December 9, 2014 @ 11:54 AM EST
News
Dead Or Alive.
With Chris Rock’s Top Five hitting theaters this Friday, Revolt rounded up him, Rosario Dawson, Ed Lover, Angie Martinez, Shaheem Reid, Datwon Thomas, and Jayson Rodriguez to discuss their top five rappers. Personally? Jay Z, Nas, B.I.G., 2Pac, and Ghostface Killah. Sixth Man? Eminem. Who you got?
Chris Rock said My Beautiful Dark Fantasy > Thriller
Pookie still on them rocks.
HA!!! I thought he was gon speak on college dropout. Which is probably best hip hop album of my time so far.
Over Late Registration? Graduation? College Dropout sounded like a mixtape in comparison.
Thats because he had a feature on it
1. Nas
2. Kool G Rap
3. Mos Def
4. Big L
5. Big Pun
Not necessarily in that order honerable mentions for the spot in the top 5, Rakim and MF Doom. This is not just about being an MC its also about who brings out the essence of hip hop which is much deeper than having flow,lyrics and delivery.
Great list
Thanks fam
1. Nas
2. Kanye
3. Kendrick Lamar
4. Jayz
5. TBD
1. Eminem
2. Jay Z
3. Tupac
4. Drake
5. Nas
Ghostface over Em? You trippin’ bruh?
Quiet as kept, Ghost PROBABLY has the best first three albums in rap. Extremely underrated.
As much as it hurts to say but the amount of success has to play some role in being top 5. If not then it’ll be mayhem with the different opinions of who had great albums
Yessir
Alright I respect your opinion and all. Specially that you did say that that was your personal choice. But if it was up to me personally, I’d say there are many elemenets that can get a rapper a spot in the top 5 lists. 1. Music quality 2. lyricism 3.flow 4. Commercial success 5.relevance in the game 6. Word play (which can fall under lyricism but still). I think a top 5 rapper should meet and get a high score in all the elements mentioned above to be listed in the top 5. But again, that’s your personal choice and I respect that.
there’s THEE list and then, there’s a personal list. Eminem def makes the former. He has all those qualities yo mentioned. But I haven’t loved all his albums as much as i did the guys i mentioned. He’s still amazing tho.
LOL… GHOST DEBUT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THIS ILLEST RAP RECORDS OF ALL TIME – SUPREME CLIENTELE – EHH- BULLETPROOF WALLETS – NO THANKS – U HAD TO B SMOKIN DUST(LIKE HE WAS) TO UNDERSTAND HIM AT THAT POINT – I HAD GOT OFF THE GHOST TRAIN BY THEN
i stopped reading after you said Supreme Clientele was Ehh
U CAN’T PUT “ONE” @ THE BEGINNING & NOT FOLLOW IT UP WIT CONSISTENT HEAT
Em got skills, but his music is trash.
Alright maybe his style in music has changed in recent year but does that take away from his legacy? I highly doubt it. Take Kanye for example. Many say that yeezus was trash just because the style of music is foreign does that take away all the great albums that ye has put out in the past years?
THATS DEEP – I WOULDNT SAY TRASH – BUT HE MISSIN ELEMENTS – BCZ HIS STYLE DOESNT GO OVER SOUL BEATS…LOL – WHEN JAY STARTED RHYMIN OVER KANYE SOUL BEATS – HE WENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Mockingbird? Soul beats wasn’t his style but by far he had the most creative content
CREATIVE – METAPHOR WISE YEAH HE WAS BROADER WIT IT, BUT HE’S BEIN CREATIVE FOR ORIGINALITY SAKE – HE’S SICK WIT THAT – BUT AN IF THATS ALOT OF UR CONTENT – U START TO LOSE RELEVANCE WHEN PPL WANT SOMEONE WHO RELATES TO THEM – UR TALKIN ABOUT “SLIM SHADY, HOTTER THAN A SET O TWIN BABIES.. IN A MERCEDES BENZ WIT THE WINDOWS UP WHERE THE TEMP GOES UP TO THE MID 80’S” WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS LYRICALLY BY THE WAY- & EM WROTE THE WHOLE THING – HE’S IN MY CONVERSATION UP TOP
1 Fif 2 nas 3 jay 4 em 3 kanye
1. Pac 2.Wayne (Carter 1 – Carter 3) 3. Snoop 4. Kanye 5. Bun B
Rosario Dawson sexy as fuck
hov’s old piece.
Wow, you sound like a jealous hoe whos mad at the fact someone other than yourself had Hov’s dick in their mouth lol

I can’t respect “your” list if 2pac isn’t on it.
