WHO IS THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME? (POLL)

EmM HoLLa.

Biggie Smalls

The lack of respect for the Notorious B.I.G. is criminal.. This ? single handedly changed the direction of the culture.. Rap wouldn't sound the way it does today if it wasn't for B.I.G.

I still say Melle Mel is The GOAT. He laid down the blueprint.

Having said that, 90s rappers got better marketing and promotion. Also, Rappers in the 90s were signed to major labels and had better production budgets. They had major labels hiring the best producers for their albums (Jay, 2Pac, Biggie, Nas,)

Considering that the 90s rappers had better marketing, promotion and production than their 80s predecessors, 90s rap albums were better, but I wouldn't say that they rapped better, or that they were better rappers, they just had budgets that 80s rappers didn't have.

None of that ? make you a better rapper at all.

All the rappers mentioned would not be who they are if it wasn't for Rakim.

Him, Jay, Nas, 3 Stacks, B.I.G, Bis, Treach, Slick Rick, Busta, Royce are the only respectable answers if we talking strictly lyrically

im sure slick rick was rapping when rakim come out
