Best Hip Hop/Rap Songs/Artists?

I've been listening to rap for a while but haven't gotten hold of the best rap songs. Tupac's pretty popular, and I like some of Snoop's music too.

Who do you guys think is the best rap artist? You should include a link to some of the artist's songs too

 

Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Curren$$y so many artist to name

 

If you are referring to present day artists, I like Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, and J Cole.

My internet is slow so I can't go through youtube and find specifics for you but here are the albums I listen to from the rappers above.
Big Sean - Hall of Fame
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Mad City (new album coming soon)
J Cole - Born Sinner, he also has previous music that was successful.

Kanye West is a mix of hip hop and pop, but he is also a decent rapper if you like his previous works. I am not a big fan of his latest album, Yeezus.

If you were referring to less-recent rap/hip hop artists, the conventional would include Tupac, Nas, Biggie. Further on down the road could include Snoop, Dre, Eminem (New album coming in November I believe)

It is all about what you like. Many rap artists portray their own style. I really like Big Sean's style personally, some like Lil Wayne even though he is a mix of pop and hip hop, and some believe Kendrick Lamar is the next Tupac. Hope you find what you are looking for

 

Some of my personal favs--

Nas:


(Also "Hate me Now" is good)

Eminem:

​

B.o.B:


The Alchemist ft Snoop Dogg:


Andre 3000:

 

I like Drake a lot.

He is a rapper, but he also does a lot of singing as well because he has a nice voice. A lot of his stuff is a combination of singing/rapping.

I really like his newest song off his new album that's not released yet, but it's a bit different from what he usually does. I'll link his new song as well as an older one that I like.

New song:


Older one:


Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think

 

The only two 'rappers' I've ever enjoyed listening to are 2pac, and eminem.

Just before anyone talks about lil' wayne


and lets face it, if tupac was still alive, lil' wayne would be working in McDonalds.

 

They could all drop dead tonight for all I care.

 

I only listen to comedic rap, so The Lonely Island.

 

& H.U?

 

Hollywood Undead? They are a rap-rock band, just like linkin park, which is epic. That's not rap as in tupac which sucks.

 

You mentioned comedic rap, which it is

 

If Tupac has funny lyrics.......

 

HU not Tupac.. I never mentioned Tupac once lol..

 

if you don't like tupac you don't deserve to even post on this thread dedicated to hip hop.

 

That's why I am posting about rap.

 

jay Z , action bronson, lupe fiasco, chance the rapper, drake, run the jewels, kanye west, cannibal ox, mf doom