Same here!
No Em…..Joke
No Em, real hiphop scholar not some new fan who thinks saying Em makes u a hiphop head. Dude is grossly overrated
Pac
Em
Jay
Nas
Biggie
(It’s tough bc if we talking just off hits Jay is taking it. If it’s off impact Pac/Em would take it. If we talking best spitter Big would take it.)
EM over Jay? U think those silly but funny slim shady albums were better than blueprint or reasonable doubt? Or Illmatic? There should be hiphop fans and morons.
I’m a moron because I think Em is better and more impactful? Good luck in life buddy
most cliche list ive ever seen
It is what it is. Each of these are undeniably in top 10. After that it’s all subjective
wat impact did Em have?
What impact did he have? Um every white boy wanted to be him can’t say that about any other rapper on that list in their respective race. He opened the doors for name dropping with no fear of any retribution. That along wit the fact he could rap circles around any rapper of today yesterday and tomorrow.
lol so just because some white kids liked him, hes suddenly important?
he has classics and he brought out thebest in Dre…but everything else he did helped bring all these wack white boy suburban fans into hiphop..
Eminem
Nas
Talib kweli
Pharoahe monch
Jay-z
Ha! Where’s tupac? lol
As you can see he’s above all lol
Ahh got you
Eminem? Lol
2pac, Jay Z, Eminem, Nas, Joe Budden. ..And Raekwon holding on to that top 5 ledge with his hands.
Joe Budden??
The pump it up guy
LOL
Dead
JAY & NAS… THAT’S IT – AFTER THAT YOU HAVE GREAT LYRICISTS – BUT THESE GUYS MASTERED THE MUSIC- PAC MADE MORE CLASSICS THAN BIG – PAC HAD MORE TIME ON THE SCENE – BUT BIG WAS THE ONLY RAPPER ON TOP WHEN HE REIGNED – IT WASNT LIKE NOW HOW U GOT DRAKE, HOV, WAYNE – IT WAS BIG – & THEN EVERYONE ELSE- HE USHERED IN THE WHOLE VERSACE LIFESTYLE INTO THE GAME RAPPERS ARE STILL TRYIN TO EMULATE TODAY – CUBE IS INCREDIBLE, RAKIM DID SOME GREAT THINGS, SCARFACE CATALOG IS AMAZING EM DID SOME GREAT THINGS FOR BEING YOURSELF IN RAP – EM REACHED ALOTTA PPL’S HEART WIT THE MUSIC THAT STREET RAPPERS COULDN’T REACH- SO THEY LUV EM – PAVED THE WAY FOR DUDES LIKE KAYNE, J COLE & KENDRICK, DRAKE , GAMBINO THAT THEY COULD BE WHO THEY ARE & PPL WILL STILL LIKE THEM (NONE OF WHOM ARE ON THIS LIST)- WHEN NAS JAY PAC BIG CAME OUT – THEY DID BETTER THAN KANE & RAKIM , ETC – SO THATS WHY THEY IN THE GOAT LIST – UNTIL THIS NEW CLASS SUPERCEDE WHAT JAY NAS PAC BIG HAVE DONE – THEY WONT BE ON THAT LIST- KANYE & TI GOT THE BEST CHANCE – I’M STILL WATCHIN
I WENT BACK & I LISTENED TO ALOTTA DUDES ALBUMS THATS B4 MY TIME LIKE CUBE & SCARFACE – THEY CATOLOG WILL MAKE YA’LL TUCK YA WHOLE TOP FIVE
I’M ACTUALLY WATCHIN THE VIDEO RIGHT NOW AFTER I POSTED THIS SO ITS INTERESTING TO HEAR THEM MENTION THESE GUYS THAT I JUST SAID
I’m commenting so that it doesn’t look like you’re having a discussion with yourself.
Not one person mentioned Em tho??? Really???
HAAAAAAA!!!!!! SO YOUR BUTT HURT???? REALLY???
I’m not even a huge fan of him… but come on, Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers, and then The Eminem Show??? Who comes out the gate like that? No one
Those albums were funny and witty but not remotely comparable to Illmatic, ready to die, reasonable doubt etc.
It’s impossible to have an honest conversation about eminem’s legacy with the average hip-hop fan they are either so alienated by stans that they are afraid to be honest at risk of looking naive or they are stans themselves. I have yet to hear a real honest critique of eminems career and his impact on the rap world.
