Top 5 best hip hop artist alive?

Lil Wayne is not a hip hop artist. Sorry ya'll. He's probably the worst thing that's happened to hip hop in the past 5 years.

BlueBalls knows what it's all about. Jurassic 5, Common, Nas, The Roots and Talib Kweli. I'd ad De La Soul to that list as well. I'm digging Asher Roth right now.
 
I like The Roots a lot -- they don't strike me as hip-hop so much as jazz/fusion guys doing their own thing who just get called "hip hop" because that's what we called black performers now. For one thing, they can all read, write and play music.

I also like De La Soul, and I have a soft spot for Missy Elliot. I loved The Nappy Roots first record, but then that went all to hell.
 
Slayer
Pantera
Cannibal Corpse
Mötörhead
Rob Zombie
 
Jay z
Nas
TI
Kanye West
Lil Wayne

What a bitchmade list, the only one who should be up there is Nas , Jay-Z is overrated as whateva , TI is boring and Kanye West and Lil'Wayne are faggots.....


This is my list :
Eminem
Goretex
Chino XL
Ghostface Killah
Sticky Fingaz


Everyone who has lil'wayne and kanye west in their list should get a neg rep for supporting faggots....
 
Often in hip hop the artistry comes in the production. I would be interested to read from those with a better knowledge of this genre who are the great producers. (and why you think so.)
 

Big Poppa Pump

- My Name Is My Name -
Good call Mrs. Jolly

For that i would say

RZA
DJ Premier
Kanye (Can't stand him as a rapper, but his production in the Blueprint gets him in the list)
Dr. Dre
Just Blaze

If you like my posts can people please positive rep me because some jabroni gave me multi-negative reps for my top five rappers. Thanx in advance :lovecoupl

Jay z is not overrated. He may have fell off a lil bit, but he still is better than alot of rappers out today. Kanye might be cocky and all, but his music and speaks for itself. Lil Wayne might say some off the walll shit sometimes, but dude still can spit. Listen to Dedication 1 and 2 and Da Drought 1 and 2. I respect your list and I love Eminem and Ghostface Killah. I still bump Supreme Clientele.

What surprises me is , you're from Michigan but you haven't even mentioned Esham , Natas , King Gordy, Dice , ICP , Twiztid or D12 yet?
 
i find it ironic that you use the words hip-hop and artist in the same sentence...
just saying....

Why did you even click on the topic you crazy person? You knew it wasn't your demographic. Bad vibes for the sake of bad vibes, man. Bad vibes.

Mos Def.
Talib Kweli
JayZ
The Dilated Peoples
Busta Rhymes.
