    Cannibal Ox, seriously, just take a look around your gaff, you must have one pill left! Surely that kunt Ay Cee didnt take them all (tho it would explain why hes not been about lately)

    Sigh

    Pac was good, but overrated
    Dr Dre has one of the best voices in rap, however a huge amount of his lyrics are written by others
    Eminem has fallen off since he kicked the drugs
    Snoop Dogg is only a legend for his early 90s work. Next Episode and P.I.M.P are sadly nearly the only things of note has done sinc e1996

    Biggie Smalls was the illest.....

    You are so right

    You should get a lifetime ban for starting yet another bloody poll. That said 2pac by far apart from the posthumous realseas which are 90% rubbish, snoop stills lives off the success of his first (amazing) album and just brings out singles with filler albums. Eminem is good lyricly but has not been on form since his second album and dre is an amazing producer but is no rapper but as has been said has a good voice for rap.

    Has gotta be Tupac.How many ppl can say they will be as famous as he is . . after he is dead.But sayin dat,heis bein followed closely by Dre in my views

    Do they sell 'em on e-bay?

    Eminem - Slim Shady LP's the sh!t, Infinite's on a Tribe Called Quest vibe and really isn't anything that special, his song on Soundbombing 2 and the one he did with High & Mighty were in his prime. Marshall Mathers isn't that bad, but everything else after is sh!te.
    2pac - Overrated.
    dr.dre - Great producer, member of NWA gets some credit but jesus, he's ****íng repetitive.
    snoop dogg - Never really been interested in him, fairly generic sh!t.

    So out of them, Eminem in Slim Shady mode.

    eminem clearly for me. He is an absolute amazing mc.

    As for scuba steve who must have swallowed too much sea water when he went scuba diving and this gem of a comment
    How many ppl can say they will be as famous as he is . . after he is dead.

    He sold more albums dead than he did alive because he was shot and killed. You can't say "how many..." because there is no way of saying.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Who is the better rapper from this list and then you give "none of the above" as an option.. :boggle:

    Meh, I'd say Eminem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,445 ✭✭✭echomadman


    wow a poll! i love these, i cant wait till someone makes a "Which Gangsta rapper are you?" quiz.

    I vote snoop, because i dont care for eminem although he is skilled, dre is a preposterous nominee for best rapper and i never liked tupac much,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox


    AH For me even though it was short-lived( with the AIDS thing and all) I always loved Eazy for his style. I love Dre and N.W.A. is the shit

    Dat cheese guy tinks hes all dat and a bag of crisps,jus coz hes a moderator guy.I can say "how many", is there a law against it? **** naw. Stick dat in ur blunt and smoke it. Ya u heard me, i said blunt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭Kristok


    haha go on scuba steve stick it to em 2pac forever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    2Pac for me, I outlined why about 43 times alreadly on this site. 'Twas a hard choice between him and Eminem, Marshall Mathers LP was savage and is my favorite album out of them all. I liked the Eminem Show as well.

    Dre; he isn't a rapper. He was a DJ, is now a producer and he his (best) lyrics are written by others.

    Snoop; His G Funk stuff was the best and he pops up on the odd good single. He's nothing special nowadays though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    Seriously Dre is a weak rapper with horrible lyrics.He doesn't come close to the other three.

    I would say Eminem for his excellent and original lyrics although 2pac had that emotion and anger and Snoop had that original casual laid back style.They all aded something special to the rap scene.

    Yeah that's exactly it. "tink hes all dat and a bag of crisps."

    I know you are from retardo land but you think your from compton.

    How's California Cheesedude?

    I can't believe 3 people have voted for Dr. Dre as the best rapper.

    thankgod some1 said it, why wud u make a poll with such limited talent


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 291 ✭✭yak_kadafi


    what a waste of a thread....dunno why the hell this **** is even up...
    anyone that voted for anyone other than 2pac as being the better rapper should go back under the ****in rock that they have been for the last few years...
    it was once said "All you rappers out there owe 80% of your success to tupac and the outlawz"
    rap was around before pac but 2pac made rap what it is.....not this **** today..with the likes on snoops gay new style,eminem's taking shots at everyone **** etc
    there are millions of reasons to as why pac is the best and i aint gonna even start
    those who voted for anyone other than him shouldnt be allowed to have an opinion
    peace

    Nah Rakim made rap what it is today and theres been plenty or rappers,if not on the west side,that have surpassed Tupac is technical skill and flow.He was better then Dre,Eminem and Snoop though.

    nah man dont agree..
    rakim in my opinion hasnt done anything as big as 2pac............although his flow is good his technical skill doesnt come near tupacs and how could i have forgotten to mention yaki kadafi...died at 19 rip but man was he talented..I think had he lived he would have surpassed any rapper.....you really gotta listen to some of his tracks..notably the ones on son rize volume1 and when it came down to pac and him sharing the mic they were definitley a deadly combination

    Its all about infleunce imo.Its obvious Tupac acheieved more then Rakim,Rakim lost it after a few albums and tupac was in him prime till his death.Compare albums,hits,awards then Tupac wins hands down.But ask Nas or 50 who infleunced them most then it will always be the likes of Rakim and Marley to come out of there mouth.Rakim was the father of modern rap,the literate and fluid rap we here today and heard throughout the 90's from the east coast.If they battled,both in there primes,i think Tupac would win but thats just opinion.
    and how could i have forgotten to mention yaki kadafi...died at 19 rip but man was he talented..I think had he lived he would have surpassed any rapper.....you really gotta listen to some of his tracks..notably the ones on son rize volume1 and when it came down to pac and him sharing the mic they were definitley a deadly combination

    The outlaws dude?I'll check him out,2pac had some excellent rappers backing him up.