Dude Em is highly overrated. This is a mature list. Not some slim shady LP jokes bout raping ur mom list. EM is great but not top 5 material
If Em was black he’d be in every list, no doubt. Always mentioning the
‘joke songs’. Okay, what about The Way I Am, Stan, Soldier, Till I
Collapse, The Warning (Amazing diss),That’s All She Wrote, Like Toy Soldiers, Lose Yourself… He has done a lot more than just ‘joke’ music. He’s done funny, angry, pop, motivational. He’s mastered the game. Bringing in money with the pop tracks and sticking to his roots with pure technical rap (Rap God).
He is in my top 5, the 4 others are black but the white guy always gets singled out. It always comes down to race. It’s 2014 man, it’s getting boring.
How is Gurunot in peoes top five? Am I bugging?
monotone
I don’t mind Kanye as an artist I just don’t know why he was mentioned in this top 5 convo. He’s great musically with his beats and samples and hooks n all but as a rapper there’s atleast 20 heads in front of him. Including Em smh that was by far the biggest disappointment in this vid
1. Black Thought
2. Mos Def
3. Nas
4. André 3000
5. Ghostface Killah
6. Pharoahe Monch
It would be a cliché to mention Rakim, Kool G Rap or the dead emcees (Pac, Biggie, Big L, Big Pun).
Cliche is an opinion or statement that’s overused yet I didn’t hear one person in the video that were commenting on say big I or big puns name but they all did mention nas which you also did. Contradictory ass nigga, fuck up megafag and stick to commenting on videos with your queer hero young homo thug in them
1. I didn’t talk about this comment section, faggot.
2. I don’t like Young Thug.
3. You disgust me, I hope you jump off a bridge.
Over rating is exactly what you did making that list. Jayz and Nas are the two sides of the coin for greatest of all time. No matter what your list is, there is just no getting around what these two have brought to the table in Hip Hop.
Jay-Z dumbed down his lyrics. Nas stayed true to his roots.
Jay didnt dumb down his lyrics and if you think he did cause he implied it in a song? Keep in mind the song is called “Moment Of Clarity”… You can’t dumb down and then go on to write songs like Minority Report, Beach Chair, Pray, American Dreaming, Fallen, DOA, Forever Young, Heaven, and Oceans… I dummy cant write those songs. And of course Nas stayed true to his roots, he never was anybody else other then Nas. I mean you seriously think Mos Def did it better (artistically)? I mean I like Mos Def, Black Thought and Pharoahe Monch but COMEONSON and Andre 3k only has one album and that was a R&B, Neo Soul album.
Jay-Z is a sellout with mainstream albums and puppet to the white man and the sad part of it all is that he has the nerve to act like he is not. Nas keeps it real and is one of the only few rappers who raps about meaningful things and represents true hip hop and doesn’t stay or go mainstream.
Jayz is a Rocnation artist and before that he was on Rocafella, guess who owns both? JAYZ. There is no white man that he works for. Jayz became mainstream when 5 million people bought his third album but he didnt make those people support his music. They just wanted to. Thats not selling out, thats called being successful.
White man? Doesn’t Jigga work for Jigga? Sellout? Because he sells albums? What else you got? And fuck off with the true hip hop bullllshit. Define true hip hop right now without using the name of any artists and explain what makes it “true” vs “false”…. I’ll be waiting.
wats wrong with mainstream?
KRS-One, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang and Dre.
but no talib kweli?
1.Pac 2.Jay Z 3. Nas 4. B.I.G 5. MixtapeWeezy (Dedication 1&2 Carter 1&2 era)
Wouldn’t expect Chris Rock to be so well versed in Hip Hop but after seeing a few recent interviews his knowledge is impressive. Need to get a brain storm with a list of Top 5 leaders of the new school #2014ForestHillsDrive #ItsShallow
……You do know he grew up in Bed Stuy aka a major part of Brooklyn!!! Why would he not be well versed in Hip Hop historically?
Guess every resident of Bed Stuy is a die hard Hip Hop fan? I’ll go talk dreamchasers with Kevin Hart
Ok so I do agree with B.Dot there is ” The List” and there is your personal opinion.
Personal Opinion
1. 2pac You listen to that man’s music now and tell me it does not dwarf a lot of the existing B.S that we are accustomed to. Forget all that beef shit and really listen to Me Against The World, All Eye’s on Me, Makaveli and tell me he does not set the bar content wise so high.
2. Jay Z He is the ultimate Mc’s Mc period . To have survived so many different generations with only one brick ( Kingdom Come wasn’t really that bad we just have great expectations based on his previous work) . No one can weave in and out of a beat as good as Jay except Big and he died way too early.
3. Nas There are not enough word’s to describe that man’s skills on the Microphone His brilliance and lyricism can dominate anyone on any given day. He has that original New York sound that will never age (and he also only caught 1 brick Nastradomus ).
