. Young Thug
    2. Future
    3. Danny Brown
    4. Juicy J
    5. Kevin Gates


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭Menelaun


    I would say today
    1.Kendrick Lamar
    2.Action Bronson
    3.Joey Bada$$
    4.Earl Sweatshirt
    5.Meechy Darko or anyone from Flatbush Zombies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭Menelaun


    Of all Time I would personally say
    1.Biggie
    2.Tupac
    3.Big L
    4.Nas
    5.It's a Throw up between Q-tip and Phife Dawg becuase they came out a real different sound then what was out at the time and had a massive impact on hip hop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,246 ✭✭✭conor.hogan.2


    All time: Rakim, 2pac, krs-one, chuck-d and Nas.
    Current: kendrick, j cole, sage francis, game and danny brown.

    Both lists have massive toss ups like no Jay, kanye, Pun or canibus or .... and no groups like run-dmc and beasties, wu-tang. No q, soul or rock or tonedeff or....

    Childish Gambino and Chance are another good release from being up there.

    Aha :D With the list I meant in rotation atm. With Cudi for me, he comes in spells. Best heard when he's needed, a bit of gloomy, blazed up company. Actually - feel like throwing on A Kid Named Cudi right now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 737 ✭✭✭Jezek


    Have a tough time understanding what you mean...top 5 now, what does that mean? Snoop one of the GOAT, he is still active, but his **** that he has out right now is not that great. So does he go on my list? Or is it 5 rappers that are currently hot that we like?

    If so, 5 rappers that I love right now, and have recent, hot projects:

    Action Bronson
    Killer Mike
    Pusha T
    Kevin Gates
    Gucci Mane

    Shoutout: Chance the rapper, Gunplay, all of TDE, Migos, Juicy J

    bonus : 5 producers that have put out some quality **** recently:

    Harry Fraud
    Young Chop
    Mike Will Made It
    Party Supplies
    El-P
