So good Def Jam created Def Jam South just for him to run.

2. Lauryn Hill
The Fugees, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Then she disappears for a few years only to end up on MTV 2 Unplugged. She seems to have gone insane, but for awhile there she was better than just about every other rapper anywhere. Her potential is off the charts.

3. Nas
Almost owned New York City after his mother died and went on a rampage of sorts. Calmed down. Still a very formidable rapper.

5. Wu-Tang Clan
RZA, GZA, Raekwon,U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Masta Killah, and Ol' Dirty Bastard
Solo they're decent. But as a group they are unstoppable and they owned the rap game for many a year.

self-proclaimed kings of rock.

Their style was ahead of its time.

8. Black Star
Talib Kweli and Mos Def. Seperately, they are considered to be the two best rappers on the East Coast by some. They play off each other so well you'd think they were actually a duo who parted ways, instead of just being two friends who are the best in the game.

9. Busta Rhymes
Started out with Leaders of the New School in the late 80's, early 90's. Often overlooked despite being incredibly innovative and always challenging the norm.

Fat-ass mofo. Unbelievable rapper.

12. Eminem
Even when he's not even trying he's better than most everyone. Not much for freestyle, but his normal stuff is epic win and lols.

13. DJ Quik
When he drops an album, the ground shakes. Although that might just be because he's from the Bay Area.

14. Notorious Big
Ironic that he was known for gangster rap, despite not being an actual gangster.

People who added this item   Average listal rating (5 ratings) 6.4  
15. Tupac
Pac and BIG were like the sides of the same coin. Good friends until he dissed BIG'S wife. A fued ensued. Both of them shot down and the killer's still out there.

18. Kanye West
Adversity breeds greatness, I guess. Producer gets in auto accident, becomes a rapper. Turns out he's good at it.

19. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien
He goes by many names. He's that one guy from Hieroglyphics. Some know him as Deltron 3030. More recently he played the part of Russell's Ghost from The Gorillaz. He's a chameleon.

One of the greatest of all time. The only thing stopping him is the fact he ain't got no record deal.

21. Shyne
In prison. Real gangster. For real.

I said to my friends way back when that he was going to blow up, and then he did about four years later.

I hate this dick head. Half his rhymes were jocked from other rappers. The other half is awesome.

25. Method Man & Redman
Meth and Red. Shared a bowl and somehow thought it would be a good idea to do an album together.

Description

this is not a favorites list. I'll try real hard not to make it one, atleast.

Honorable mentions go to LL Cool J because he fell off some time ago and never got back up to the top, and Snoop Dogg for releasing "Doggystyle", showing his real house on "MTV Cribs" and for trying to bring back funk.