4. Scarface The meanest Mc to ever come from down south ( Andre is more charismatic but has no real solo albums. Classic after classic after classic subject matter, flow, story telling original O.G.
5. Kayne West this was hard for me because I love Jadakiss as a Mc but Kayne has hand’s down changed the face of music in the last 10 years. His subject matter, creativity, and honesty kills all that other bullshit that we see about him in the media. Cruel Summer was not a brick we just didn’t like a couple of songs lol.
My 6th man is Jadakiss The originator of the slick talk you list a battle mc or a shit talking rapper in the last 15 years and they prob stole from Jadakiss ( or Big L let’s be honest. No his discography is not great but he is that dope.
The only thing keeping Kiss out this talk is his lack of hits. But when that boy makes a hit it’s a damn good song
There’s also been no growth or evolution for Jadakiss in terms of subject matter or style. Don’t get me wrong – he’s good for what he is – but don’t act like he hasn’t basically been rapping the same verse for close to 20 years.
i have 2 top 5’s
rakim jay z/biggie

5. Kanye
Wild card is Andre 3000(my personal favorite).
He lost me at Thriller
You lost me at Wayne.
Carter 2 & Carter 3? You sleeeep
Carter II was a solid album, and Carter III had some decent cuts, but was more the beginning of the end than anything else. Regardless, neither are anywhere near reaching a “top five” status.
Biggie
Wayne
Hov
Pac
Cole
Kendrick Lamar
Tupac Shakur
Andre 3000
Drake
BIG
No particular order.
1.) 2Pac
2.) Eminem
3.) Biggie
4.) Andre 3000
5.) Bizzy Bone
6th man is Nas.
Bizzy bone? Lol
Listen to ‘Heavenz Movie’ and tell me that ANY other rapper could’ve put out something like that. One of the all time greats and greatly overlooked.
Lil Wayne
Eminem
Game
Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar
YN’s:
1.) Jay-Z
2.) Jay-Z again
3.) Ross
4.) Drake
5.) Jay-Z one more time for good measure.
lmao my g you hit the nail on the head with this one, super accurate here ahahhahahhahahaha
Too bad. Don’t think we will be seeing any more shitty Ross x Drake collabos. Diddy put an end to that with 4 fingers and a thumb! Slapped that soft lil bitches shoulder right out the socket. What grown man gets slapped in public and doesn’t throw back…? Drake. That is who.
Since when has been cool to get shot and not shoot back?
thats bdots list
This shit should have been called “Old People Talk Top 5 90’s rappers”. Not one Em Mention, Not one Kendrick Mention? Drake? Cole? It’s cool that you old heads love the OG’s, but it’s time to let go. The new generation has taken this shit to the next level.
What are one of these new generation HERBS! Drake, j.cole…gtfoh any rapper one hit wonder or not is better then both easy…
The 90’s were not when I was listening to Hip-Hop either but do you really think that those 3 have earned there stripes yet? Especially for a top 5 list?
hell no!
Have not earned their stripes? FOH. Krit, Cole, and Kendrick all have bigger catalogues than biggie and pac had. No disrespect to them because they are both my favorites, but their careers were cut too short to put them in a top 5 list. Had they lived, would they have stayed consistent? would they stand the test of time? YOU AINT GOT THE ANSWERS ALEX!!!!
Nas and HOV deserve top 5.
bro. Both Biggie and Pac had way more influential songs than these young cat’s you’re mentioning. They also had more hits and all that from such a small catalog? That tells a lot, home.
I dont even consider Kanye for top fives, I am asking myself Dre or Kanye.
Pac
Pun
Bone Thugs
Rakim
Nas
Who’s the best?,Pac Nas and BIG! – Nas on Ether
1. Tech N9ne
2. Eminem
3. Rakim
4. The Notorious B.I.G.
5. 2Pac
1. Lupe Fiasco
2. J. Cole
3. Nas
4. Mos Def
5. Kendrick Lamar
While I like every artist on this list but you just can’t put newbies on an all time list until they earn it.
Eminem has an Oscar…chris rock doesn’t smh nobody even mentioned Marshall?
1. NAS
2. BIGGIE
3. JAY-Z
4. RAKIM
5. LL COOL J
………FUCK YO LIST!!!! HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Krs one is the greatest MC of all time followed closely by Rakim. Nas is third. Then Tupac. Fifth is a toss up btwn Jay Z, BIG and Eminem.
