Also have to jump into the discussion with Scarface being the best rapper ever and certain people that are acting really boneheaded and not listening to other peoples opinions and specifing that Tupac was the best ever. :rolleyes: First things first, Tupac is not overrated to me, whatsoever. I don't know if that's a bias because I'm from LA or just because he truly was one of the best. I have to say that's it all about your own opinion on things though, if OP thinks Scarface is the greatest rapper ever(He's heavily slept on by the way) then so be it! That's his opinion! I know I'll probably get flamed by general hip hop fans for this decision but Ice Cube has always and probably will be my favorite rapper of all time. Real hip hop heads will know that his work with N.W.A/Westside Connection as well as his solo stuff(AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, Lethal Injection, Predator, etc) was some of the best stuff to ever bless a mic. That's just my opinion though, I've seen Nas on here(which I can't really argue with), Pac, ATCQ, and various others put out there and it's cool that everyone has their own opinion on who's the "greatest" ever.


That Jay-Z bash was funny though, now I think that guy is overrated. :D

That just cause you from the LA :cool:

Good point, everyone has their own top 5. But I think you are hard to find a more rounded rapper than Pac, from introspective, to story teller, to gangsta, to party music, to inspirational, all while making the songs hits. Face is def underrated. I def get down with cube too, Westside Connection used to be my ish too. I'd throw Bone into the discussion for best groups, not sayin they are the best but def up there in my opinion. Not a big fan of Jay, but he can spit with the best of them. Surprised to not here more mention of BIG, number 2 on my list. Best flow of all time in my opinion, just couldnt match Pac's message and material. I like Nas and he is in my top 5. I usually leave Jay off my list just because I'm not a big fan. I have always been a big twista fan as well. Outkast has to be up there as a group as well, often forgotten in these conversations.
