Top 50 – Best Rappers Of All Time (2016)

Best Rappers Of All Time.

After seeing the worst rappers of all time, it’s time to create a contrast with the best rappers of all time list. Everyone has an opinion who is the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) and everyone has a list of their favorite MC’s. Who’s the greatest MC of all time? What does that title really mean? What does it take to become the greatest rapper ever? Times change. Skills fade. New greats emerge; old ones decline. How do you crown one MC the best when there are so many great emcees still working? The following 50 emcees have done everything it takes to make a play for the throne. #hiphopuniverse #hiphoprankings

Finally, a definitive list of the best rappers of all time, ranked by fans all over the world. From the early ’80s to present day, this list counts down rap’s best lyricists and game changers in history. Lil’ Wayne, Method Man, Jay-Z, Eminem, Andre 3000, and T.I are among the artists that appear on this amazing countdown. Rappers from all cities, both genders, and all races are all vying to be crowned the greatest rapper ever.

What makes a rapper great? There are a number of differing definitions and philosophies. Rapper J. Cole (who finds himself on the Ultimate List below) cites consistency as the most important attribute, and says it’s important to look both for the big humorous “punch” lines as well as the underlying message of the rapper’s songs. Nas (another MC featured on the list) focuses as well on the meaning of the songs, as well as the scale and ambition of the rapper’s narratives and storytelling. (He has also gone on the record as saying that there is no such thing as the “best rapper” or “Greatest of All Time” – often abbreviated as G.O.A.T.)

Numerous different skills and attributes all must come together to make a truly legendary MC. Obviously, a rapper must display a sense of rhythm and an ability to compliment the beat in unpredictable and exciting ways. A gift for lyricism and vocabulary is similarly essential – you can have the flow of the century, but if the words don’t come together to tell a compelling story or present a unique point of view, it’s still not going to translate into a great hip-hop song. But of course there’s also an intangible element that elevates some rappers into the ranks of the greatest of all time. Who are these rappers who stand heads above the competition? You tell us, by voting for your favorites below or making your own list of Top Rappers.

So these rappers come into mind when the question “who is the best rapper of all time” comes into mind. MF Doom was accidentally left out.