1. Jay-z
2. Nas
3. Ghostface Killah
4. B.I.G
5. Kanye West
Shittiest Top 5 ever. I mean i respect their opinions but they lost from the get go by putting 6 New Yorkers discussing rap music. I get it, it started off in New York, its birth place. New Yorkers have to be the most biased people when it comes to talking about rap music. Look beyond America, you know how influential Pac STILL is today. The only rappers that come close are BIG, Jay & EM. To see that just a few gave pac “honorable” mentions on the table smh. Who ever compares MBTDF and THRILLER?! I can;t even further with a lot of points why this has to be the shittiest list ever.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! YOU FUCKIN’ CRYBABY!!!! JUMP OFF A FUCKIN’ BUILDING IF YOU AIN’T HAPPY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I bet you’d be happy to be dick riding opinions. Sorry i’m not the one to give you one crack head
YOU’RE A BITCH!!!! ACTIN’ LIKE A FUCKIN’ FEMALE OVER A DAMN LIST!!!! KICK ROCKS, HOMEGIRL!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Top 5 is very ambiguous. Ppl don’t realize that there’s a difference between ur top 5 favorite rapper’s and the top 5 greatest rappers.
I don’t agree with PAC having to be on every persons top 5 list, BUT. If this was 10 dudes from westcoast, talking about their top fives. It would be spread way wider than what these dudes list’s are. Almost each of their lists were. 4 new york rappers and ice cube. lmfao.
5.Scarface
4.Ice Cube
3.Chuck D
2.LL Cool J
1.2pac/Makaveli
jay is the ultimate alround mc ….. nas purest mc
…i don’t know man. everyone has their preference but i think we overlook kanye. he may not be ill lyrically compared to nas or biggie but u can’t deny that kanye birthed a whole new generation of artists. not just rappers, but producers and singers. no other rapper has ever had that influence…em, jay, and the other legends may rap better than him but they can’t consistently make better SONGS than him and it’s already been proven…i love these arguments tho…peace niggas.
Dusty ass top fives
YOUR MOMS IS THE 6TH MAN!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I heard your mama a Frisco dyke!
If the only time their music is played is on the throwback hour then I’m sorry they shouldn’t be too 5 all time. Might of been huge in the era and birthed some greats but your music got to stand the test of time.
Treach
If we’re talking about lyricist then Lupe is undoubtedly the greatest. Maybe not making hits but there are few that come close lyrically.
How the fuck the asian woman have the best list?
1.2pac 2.aundre3k 3.kanye 4.Nas 5.lauryn hill
1.Pac
2,Jay
3.Kanye
4.Old Lupe
5.Method Man
okay okay …. Jay-Z, Kanye West , Nas, Biggie and POSSIBLY LL Cool J or Eminem depending on how i’m feeling.
I don’t give a fuck about any of these folks’ top 5 – it sounds like they were relying on hits. My top five goes on lyrical skill and influence.
1. Nas
2. Rakim
3. Kool G Rap
4. Eminem
5. B.I.G.
Honorable Mentioned:
Ras Kass
Jay-Z
KRS-1
Genius / GZA
Big Daddy Kane
2 PAC
Ghostface Killah
Common (94 era)
Big Pun
El-P
Makes me sad that no one mentioned eminem! The most hits and the most lyrical out of all of them. Only EMCEE who actually came back from drugs and became a better lyricist than he was before.
eminem is not as good as yall say
how many albums of eminem have you heard?
I mean actually sit down listen to his wordplay, wit, emotion and the way he crafts it all together with the beat.
ive heard them all…he can rap his ass off…but he really didnt have much impact
IF there was no eminem hip hop would not have grown so fast. Eminem brought in millions of people who were not hip hop fans but just a fan of eminem and through eminem they learnt about more hip hop artists and started supporting other artists also eminem gave us 50 cent and g unit, which speaks for itself.
do you know many of these “millions of people” say “i dont like rap but i like eminem” “eminem is the best rapper”
fuck them all…thats not bringing people into hiphop..thats people mocking hiphop and black people
yes but if people like eminem did not bring those fans into hip hop. then all these black rappers who were struggling in the streets wont be getting the money they getting now because the fan base would have been smaller and hip hop is not black. its for all people.
i never said hiphop is only for black people…but its not for white suburban kids who only care about eminem
Biggie
Jay-Z
2Pac
Nas
Lil Wayne
If you list doesn’t include 50 you can chew a dick.
G Unit killing MMG right now.
majority East Coast natives on the table I just hate hate how tupac never gets the credit he deserves. 7 day theory says it all and is still very relevant in whats going on today RIP the GOAT
Rosario & Chris Rock kept it 100
Eminem should be on everyone’s list. Shame on yaaaall!!!
