Some people say hes on the legend level. Some people say hes on the mainstream level with others. Kendrick is my favorite rapper, & he is definitely one of the best right now especially after good kid maad city. Opinions on who the best rapper is out right now & why?
I'm personaly not a fan of rap but Macklemore in my opinion is a great rapper who also a great role model, preaching a good message compared to 2Chainz and Tyga.
If we're talking about all time favorite, that will be Tupac Amaru Shakur, no doubt. Live ones..I'm guessing Tech N9ne, Sam Lachow, Raz Simone, Common and sooo many others and order does not matter. I'm a big listener and the genres are combined.
Now is this about strictly rap or is hip hop kind of allowed here as well?
I like Tinie Tempah and I can always dig on some Wiz Khalifa and Kid Cudi, even Lupe Fiasco from time to time. 2 Chainz and Future kind of annoy me at this point, because they are the top 2 rappers and it seems they are on every freaking song that plays on the radio. But I still enjoy it. Lil Wayne is alright, along with Sage the Gemini. I can listen to them for a while, but only up to a point. I loooove Eve and I am not afraid to say I like Nicki Minaj. Lil Kim is annoying and Missy Elliot is great. Kreyashawn is just hilarious. Drake is good but sliiiiightly overrated, and Ludacris will always have a spot in my heart. Eminem annoys the heck out of me, sorry. I just don't like his voice. He's got some alright lyrics and I can listen to him for a bit but I just can't stand his voice. Hmm hmm who else... Tupac and 50 cent are gods in the rap industry and forever will be.
