Your Top Five Favourite Rappers

[RULE]

Not to be confused with who you think are the BEST five ever, but just your favourite five in order.

Ive not really listened to Hip-Hop at all since around 2005, so my list is pretty dated lol.


1. 2Pac

I know he might not be the greatest in a technical sense, but he just made music you could throw on and listen to forever. Awesome voice, deep lyrics. Shame he couldnt of lived past his 'thug life' days and reached another level of maturity, Pac in '10 would of been incredible.


2. LL Cool J

Similar to Pac in the sense that he wasnt the most amazing technical rapper, you're not going to get eminem-esqe multis or busta-like flows but LL is another who was smooth on tracks, had some real dope verses and alot of different styles of songs over his catalogue.


3. Immortal Techinque

IT makes me hate mainstream rap after i listen to a full album of his, hard to go from his thought-provoking verses to the usual played staples of hip-hop. Do i agree with everything he says? Absolutely not, but he challenges you to think about things from a different angle. And that aside... the man can spit. Punchlines, flow, and he always seems to have great production.

4. The Game

I dont really know why exactly, i guess my upbringing of Pac just makes me love west-side style music moreso than others and Game is the best around at that style. Production is always great, he has plenty of quotables and quite simply i love me some gangsta shit every now and again.


5. Notorious BIG

Man this was hard, i almost left it blank but i cant cop-out the first post of a top five list lol. Big edges a bunch of other guys almost solely due to how great Life After Death is. Flow is unique, bars are great. A little dated nowadays but damn Big's just... BIG.


Honourable mentions:

Big L, T.I, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Ma$e (Yeah and what!) Eminem, Obie Trice.
